Message from Pip

Pip Wilson at ROOTS
You are so good to be with you ROOTERS …………….
It was so good to be with you in Toledo
It was powerful for me.
I regret not being able to chat with everyone 121.
But I had many individual encounters which were wondrous in terms of sharing, learning & helpful feedback to me.
I am still feeling the week in my soul and feeding off so many wondrous reflections from you during the experiential exercises we worked at together.
You gave so much even from the start with my two questions::
The one about the Tattoo on palm & asking you to disclose your Favourite Scar!
What a Kick-Off to the day that was.
You opened like a flower to the sun.

I am still recovering –  BUT loved every minute of being & BECOMING with you ALL.


I wanted to follow up with some info I didn’t adequately communicate in my sessions – time seemed to go so fast.
Enclosing some links to the things I was asked questions about and I feel I did not manage to brief you as clearly as I wished.

Becoming Questions is the book I have published full of questions like the ones I asked you.

Here are lots of questions – ideas you can use in your work.
LINK:: http://www.pipwilson.com/2017/06/this-is-book-of-mine-i-wish-you-would.html

The dynamic of the day was so powerful & I sensed, and

was told verbally by some of the group, that the day was stretching emotionally.
I appreciate the ‘post-its’ you composed twice in my Tuesday sessions.
I will scan them and send then to you via Vardan – if you didn’t write one
feel free to send me any reflection to – pip@pipwilson.com

I am pleased you were able to participate so powerfully – we will remember these experiences!

“Growth does not reside in a place called comfortable!”
I hope you have had your own oxygen mask on since?

I was asked about the Blob Retention image I used in my introduction.

HERE:: https://www.blobtree.com/products/blob-retention

The opening movie I used on the day is a clip from :: PRECIOUS

Not suitable for children but the whole Hollywood movie is powerful. I have used the whole movie, cut up into short clips, on week-ends with young people – so powerful.
You will find clips on YOUtube if you want to view more.


The Brene Brown clip I used about NUMBING is from a 20 minute Ted talk – see::
