SUMMARY:France - Ariège- Community Building Experience (inc sociocracy in practice)
DESCRIPTION:Transformative 10 to 13-day experience on how to communicate\, work and live in harmony with others. \nAre you thinking of creating an eco-village or an intentional community? Are you already working in a community or collaborative project? or maybe you are looking to create a community project but are not sure:\n– How to begin\n– How to find the right people\n– How to keep people together in harmony\n– How to have fun in the process! \nAmazing projects failing to go the distance is a well-recognized pattern\, and as you may have already experienced\, it is usually due to lack of cohesion between people and a clear shared vision. \nBut there are also well-recognized patterns\, and plenty of community tools which do allow projects to last… and we are excited to share these with you all. The core part of the experience is about sharing tools that help us to communicate\, problem-solve and bond. We will learn various tools\, experience the tools\, build our temporary community\, and make sure everyone who wants to facilitate using these tools gets the opportunity to do so. \nIf you are looking to work better within your community\, whatever that may be\, this course is not to be missed.\nTo secure your place email rakeshaji@gmail.com \n=== DATES ===\n18th October 2019: Arrive by 6 pm for our first meal\n19th to 26th 8 full days community building experience\n19th and 20th October: Two-day introduction to collaborative decision making (sociocracy)\n27th October 2019: Closing circle and departures\n28th to 30th October: Optional extra open space sessions (explained below) \nNB: If you can arrive early on 18th and are prepared to do some hard work to set up the place\, please let us know. We will most likely need some help to make a kitchen and prepare an outdoor teaching space. \n=== WHAT TO EXPECT === \nThis will be a unique experience. For the duration of this experience\, we will look at what causes projects to fail\, so we can learn to spot potential pitfalls\, we will then not only learn\, but actively put into practice the patterns and tools that allow projects and communities to succeed. \nYou will walk away knowing that it is possible to live and work in harmony with other people. You will have knowledge of a rich set of tools and have experienced using them in a collective setting\, as we form a community that works out how to live together in harmony. \nCollaborative decision making forms the basis of how we will work together hence the first 2 days of this experience will be focused on learning and using an invaluable community decision-making tool called sociocracy (also known as Dynamic governance). Sociocracy has 95 years of experience in allowing individuals needs to be heard and used to form a cohesive project with actions that every person consents to. \nFor people who cannot make the whole experience\, you can attend the first 2 days on sociocracy as a stand-alone course (more information on sociocracy is provided at the end). We will also have a few other days which will be open to the public especially during the weekends. \nFor the remaining days\, we will use sociocracy to make decisions including how we structuring our time together to meet everyone’s needs and encourage everyone to share their gifts for the benefit of all. \nSuggested structure of our days (open to discussion and re-design): Before lunch\, we will present various tools related to community building combined with activities. After lunch\, we will have a mix of whatever subjects you want\, which could include\, design work\, hands-on activities\, or other community-building tools. \nThe venue wants to be converted to a forest school and a small community where people can live all year in abundance\, using permaculture and forest gardening design. So if we all agree we can collectively design and implement parts of this exciting transition. \nThe following are some examples of the community tools we can explore together over the 8 remaining days after the sociocracy course.\n• Thriving in a community (how to identify successful patterns for communal living and working\, and associated tools)\n• Dragon dreaming (how to create outrageously successful community projects)\n• Six thinking hats (good communication skills)\n• Forming storming\, norming\, performing (patterns of healthy human relationships)\n• Spirals of abundance (how to create abundance in relationships)\n• The work that reconnects (replacing activist burnout with creative solutions to achieve your activist goals)\n• Prama (how to create physical\, mental and spiritual balance individually and in a community)\n. Forum (a tool for communities to deeply share and better understand each other)\n. Hero’s journey (Using patterns which are common to all hero stories so we can understand our personal hero’s journey) \nAs we find out our needs\, more exciting and useful community-building tools will emerge\, so the above list is by no means complete. \nWe would also like to propose that we collaboratively design and implement a permaculture design of the venue\, so we leave a legacy behind. We can also implement some small physical structures such as an outdoor kitchen\, a Biochar burner\, a compost toilet\, raised beds or anything that we dream of and consent to build (we could build more than one thing if that is what we consent to). \n=== COST === \nThe amount for the teacher is by donation. Suggest between €150 and €500 for the 10 to 13 days. Average €300 would be welcomed. \nFood is organized by the participants so bring enough ingredients for the first 3 days\, thereafter we will decide using collaborative decision making. Typically this works out to be €4 or €5 per day\, but that depends on what everyone decides to buy. Ultimately you choose as you are part of the community. \n=== VENUE & ACCOMMODATION === \nCamping option\nCamping is €50 for the 10 days (see below for optional open space days). \nDormitory\nDormitory accommodation will be €100 for the 10 days. This includes bed sheets\, pillows\, etc\, which will be changed once a week (see below for optional open space days). \nDouble private room\nThere is one private room with a double bed and a private shower. Cost for one person taking this room is €150 for 10 days\, or €250 for a couple for the 10 days (see below for optional open space days). \nOpen space days\nThe accommodation costs for the additional open space days is €5 per day for camping\, €10 for dorm\, €15 or €25 for the private room. However\, if you exclusively work on helping transform the venue this can be significantly reduced. \n=== WHO WILL BE FACILITATING THIS EXPERIENCE === \nRakesh is an experienced low impact living designer and teacher from the UK\, specializing in community resilience\, permaculture\, creating food forests and low maintenance food growing systems. He has worked as an advisor to several community projects in London and throughout Europe and has taught in many countries around the world. Rakesh has turned his dyslexia to his advantage by developing talent for observation and hands-on learning and teaching methods. At a young age\, he established a successful computer consultancy and\, after achieving financial independence\, acquired skills as a homeopath and yoga teacher which he put to use in Ananda Marga humanitarian relief projects in Africa\, Asia\, and Eastern Europe. Along with Permaculture Rakesh focuses on the human skills of communication and planning so necessary for successful communities.\nWebsite: www.ecologicaldesigns.co.uk \n=== FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS COMMUNITY COURSES FACILITATED BY RAKESH === \n“You have given me a massive gift\, a gift of new lessons\, of deep connections\, of sharing love and you have given me new vision – both massively inspiring and also deeply challenging. I leave here feeling ever inspired to keep growing and expanding and I know I am only one of many who have left feeling this way after learning from you.” Talia \n“Thanks a lot for all this knowledge and experience. It was so great to learn from you and go deeper into the topic of communities” Jesika \n“A great journey of learning and collaboration. This was an incredible highlight for me and such a transformative experience. Thank you for taking me along on the journey. I am eager for more!” Stef \n“Our community experienced a transformative\, deeply moving group journey under your guidance. You were in so many ways our guardian. Thank you for your honesty and commitment to enable the group and each of us individually. “ Rebecca \n=== WHAT IS SOCIOCRACY === \nSociocracy was developed as a new method of governing businesses\, but it has also been adopted in many different kinds of public\, private\, non-profit\, and community organizations as well as in professional associations. \nConsent\, as defined and practiced in sociocratic organizations\, is claimed to be a more efficient and effective decision-making method than autocratic decision-making because it protects the ability of each member and unit of an organization to work toward the aim effectively. In the end\, this decision-making method builds trust and understanding\, even though its objective is to reduce friction and facilitate effective action. The consent process educates the participants about the needs of the other members in doing their work effectively. \nThe well-defined\, information-based\, and highly disciplined decision-making process helps organizations stay focused and move swiftly through examining an issue and making decisions. The feedback structure between circles and the involvement of all members of the organization in the policymaking process ensures a united organization. \nSociocratic principles are now applied around the world in corporations\, small businesses\, nursing homes\, colleges\, ecovillages\, and cohousing communities\, religious organizations\, private schools\, and international professional and educational membership organizations. \n==== REGISTRATION ==== \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfc2jUJ5nJhytLkg_NY1MHusH4w5F6I2Llm9P7qplFBALtzqw/viewform \n===== CONTACTS ==== \nFor more info on the content please contact\nRakesh Email: rakeshaji@gmail.com (English only) \nFor more info on the venue\, contact\nContact (français) pour les infos sur le lieu de stage\nCéline : 07 67 32 27 31 ;\nMail : pinkmarmelade@icloud.com ;\nFb : Cé Line

SUMMARY:KIIRTAN HOUR 2019©
DESCRIPTION:KIIRTAN HOUR 2019 © 20TH OCTOBER 2019 ***\nDue to the freedom of this event\, signing up is optional and of course always welcome!\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2374514419442948/\nALL ARE WELCOME TO THIS FREE AND NON-DENOMINATIONAL EVENT\, KIIRTAN HOUR 2019© (3)\nPURPOSE\nKiirtan Hour 2019 © has one purpose and that is to create a space where all of us can come together and experience that which binds us together\, by creating a feeling of unconditional love and also by increasing our awareness of how we\, and all others are part of the creation – part of the One.\nWherever we are\, and recognising our differences\, we acknowledge that we all belong to the universal family.\nFor 15 minutes we are mutually invited to our family gathering as we sing and receive the blessing of BABA NAM KEVALAM and to feel peace in our hearts.\n***For a few people the event will be on the 21st October 2019 because we will all sing the same mantra\, BABA NAM KEVALAM\, and the same melody\, at exactly the same time\, for 15 minutes around the globe.\nSee here for your local time – note: time in Paris\, France is 20th October from 14.00 until 14.15\nhttps://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Kiirtan+Hour+2019%C2%A9%40Kiirtan+for+Peace+and+All+Round+Prosperity&iso=20191020T14&p1=195&am=15&fbclid=IwAR1l1Igb7EZJY2wqzrx4n2v0vUbvwDlk1NY0V_s69bLx8qlZCWhxdFca-vw\nHOW TO TAKE PART?\nEveryone can join in wherever they are\, alone or with friends. Everyone who takes part will enjoy a unique experience. After the event is finished one may\, for example\, take some time for meditation or contemplation or for singing more kiirtan or spiritual songs of your choice.\nBABA NAM KEVALAM – THE UNIVERSAL MANTRA (1\,2)\nTHE MEANING OF THIS UNIVERSAL MANTRA\, BABA NAM KEVALAM\, IS\, “ONLY THE DIVINE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IN ALL PLACES\, PERMEATING ALL BEINGS AND ALL THINGS TO INFINITY.”\nThe power of such a vibrated mantra\, sung at exactly the same time\, to exactly the same melody\, helps us to connect to our own deeper selves and to recognise the Divine heritage we share with one another. Vibration automatically connects to wherever else that same vibration is being created. In other words when we sing Baba Nam Kevalam to the same melody and in the same key\, in Reykjavík in Iceland\, we automatically connect to those singing the same mantra and melody in Malta\, in Croatia\, Syria\, South Africa\, California\, Tiljala in India and so on.\nSo even if we sing alone\, we are lovingly connected to all others also singing with us\, in complete Unconditional Love.\n\n\n \nBABA NAM KEVALAM\n\n\nUNCONDITIONAL LOVE creates such a powerful heart connection that all thoughts of war disappear from our minds. This increased awareness of being a part of each other\, nurtures our desire to be part of One Created Family\, taking care of each other in a selfless manner\, to the mutual benefit and joy of all.\n\n\n \nOUR ANIMAL FRIENDS \n\n\nThis year we are dedicating Kiirtan Hour 2019©@Kiirtan for Peace and All Round Prosperity© to all our animal friends.\nKiirtan Hour 2019© expands our awareness and the “family ties” we all share with one another\, all around the globe. We want to include our animal friends. In this way we increase the radius of love we share and the knowledge\, that all life is Divine. We begin to understand true peace and harmony within our own hearts\, and then with all forms of life on our beautiful planet.\nOUR 2019 KIIRTAN MELODY\nThis is our kiirtan melody for 2019.\nOur sincere thanks to Ramón Rainjan Sosa in Brazil for the free use of his kiirtan melody as the 2019 choice for Kiirtan Hour2019©\nRamón Rainjan Sosa\n\n\n\n  \nGUITAR CHORDS FOR THIS KIIRTAN. THE MANTRA IS BABA NAM KEVALAM. \n\n\n\nCuerdas de guitarra – Guitarra tuned in 432 \nG – D – Em – C – G – D – C – D × 2. —— Em – C – G – D – Em – C – G – D – C – D – G . Start from the begining.

If you are interested have a look at our charter below and see if it suits for you. We also welcome any questions or suggestions you may have. You can contact us by leaving a comment\, or in a private message to the facilitator Fiola Kidd\nCHARTER:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/notes/kiirtan-for-peace-and-all-round-prosperity/charter-for-kiirtan-hour-/2184311535149155/\nGIVING\nOur event is free and open for everyone\, including our animal friends! We know that there are those who would like to\, and also have the means\, to make a financial contribution. We may suggest a charity for that purpose. However please feel free to donate to one of the rescue groups we highlight on our community page or to an animal charity of your choice.\nWe support farms that work ecologically and humanely with their animals.\nDEMAND INTEGRITY IN FARM WORKERS:\nBY\nDEMANDING INTEGRITY FROM OUR POLITICIANS – ask your local and national politicians which laws they will implement AND follow up\, to ensure animal welfare and transparency for all.\nFinally we want to address the horrific animal cruelty committed by certain practises and also by certain cruel persons who have been allowed to work with animals.”\n\n\n \nBABA NAM KEVALAM\n\n\n“It is only with the heart that one can see clearly\,\nWhat is essential is invisible to the eye”\nAntoine de Saint-Exupéry\n\n\n\n \nBABA NAM KEVALAM\n\n\nACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS SO BE “GREAT BY YOUR SADHANA\, SERVICE AND SACRIFICE” P.R.Sarkar\nSadhana means nourishing our soul and honouring the sacredness of our life.\nDO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING?\nHumanity\, composed by those who have human bodies\, is a very diverse group of beings.\nWe can read about those who give their all for their fellow human beings\, and indeed for the benevolent care towards our animal family and the health of our planet.\nHowever we also read about those who honour no moral fabric and where exploitation and their own questionable “needs” are all that matter to them.\nIf we believe that we live several lives\, and also the scientific theory on evolution (4)\, i.e.that we evolved from animals\, is it possible to conceive that some individuals\, although having a human body\, may be limited in their ability to respond to life events.\nSimilarly\, could there be animals\, exposed to a caring human environment who develop personas and behaviours\, normally associated with the more developed and complicated species of the human being? (5)\nIs their a “sliding scale” in the evolution of life?\nWe don’t expect an individual with no legs to walk. Why would we expect a morally deficient being to behave with moral integrity?\nN.B. The less knowledge a person has or is capable of understanding\, the more that person is susceptible to manipulation by those who have chosen to use their abilities in a morally depraved and society-subversive manner. (6)\nDO WE HAVE A MORAL DUTY?\n“Democracy can be successful only where the following essential factors are present at least amongst 51% of the voters\, Morality\, Literacy and Socio-Economic-Political Consciousness.\nOtherwise it is an instrument to befool the public.” P.R. Sarkar\, Propounder of Progressive Utilization Theory (7)\nWe live on the razor’s edge of our own tendencies. While we may wish to live a “good” life\, that desire is constantly challenged by our own personalities and numerous temptations\, fears and uncertainties. We can take comfort in the knowledge that it is through meeting and rising above those temptations\, we grow and develop as human beings.\nLIFE IS A DYNAMIC FLOW – Sarker\nThat dynamism is a part of life.\nIt falls on all of us to contribute\, according to our ability\, to society. Therefore the more aware we are\, the more we must be the “saviours” of our own society. While those who are easily manipulated become the prey of the morally depraved\, it is really important not to only sit on the sidelines complaining about the state of society.\nWhile on this journey through a seemingly complex bombardment of information on how we “should” live\, the onus is on each of us individually to increase our awareness\, to “own” our life and behaviours\, and depending on the environment in which we find ourselves\, to ” stand up and be counted”. It may take courage to do that among our peers. It is well to remember that courage begets courage and can shine a light into the dark corners of our society.\nKiirtan Hour 2019©@Kiirtan for Peace and All Round Prosperity© invites all to join in this event\n\n\n\n \nBABA NAM\, BABA NAM\, BABA NAM KEVALAM\n\n\n\n\n\n(1) https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/6888/baba-nam-kevalam\n(2) https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/4950/mantra\n(3) Kiirtan/Kirtan https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/5452/kirtan (4) https://www.infoplease.com/science-health/life-science/human-evolution (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response (6) By society is meant a group of people moving progressively together towards a mutually beneficial and benevolent goal.
