Spaces Update: Notes From Our January Meeting

Last Friday was our third meeting of the Founders team at The Creation Experiment. Although we had two apologies for absence, another great day was enjoyed by all who could attend and we welcome two new Founders, Sharon & Carole. Both made their presence felt immediately as a force for good.
The morning is always a round-up for the Founders personally, ten minutes to talk about what we have manifested and how we would like to tweak that. Being the first meeting of 2010 we were all concerned with the top three things we would like to create in this brand new year.
After lunch we moved on to discuss our mission. We got closer to creating our first space by discussing a particular space one of us may have available to offer to TCE and working out a list of things we would need to make this space ready. It was rather a long list and we are therefore still in discussion about whether or not this is the right place for us to start.
We want our spaces to be a soft place to fall for those in need of respite, a break, a breather and so we want the spaces to be fit for purpose. Comfy and calming. Warm and supportive.
Our other, perhaps better, idea was to create a website called Donate-A-Space where we would invite people with space in their homes, or holiday homes, or second homes to offer them up for those in need and TCE would be the intermediary which facilitates that.
We have called for a volunteer to donate the website and been lucky to secure that. It will be a one page site which sets out our mission, is linked to our existing site, and invites people with spaces to let us know about them. Its a start.
Its suprisingly difficult to get a team of a dozen women to agree on how this will work, except we all know it will because our intention is aligned.
It’s also difficult to resist rushing in and fixing up the first space and just getting on with it, rather than manifesting what we bring it to fruition. We are noticing that for now.
This is, above all, an experiment and we are only just getting stuck in. We are excited to see what will unfold.
