In this intense two hour long interview, Justine and Michael Toms explore some of the deep feelings and examples of deep democracy related to Arny's "THE DEEP DEMOCRACY OF OPEN FORUMS". (Michael Toms recently published, A TIME FOR CHOICES: DEEP DIALOGUES FOR DEEP DEMOCRACY, where he speaks with many alternative thinkers about 9/11 and war on "terrorism".) We were moved by Justine and Michael Toms' guided the interview enabling us to explain how visions of democracy can be translated into practice during war-threatening times. We unfolded ideas about how "leaders" should learn to model dealing with attacks, and how conflict creates the opportunity for everyone to express their inner life struggles, thereby relieving tense outer meetings and forums.

Her questions covered Amy's book Metaskills, and Arny's recent DREAMMAKER'S APPRENTICE and THE DEEP DEMOCRACY OF OPEN FORUMS. Deb was fascinated by the connections between inner work and organizational and world change.

Unexpectedly during our moving Frankfurt worldwork training, modern issues of Israel and Germany, as well as the history between Jews and Germans going back into world war II arose. We also focused upon issues between "Women and Men". The general training atmosphere allowed us to go deeply into these historical problems.Thanks to the Frankfurter Ring for hosting us.

The 330 people from 40 countries created, together with the worldwork staff from all over the world, one of the most incredible eight days we can ever remember. We focused upon a host of issues and worldwork skills. We are thankful to the Greek organizers and community that came together there, who created a wonderful pot for cooking world issues. We worked on problems around immigration in Greece, the relationship between Greece and the USA, Palestinian-Israeli and Muslim-Hindu conflicts, Balkan issues present and past, women's issues, homophobia, racism, and many other world topics. There were new visions of worldwork, including creativity and shamanism, inner and movement work. And a great talent show at the end!

It was an honor working with a most wonderful Hospital Staff in Kobe, Japan. We learned a lot about adapting organizational aspects of worldwork to that particular hospital community, about large group communication in Japan, and how the connections between stress and organizational expansion can be worked with. We did open forum brainstorming, had fun with body work in the center and left feeling that if we were ill, that hospital would be a place we would feel safe and well.
