[Oe List ...] Loss of a Great Global Colleague

[Tracy E. Longacre]

Lela,

 

Thanks for letting us know of Jon's passing. What a shock. My condolences to
Maureen and Michael and all of Jon's colleagues. He was, indeed, a great
Spirit man.

It is with the saddest of hearts I regret to inform my colleagues of the
sudden unexpected death of Jon Jenkins. 

I received a telephone call a couple hours ago from Maureen, who is visiting
family in Boston this week, advising that she had just learned the tragic
news that Jon died at their home in the Netherlands, apparently from natural
causes. Maureen will be flying back to the Netherlands tomorrow with her son
Michael.

For those of you who have not seen Jon in many years or perhaps knew of his
work but had never met him, here is a picture of Jon and his bio from their
website.  <http://www.9disciplines.com/imaginal/index1.php?id=141>

Don and I had the great pleasure of spending last Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day with Jon, Maureen and their son Jean Paul in San Francisco. 

Jon was a great Spirit Man. He had traveled the world for over 40 years
enabling other people in many walks of life to experience what it meant to
be on the Journey. He will be greatly missed.

Grace and Peace,

Lela Jahn
