+ | -Hosted by Eva DG | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

- | {{ :hosting:img_2840.jpg |}} | + | 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, |
+ | |||
+ | It's crucial to combine and expand our networks across multiple sectors, aiming to reach new people with every process we host. Infiltrating higher education and training young people in hosting craft could be a way to keep the work and community fresh and evolving. Our community/ | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||

+ | Next steps: | ||

+ | * Until the end of August, Online: Draft a description of our work for internal and external purposes (" | ||
+ | * End of August/ | ||
+ | * Beginning of October: Finalise a pitch document in English and Dutch. Post and share online. Maja to take the document to Yong Global Leaders' | ||

+ | Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen' | ||
+ | There are four formats which we want to develop: | ||
+ | * The hosting group choir: we come together on a regular basis to open up a certain garden/ | ||
+ | * We offer our singing as a choir to specific outdoor locations that serve as a beautiful concert hall. We can be booked to perform ourselves, but we can also broaden this up towards a workshop where the audience can participate as well.\\ | ||
+ | * We are asked to help and accompany a specific group perform as a choir (e.g. a company team, a group of friends, a local choir ...). This format could be described as a veriditas choir workshop.\\ | ||
+ | * We could set up a local Veriditas choir on demand. We develop a 'book of scores' | ||
+ | Singing brings the hearts together.\\ | ||

+ | First steps: | ||
+ | * perform a session at our retreat\\ | ||
+ | * visit the Oxford garden Stevie mentioned\\ | ||
+ | * Find a garden in Flanders that can act as a testing ground\\ | ||

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' | ||

+ | |||
+ | 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...</ | ||
