Music

By Invitation

Release
2009

By Invitation is a collection of stories about opening ourselves to relationship and active collaboration with others. Our earlier focus was intensely introspective as we intentionally suspended nearly all external interactions to look more deeply into our relationship and into ourselves. We wanted to be on solid ground before re-engaging with the world. The process, of course, has taken many more years than we ever imagined—a gradual unfolding for us with false starts and shifts in our direction along the way.

At this particular time, however, we feel a stirring within that is different—perhaps signaling a readiness to open even further into forging alliances. We are willing to release tight controls on our work, inviting others to participate and co-create.

It is a time of open engagement as we shift from passive participation to actively extend and accept invitations with others—a time of spontaneity and surprising possibilities.

Dedication

We dedicate these stories to those who have invited us into their lives, and those who’ve accepted our invitation to join in co-creative dances. Whether our interactions have lasted hours or years, we have found the positive energy they generate to be utterly inspiring and contagious.
