Picking up Ewan’s ppp*** practice

Before I had time to unpack my bags I was facilitating an event in Lisbon. While I had thought I would use some of the tools and tricks I might picked up over the last couple of days, I didn’t.

I have, however, as one participant pointed out, integrated a new piece of language into my repertoire of practices: it’s a sort of ppp*** sound that indicates I’ve finished my point.

That made me think of the success of learning at a community event – it’s as much about the way your trajectory of being is shifted as you (often) unknowingly adopt other people’s mannerisms and practices as it is about absorbing or collecting information and stuff.
