Making Space

We are gathering in openness and friendship in the cabin, and that’s the environment we should try to achieve in the gathering next week. How we use food, to all be on common ground – we are all human. Within the community we have human-to-human differences as well.

Prayer, is an agreement that we are a family and a cohesive community-in-prayer. Out of town people are included in the prayer. We are welcoming you through the prayer. This makes an environment for the same purpose, the same cause.

Besides learning about these ways of setting up a space to meet in good way, from this group, I also asked permission to trial an artistic method I had been developing. I showed them a picture of a persona I had been developing, and asked their permission to return as this persona on the second day- and discuss whether the group could see possibilities for this persona to contribute to the gathering in an appropriate way.

Take a short detour and see how my persona was received when introduced to the two communities.
