From the ground of our discussion and insights about shih from Chapter Four, we will now explore specific strategic practices the Sun Tzu gives us for employing it. While employing shih is a broad, general description of how to be in our world, the Sun Tzu also describes very specific applications of it.

Fran Lightsom said… - Hi Gabrielle,
I'm not looking for questions to contemplate (although I personally did find them helpful), I'm just looking for the schedule of meetings and chapters to read. It was posted at the beginning, but I can't find it any more.

I've recently joined the network. Cara Lynn suggested I contact you about our mutual interest in leadership for rural community sustainability. I understand you are running a pilot program at the Institute?
Look forward to chatting with you.

Cheri Macaulay said… - Hi Gabrielle, sorry for the delay. Got temporarily buried in a deadline. But I'm happy to report that spring arrived here in your old hometown not long after your note! Your photo of the market in Ethiopia reminds me of the souks in Oman where I lived a few years ago.
You asked what I do in Calgary. Well, I'm an artist and a community volunteer. What do you do way down there in Halifax?
