Your micro-solidarity model is replicable without your or anyone else’s intervention. Plus, I’ve hazarded a guess that you might have other interesting ideas in your brain that haven’t been pulled out publicly yet.

So far I've got good marketing but no proof that it's possible to reliably nudge people from individualism to relationality. It could be a fundamentally mysterious problem with no context-independent solution. Glad to have your confidence though!

I have opinions about this! Circling / authentic relating was a key for me, as was basically trauma work - got a lot easier to be relational when I got emotionally unblocked enough that I could actually feel other people. Suspect this is a big barrier for many others.

I wonder how far it can stretch. Eg does effective circling require face to face transmission down a lineage of mastery?

It does sorta seem that way to me, but fortunately that transmission can happen during circling itself!

Also how do you know if you are on the right track or slightly off course and stuck in a developmental dead-end?

I'm not questioning your practice, just saying these things are very subtle so I'm a long way from claiming I know how it scales

Yeah, makes sense. It's a good question, there are different schools of circling that disagree on how to do it and what it's for, and there are lots of subtle ways to fuck it up, shadow / ego / etc. getting in the way, spiritual narcissism type dynamics.
