- Presentation: Delon (De) Musselman
- Sacred Circle: A safe space where you can be transparent, authentic, genuinely who you are. De has been using Sacred Circle with groups for 52 years
- A circle is an amazing facilitator for communication. Sit in a circle with nothing in between you. If everyone is committed to honoring the person speaking, the discussion is powerful.
- Stability, Guidance and Knowledge are essential to growth.
- Stability: lays the foundation of who you become.
- De was born into a multi-generational home with much love, support, and security.
- Grandma Sadie was born during the Civil War. She experienced traumatic loss in her life. She was a life-teacher and taught him to slow down. The gift of focused observation is the best gift he has received.
- Ray Baldwin, grandpap: Always took time to acknowledge and love De. Pap taught De that if your word is good, your word is good for you and everyone around you. Your word is priceless.
- Madelyn: De’s mother. She taught him about kindness. When Delon was ‘naughty’, she would turn to him and say “Was that kind?”. She did not lecture, but wanted De to internalize his own choices.
- She also taught him the “Braid of Life”: Patience and Kindness, laced and woven together by Forgiveness.
- If you are sitting in unforgiveness, patience and kindness will be hard to come by.
- You cannot separate the three.
- Gratitude Piece: What is the best thing that has happened to you today?
- As soon as you focus on gratitude, it gets your brain attuned to positive. It gets those around you to turn to positive thoughts!
- Making Faribault a friendlier place: Say HELLO!
- The choices you make in life ultimately determine your destiny!
