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

Mon Sep 22 10:26:53 PDT 2003

Thanks Chris. Whether knowingly or unknowingly they tied it into the rich
history from the beginning of human history of the solstice celebrations.
But I still wonder if our Harmony Project was of a little influence in the
choice of date. We will never know, just as with OST meetings, we never know
all of the outcomes that happen.

So...I choose to be and do as IF we can make this kind of difference in the
world. Because what if it is true.....

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

  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.

  More here:  http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/peace/

  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,
