B. Doyle has been in the practice five years and mentors in it. Here he describes a session from the first minute, without names, and answers five more questions about the work itself.
B. Doyle describes a session, without names. He answers questions about what students most want from a mentor and will not be given, the commonest mistake of the first year, and what the machine looks like in an ordinary week, amongst others.
* Describe a session with a student. What happens in it, in order?
* What do students most often want from you that you will not give them?
* What is the most common mistake in the first year?
* What does seeing the machine look like in an ordinary week, in the shopping, the marriage, the job?
* What happens to a student who stops? Do you hear from them again?
* Where does the Exercise Manual earn its place, and where do students try to skip it?
B. Doyle covers the practice journal, where Spinoza’s Ethics comes into a session, and the doorknob exercise.
Book a free introductory session with B. Doyle here and make sure to mention his name in the comments asking you to share anything that will help prepare for our meeting.:
The Exercise Manuals B. describes here are available as spiral-bound books. There are three, working through sensing and observation, then understanding of yourself, then yourself among other people. They are used alongside mentoring but stand on their own. $180 each, or $300 for all three, postage included.
