Dear Marc, you can dish out and fully receive only if you are participant from A through Z. And you can hold time and space, be fully present for that and at the same time invisible best when you stay in the role of facilitator. So, it might be a good idea to have just one of you four be the f

The issue with latex balloons, which are biodegradable, is how long they sit around before they are released. If they are filled properly and released right away they will soar high enough into the atmosphere to shatter into very small pieces which will be consumed by microorganisms upon landing.
