‘Well Gatherings’: new weekly Yijing video chats

‘Well Gatherings’: new weekly Yijing video chats

It seems like a good time to provide another way for people to connect and help one another with/through Yijing readings. So I’ll be hosting ‘Well Gatherings’ – an hour of chat and sharing readings – via Zoom each Monday for the next month or so.

Who it’s for

Normally, meetings like this are just for Change Circle members, but these are for everyone in Change Circle or WikiWing. That way we limit it to people who are genuinely interested in the Yi (probably a good idea in these days of ‘Zoombombing’) but cost won’t be a barrier. If you’d like to join but are short of funds, just sign up for WikiWing and I’ll email you the link on the day.

When

Mondays at 6pm UK time, starting next week on April 6th. Click here to see what that is in your own timezone. I don’t know how long the calls will continue for, but at least until the end of April.

Where

Zoom video chat. A month ago I’d have needed to explain what that is… probably not so much now, right? I’ve been using it for classes since before they were famous; it works beautifully and is nice and easy to use.

I’ll email the room link to WikiWing and Change Circle members each Monday.

To share a reading

(Only if you’re definitely coming to the next call, please!)

See this forum thread for what to post, and add a link!


These are called ‘Well Gatherings’ because of Yi’s answer when I asked, ‘What about this idea?’ – Hexagram 48 line 6, changing to 57:

‘The well gathers,
Don’t cover it.
There is truth and confidence,
Good fortune from the source.’

The need for Hexagram 12

The need for Hexagram 12

Hexagram 12 is called Pi 否 – Blocked, Standstill, Stasis, Negation. It encapsulates the experience of being denied and stymied. The noble one’s constancy bears no fruit: despite your best, most creative efforts, it just isn’t happening. The Sequence into this one is (as so often) quite enigmatic: ‘Things cannot end with flowing together, and… Continue Reading

Staying connected

Staying connected

Divination means we’re connected. It demonstrates that there’s no such thing as ‘isolation’: the cosmos has 100% uptime. You can toss three coins six times, any time, to experience its absolute connectivity. Yi’s connection works, as it always has, through imagery. It doesn’t just talk (though it certainly does that, too): it shows. Imagery is… Continue Reading

The importance of the question

The importance of the question

I’ve mentioned this before, and no doubt will again… the question you ask the Yi matters. It’s important to understand that this isn’t about choosing the right wording for your question. The words really don’t matter. ‘Argh – help!’ can be a perfectly-formed question for the Oracle, leading to a perfectly helpful conversation, provided you… Continue Reading

March 22nd: ‘Connecting with Imagery’ Workshop

March 22nd: ‘Connecting with Imagery’ Workshop

Consulting the I Ching? You will need… to know what you’re asking a sense of how the parts of a reading fit together, and to be able to get inside the oracle’s imagery. If you’re missing any of these, you’ll tend to get stuck and frustrated at some point – but anyone who’s missing #3,… Continue Reading
