Tahnee Wolf, a wonderful facilitator in Australia, and Marcia Martin, an equally bright light from LA, delivered a symposium in Bali recently (tough job, someone had to do it) and so inspired 4 folk from Hong Kong that when I offered to stop over for 24 hours on my way from mainland China to New Zealand my offer was taken very seriously.

 Led by the amazing Jo Fok, they organised 2 symposiums and an Introduction to the Symposium Training, all in the short time I was on the ground.

 Jo and her huge-hearted hubby Paul met me from the airport train and whisked me off to a room they had found for Symposium #1, a children.s nursery no less.  Fifteen people joined us and 4 hours later we knew we were a team with work to do.  Rayne had stepped up to help get the translation finished for the Mandarin sub-titled DVD, Vicky took 60+ business cards I'd collected in Hangzhou, each representing a Chinese speaker who wants to play, and promiesed to transcribe them into a data base which Juan has set up for us.  Other people offered their networks or design sevices.  Something was starting for HK but as part of the mainland China venture too.

Then Jo and Paul whisked me off to my new Hong Kong pad, a friend's apartmentshe had arranged for me to use.  Early the next day Jo and I took breakfast (including the famous "ladies stocking coffee" which tasted great either despite or because it had been drained through someone's hose!!!!).  Refreshments apart I could tell I was sat with a very special person, someone who is prepared to commit herself to the work of healing the world, knowing full well this is work we do on the inside just as much as the outside.  Pachamama was with us so strongly amidst the concrete, glass and steel of this amazing city.

Without pause we headed off to Serena's, another wonderful friend of Jo's hosted a symposium for 5 in her 16th floor apartment, beautifull comfortable with staggering views over the city.  Another 5 people conected with our message and we bagan to hatch plans for a big symposium later this year for 00's of people that these wonderful folk can bring together.

Off again, to lunch, where we met up with Fiona Matthews, founder of Earth Champions, who I had last met at Be the Change in Londn in 2005; an extra-ordianry force for change and a potential ally of ours, we just have to work out how.  Then we went back to my pad for an Introduction Training - lo and behold 9 people had been unreasonable enough to get the afternoon off work to attend and the Dream Makers were born.  Pascal, Sarah, Jon, Eva, Chelsea, Merrin, Mani, Les ad Jo, welcome to the world-wide facilitator body.  An intense, profound and beautiful afternoon ended with all-to-brief hugs then a taxi to a train to a plane and away.

I had invited Jo to make the fullest use of my time in HK, and she certainly did that.  And Jo and Paul wouldn't let me even visit a bank, they escorted me everywhere, paid for everything, fed and housed me and I saw in this their hearts (thank you guys, I love you both), I understood how Jo has become such a successful TV producer and I knew in these moments that big things will follow in Hong Kong and through HK also, on the mainland. 

To everyone I met in Hong Kong a huge thank you, whatever emerges from this I know we have wonderful partners in you all, and together we can create new dreams in many, many ways.  Here's to all that will unfold.
