What I got from DEM was an experience of the possibility of a different kind of world… a world where what is consistently valued is trusting one’s inner voices; trusting that one is always doing the best one can at the moment; trusting one’s feelings, intuition, dreams; trusting other ways of communication besides words. … dance , song, art, silence, tears… and hearing truth beyond the words used; trusting the spirits who we live amongst; trying to listen always to their voices and guidance and needs as well as our own; a world where people know and believe in–without doubt–elves, druids, gnomes, Little people; where all children of the great spirit have voice, .. rocks, trees, birds, wind, moon… ; where we know the earth as our Great Grandmother; a world where what is valued is loving oneself, and loving life.
