+ | The re-Treat (16 to 18 September) is to be a treat to ourselves, in which we will be exploring our expertises through action and experiment, thus building a treasure chest to draw from for future retreats which we will offer externally. It is to be a hands-on activity; the meta-level reflection is to be kept for the evaluation session two weeks later. This evaluation will be sculpting the re-treat into a product to sell. | ||
+ | The preparation of the re-treat will happen in an online open space (hosted by Lies), and will be collectively finalized on Friday night, at the start of the retreat. Eva DG and Kathleen are taking care of finding the (physical) space to make the retreat happen. | ||

+ | From the discussion with Kathleen, we agreed that positioning of our work and community will be essential for success. There is quite a bit of competition, | ||

+ | We have to work on clarifying our goal: why, what, how? We are on the right track, but need to better clarify our unique identity. I we succeed, our work would be recognisable as having a unique hosting culture. Our work would be known and sought for in- and beyond Belgium, and we would see the ' | ||

+ | Our intuition tells us that there is potential in this work, an interesting niche (hosting by combining approaches from the creative fields, business, science, etc.). To resolve the issues with "time and money" we have to build strong links between our individual work and what the community does, so that they re-enforce each other in positive feedback loops. Personal and professional development of each of the members will feed the development of the community itself. | ||

+ | * How can we be available, committed, reliable and punctual, so that we can enjoy "being and doing" together? So that the logistics and co-ordination tasks can be evenly and effectively distributed and exchanged, while also having time to socialise, celebrate and relax, i.e. enjoy each others' | ||

+ | Begin turning outwards... Look at the difficult situation again, and you in it. What does this situation want to teach you? What can you take from it on your life's path? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let's look at this path for a while... Your life... What if you had only a year to live? A month? A day? An hour? Just a few moments? What would really matter? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Slowly come back to the here-and-now. Look around you. Remind yourself how precious it is to be alive, no matter if it's for a few moments or many decades... How does it feel to be grateful for being alive? Let everything else fade into the background, as sound gradually fades into silence...</ | ||
