the Harmony Project celebrating its 3rd anniversary of holding space for ...

[Chris Corrigan]

Hi Birgitt:

In 1981, the UN declared its opening day session in September to be the
day of peace.  In 2001, they decided that starting in 2002, September 21
would be the day.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Kay,
Thank you for the information that noon on Sept 21st is also the time
set for the celebration of the International Day of Peace. Three years
ago when we chose the 21st as the beginning of the Harmony Project, we
were unaware of it as the International Day of Peace by the UN and for
some reason, I believe that this was not designated by the UN until
later, although I may well be wrong about that. I am curious though--do
you by chance know when the UN made the declaration?

Our Harmony Project was specifically a calling to those who work with
'opening space and holding space' to use their special gifts to assist
in holding space for opportunities for Harmony. And the challenge for
those hundreds of us who are now co-facilitating the holding of this
space is to do so by holding steady with emotional detachment no matter
what is happening in the world and to have NO attachment to outcome,
just the same as we teach with working with Open Space Technology. And
that is hard, as all those of you who facilitate OST meetings that you
are inclined to feel emotional about well know.

Blessings to you and to all with whom you make Genuine Contact,
Birgitt

Dear Brigitt,
Love the idea of holding space for harmony. Did you know that noon
Sunday is also a time when the International Day of Peace is being
celebrated around the world? September 21st has been designated by the
UN as a day set aside for peace. Many groups are sponsoring activities
around the globe from candlelight vigils to prayer services to dialogues
to letterwriting. May peace prevail on earth.
Blessings,
Kay Lindahl
