Excellent article. Will be incorporating this into my New Moon work this week.

Thank you, Victoria! 🤗 I'd love to hear about how your New Moon work goes, if it feels good to share. And thanks for this reminder! The New Moon is coming up soon!

So interesting Jenna and very relevant for me. This week I realised that although I am the teacher, I don't have to know everything. It's ok to ask others to contribute their wisdom too, which really helps me as I tend to want to do it all myself!

Oooh, this is great insight! I, too, tend to try to do it all myself. I think it's because I have control issues as well as a weird fear of being an imposition. But yes! Just as you said...it's ok to ask others to contribute their wisdom. Wonderful! Thank you for that!

Oh I feel this too, I can have control issues, I also may have authority issues and so am not particularly fond of the word "teacher" ...Plato's "true wisdom is knowing you know nothing" comes to mind and I prefer to think new ideas, new paths, skills, enlightenment coming from guides. Can you tell I'm an unschooler? 😆

I love this take on Teacher, thank you! It does sort of have a hierarchy built into it, doesn't it? I balk at authority too, you're definitely not alone there. 😁 Now I'm wondering if I tend to think of the guide and the teacher as interchangeable. Hmmm...I will have to ponder this. Yay! I love pondering!
