"Ruminating on the word “Field” gives shape to ways of thinking about what took place during our week toegther. “Field” speaks to being out in the world, in open land or space. “Field” is a also a space that meets us – an “enlivening” that we engage. We can also understand “Field” as something we generate and create together – as an experience or space between people, that is enlivening and moving and is itself responsive to our participation. So being in the Field points to actual research into encounter and exchange." SC
