Desteni America- Day 1

Today I arrived at Houston to the first Desteni America Meeting. I had Katie meet me up at the airport. I was a bit nervous for meeting everyone because I have never seen them face to face before. As soon as I saw Katie, all the nervousness went away and I began talking to her as if I had known her for along time. I know Katie from Desteni chats and listening and reading her vlogs/blogs. Meeting her face to face so no different.  We waited for Gabrielle and left for the house.
When I got to the house there were about 10 Destonians on their lap tops and talking to each other.
Next I briefly talked to everyone during "lunch" time. I noticed that I conversations were floating openly and no words were a waste or judgmental. Even the jokes are funny because the common ground is understood, as well as the common principle which makes conversations such an ease.
As part of our communication today we sat down with all the girls and discussed the points of women and the self degrading that goes as part of the man/woman construct in society. Points that came up were anywhere from media image to children, to stereotypes about women. Then each of us said how applying the tools presented at Desteni and the self corrected application has assisted us at transcending these points into stability and no longer participation, as well as points we are still working on.
It was cool chatting with everyone because points were constantly brought up from experiences to self correction and sharing.
