Stammtisch 2 in Sweden, Uppsala

[Agneta Setterwall]

Hello list! We had a very nice, not to say wonderful, stammtisch in Uppsala. Because of you Raffi I brought my camera - and, then, because of me, I forgot to take any pictures! We were five persons, with an interesting diversity. When it comes to generations - one was my 19 years old daughter, now a student. Not arriving with me, coming out of her own free will! I don´t know if anyone noticed, but I announced the first Uppsala stammtisch just a few days before the date, 5 september. It was an impulse, but an impulse I had been pregnant with for a longer time then. Of course I got scared...and of course, I had good reason! A few people mailed me, public or not, telling me that they appreciated the initiative, but unfortunately they could not do it with this short...I understood, and still I hoped that somebody would have the time and energy. I showed up, right time and place - and nobody else.  I struggled. Practiced. Practiced the principles, the law, the self-empathy (from Non Violent Communication) , the "I feel a little embarrased and vulnerable, and I know that partly it is my grandious Self playing with me, and that I should be acceptant and that I am not ridiculous at all, but ......!!!!" - and then came my PARTICIPANT, a little late, all the way from Stockholm!!! (Thank you, Joachim, I don´t think you are on this list yet.) And I shared it, and we had a nice time. And now, after the second time I really feel that a stammtischspace is on its way - as a raft on a river. If I didn´t knew better I would now quote from a swedish poet... Things like this gives me inspiration and trust. And wings, so today I came into a very fast inner decision process (again!) which ended up in my registration for PoP in Berlin in the end of november.

Katalin is a nice pub close to Uppsala station. It takes 40 - 50 minutes with train or bus from Stockholm central station. My mobilenumber is 0046 (0)70 687 00 95, my home number 0046 (0)18 32 16 14. This is the second stammtisch in Uppsala, and I have reasons to believe we will be more then two persons (as we were the first time...). yours Agneta Setterwall, Uppsala, Sweden * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
