I'm a Quaker, and I'm currently studying the integration of spirituality and organizational life. As a part of that, I'm very interested in how the Quaker practice of "sense of the meeting" can be translated into non-religious organizations. As I'm explore this, I'm putting some writings and videos about the topic on this blog: http://spiritofinstitutions.blogspot.com/. Thank you for the book, and for doing this blog. I look forward to following it. I’m currently reading and savoring Gentle Action. I’m a Quaker, and I’m currently studying the integration of spirituality and organizational life.

Yes, the midwife is a good metaphor. It has also been used in a different context by the "Chalice of Repose" who work with the dying via harp music. Sometimes they refer to their work as sacred midwifery because they see the subtle of the spirit leaving the gross of the physical body and being reborn. Thank you Harriet.

I appreciate what Ron wrote: "reaching into the stillness of our consciousness where all the answers await us" The context of "creative suspension" provides the place for the development/birth of what is to come; akin to a midwife, waiting for what will be born.

Thank you for this post, David. You'll enjoy knowing that Peter Deitz has a long history of working with and among the Quaker community. A recent Social Actions team meeting included a moment of silence to appreciate the contributions of all of the people involved in the Social Actions initiative. It was both powerful and calming at the same time. A wonderful practice. Another reason to be grateful for this new blog. Thank you for this post, David.
