Dearest Corina and other co-learners,
Regarding your queries:

I joined this listserve recently and contribute to it because it is
hopefully a learning network that is mutually enriching for all of us.

Yes, I would also like to know about this. I believe we are defining this
as we go along, but I am unclear. I suspect the objective is to learn and
grow through exchanging ideas about learning and related subjects.

Bravo Corina! I hope you always remain honest and reflective. If the
objective is to learn through an exchange of ideas then I agree with you
that care must be taken by each of us to make certain we contribute in
such a way that is of mutual benefit to everyone. Of course I have written
about this previously, and most recently posted a message about women's
ways of learning. It seems to me that this list serve is somewhat
dominated by a Socratic style of communication (impersonal abstract thesis
is posed and then challenged), which can be very off-putting to those
whose style is to seek intimacy and equality through connected
understanding.
I feel very responsive to what you are saying and hope you will
participate in the list serve more often. It is likely that because we
don't participate the balance between separate knowing and connected
understanding gets skewed.
Bright Spring Blessings,
Sajeela
