gathering time
Thanks @WinniePoncelet - I will need more discipline this week! And that means not thinking I can work around one or two meetings!
On the issue of harvesting - I was enjoying reading the write up of the last Dark Mountain gathering - Base Camp. These I thought may be of use to the topics discussed in our community call:
“rich mix of talks, workshops and performance, and to the kind of alchemy that can happen when you honour the spaces that open in-between”
“There were also two sessions at the beginning and end of the weekend which involved everyone. Sunday afternoon’s was a vast mapping of all the strands in the gathering and the encounters that had taken place. Hosted by Base Camp’s session holders they were: Myths and Storytelling; Arts and Community; Seeds for the Future; Walking and Singing the Territory; Rewilding the Body, Rewilding the World; and Rethinking Society”
This seems like a fruitful exercise. How do we synthesise the collective insights in a way that is useful? Beyond recording the detail - it feels like there might be something helpful there. I’ve written to one of the organisers to ask if they can desribe this.
