What's the point?
Are you wondering, what we are doing? Well, so'm I... And that's why I can see a reason to do it.
Möte 09 has the loosest structure which I have ever experienced: collect a group of individuals, all with different skills & background and pay them to pay attention together for 9 days.
With no given structure, no time frame, no problem to solve, no product to produce, this meeting can evolve in any direction. The fact, that nothing is decided but anything is open gives responsibility to every participant - as well as a pressure to take responsibility for the process, your self and the group.
It seems that everybody is committed finding the potentials of the situation before time-out.
Structure evolves, ambitions get discussed, experiments clearyfy different potentials with and within the group and slowly I can sense where the journey will go.
I'm looking forward to see, where it will end!
Hi!
Thanks for your description of the structure, loose and free, yet demanding responsibility. I only participated in STHLM once at Weld, would have loved to be part of more meetings that I´ve seen on the web. I feel inspired by the way the meetings develope,
to move in space while communicating, developing ideas, structures of action becomes creative, constructive
learning from flocks of birds, chimpanzees while moving through their premises.. or why not from children
The balance between inward and outward movement seems to take shape in the room, as a sociospatial interaction adding life, complexity and unity
Questions I ask myself: do we know in which way we need/ use eachother? how can we permit this? Are our common beleifs expressed in the frame the meetings develope? Where does the path lead?
looking forward to next step
