I'm SO thrilled to see this revision, Nan. As you know, I upgraded to become a paid subscriber to this stack after the event. I did it for the very reasons you describe here in this video—to listen to women's voices and their stories, and to honour coming together and sharing in the spirit of community. However, when I later discovered the event was a competition, I took a step back. This week, I'd planned to reach out privately to let you know my misgivings about the format. But you've already addressed this! And you've done so BEAUTIFULLY with exemplary courage. I love, LOVE that these events will no longer be competitions. And I agree that the competetive model—while it has its uses—is part of an old system we need not bow to. I celebrate the idea of women coming together simply to share and be witnessed. To get to know one another and our stories. You are a role model, Nan. Thank you for your bravery and humility, your voice, and your heart-centred service to this co-creative vision.
