Seed Questions
- What Is /Isn’t Attunement?
- What Kind of Training in/with Attention is Needed for Growth with this Human Capacity [Attunement]?
- How might we begin to enact attunement during the Café?
- Is there a place for Misunderstanding/Dissonance within the Act of
Attunement? Does Attunement need to take Place only in the Presence of “Positive
Content” or is it Possible to give Attention with Attunement with a learned
Equanimous Sensitivity?

Context, Backstory, and Related topics
A short reflection true conversation
A quote from a article from Tricycle, entitled What It Means to Become a Peacemaker:
Modern culture often separates awareness from a feeling quality; when people think of awareness , they think about attention and thinking. However, awareness has always had a profoundly feeling and relational quality. We might call this the heart’s intelligence.
The thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi talks about the heart’s intelligence when he says, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” The heart intuits the whole, while the conceptual mind usually analyzes and divides. Love or compassion arises when awareness and its feeling quality are fused. A deep understanding of this dynamic helps us to become truly human, which means fully aware, openhearted, and engaged.
Our heart’s intelligence resonates with the field of awareness—the vast, immeasurable groundless ground of everything. By bringing the personal and the universal together, we come into balance. Then we long for suffering to subside and to make space for healing.
A deep bow to Michael Stumpf, for his fine-attuning methods laid upon this Café.
