World Retreat Symposium 2017 7th - 14th of May in Italy
We Are All Co-Creators of The New Renaissance! This first World Retreat Symposium will be facilitated around some of the major challenges and opportunities we as individuals and society are facing. We are also open for what freely emerges in an open, intuitive and co-creative space. 1. Sharing our individual experiences, thoughts and visions related to the emerging universal worldview: A. What is our personal calling/vision/purpose regarding the challenges we want to solve B. What is the potential for co-creation and co-working by utilizing Sutra and other technological platforms/tools C. How to create a network of virtual and physical teams, centers and communities in Europe and globally 2. Collaborating on ”A New Shape”, an international competition (initiated by Global Challenges Foundation). ”A New Shape” is an excellent description of many of the same challenges and opportunities we want to deal with in GRS. It will further us in exploring and concretizing the answers and solutions we are searching for. We encourage all to read the full documentation to be prepared. This competition is a quest to find new models of global cooperation capable of handling global risks. It will award US$5 million in prizes for the best ideas that re-envision global governance for the 21st century. Read the criteria here…
3. Supporting how each one of us can contribute on the practical level either as: a) participants in the “A New Shape” competition representing GRS (national teams and communities in a global ecosystem as our design of a self-organizing decision-making system/ governance of creativity (micro ecosystems ”cloned” and up-scaled to macro level) b) independent participants in the competition (everyone can participate based on each one’s specific interests/purpose) c) contributors to the solving of the challenges described in ”A New Shape” (without taking active part in the competition) d) showings of potential properties for the future Global Renaissance Heart Center (for those interested) / discussing required facilities and strategies for a network of interlinked creative communities / centers
4. La Dolce Vita: Retreat/excursion(s) and socializing Salute your creative genius! This can very well be a start of an amazing journey! Knut, Harriet, Renate J

Preliminary Program Monday 8th – Wednesday 10th Time to relax, socialize, work together, go to see possible places for the Heart Center. Thursday – Sunday An intensive 4 day co-creative process workshop. The co-creative process is addressing the overall questions: How to find your purpose in the new Renaissance and how to possibly co-create GRS as a shared purpose? We will start on Thursday with an orientation to the global challenges ”A New Shape” competition GRS wants to respond to, to discuss the universal worldview as foundation for a new sustainable society and global governance, and how GRS as an eco-system supports societal innovation. Then we dive into a joint WE-co-creative space to sense and listen in to what questions are guiding us in the moment envisioning the whole and receiving the necessary knowing from the collective intelligence. On Friday after closing the WE-co-creative space by lunch, we open the I-space to work on the individual purposes. Saturday offers us a day for celebrating our purposes as Renaissance Beings, allowing ourselves to be liberated to embrace our true callings. A Renaissance Party will be arranged in the evening. Sunday offers a WE-space to feel and envision possible future collaborations (in GRS or/and as contributors to the ”A New Shape” competition). The Symposium official program will end on Sunday May 14 at 4 pm. Please give us feedback, and we will come back with more details and final program.
