Hello friends and collegues. Sorry for any cross posting - but you are so welcome......hope to see some of you there.....
greetings - toke ********* We invite you to Castle Borl in Slovenia, July 6-13, 2002 The Village Is Gathering The Thought of Something Else A spring wind blowing the smell of the ground through the intersections of traffic, the mind turns, seeks a new nativity -- another place, simpler, less weighted by what has already been. Another place! it's enough to grieve me -- that old dream of going, of becoming a better [wo]man just by getting up and going to a better place. The mystery. The old unaccountable unfolding. The iron trees in the park suddenly remember forests. It becomes possible to think of going. -- a place where thought can take its shape as quietly in the mind, as water in a pitcher, or a [wo]man can be safely without thought -- see the day begin and lean back, a simple wakefulness filling perfectly the spaces among the leaves. - Wendell Berry Come and dwell in the village of Castle Borl. Come and join us as we taste the Future together. Come and connect with fellow villagers, travellers, wanderers and dreamers of the world. Come and live the world we want now. Bring your gifts, share your learning, share your wares, receive what you need. Come dwell in the village to improve your practice and to replenish yourself. As hosts of this gathering we invite you to come into this Open Space to co-create your own and others' learning. Come explore with us the questions: "What do we need, and want to create, to live a life-affirming future NOW?" "What is the potential that is trying to emerge through our networking and networks?" To help you join this co-creative flow, we have included our design principles below. We hope you will join us! Design Principles 1. To make it possible for everyone's voice to be heard, and their offering and contribution to be received. 2. To call forth inspiration and emergence not just products and plans 3. To experiment with how to compose and co-create. 4. To be able to use what we have learned in our lives. 5. We are all peers; we are all here to learn and take shared responsibility for the village to work at all levels. 6. Periods of rest contribute to the quality of our work. 7. Whoever comes is the right people 8. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened 9. Whenever it starts it is the right time. 10. When it is over, it is over ! 11. The law of two feet - if you at any point are not able to learn or contribute something where you are - use your feet to go where you will learn and contribute. We look forward to seeing many of you for what will surely be an extraordinary experience, Zoë Nicholson, Una Nicholson, Toke Møller, Alenka Zavasnik, Sabina Sneider, Daniel Hinz, Marta Bozic, Bob Stilger, Tatiana Glad, Tim Merry, Natalka Chickova, From the Four Directions, IDRIART, Pioneers of Change *** Apologies for cross-postings! *** Details Dates: Saturday 6 July, 4 pm - Friday 12 July evening (departure day Saturday 13 July) On the evening of July 6 we are invited to experience the Sibelius Violin Concerto with Miha Pogacnik (violin) and members of Slovenian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
