FOCUS

Dornach, Switzerland
April 5-9, 2010

Not a conference. Not a report. But a fireplace where we can come and meet and do. Meeting around the fire. Working around our fireplace. What do I need so that I can grow? Crystals in the air. Crystals in the room. Crystal clear – something should be crystal clear by the end of it. A vision – a remembering – of why we all came together. Something like a commitment. Like an urgency. What’s connecting us? Focus on what connects us. My task. Our task.

Focus will start where most conferences end. From the beginning we will have the opportunity to dive right into our burning topics and themes, and of developing the necessary insight and skills to carry these themes further. At the same time, Focus is also a space for those who wish to get an overview of what is living within the network as a whole.

Welcome to the City of Focus

We imagine the Goetheanum transformed into a city where different neighbourhoods will focus on different themes (see the Groups below). These groups include: Arts (music, sculpture, painting, eurythmy and more), Sciences (ecology, sustainability, health, agriculture & biodynamics, natural sciences, colour, technology and more), The Social (social threefolding, new forms of education, campuses as places for sustainable development, economics, communication, facilitation and more), as well as Inner Life & Philosophy (inner schooling, self development, meditation, new research methods, mystery dramas, the School of Spiritual Science and more). These are only some of the existing ideas - please feel free to add more!

This website is the place to share your thoughts and resources (and to see what other people are interested in), whether you are coming to Focus or not. It is a place of 'collection' so that we are better able to build the city – the City of Focus.

Warm thank you to all - Charity Water Donation

I wanted to express my thanks to all, for the donation of your love went into the account of Charity Water. Altogether Focus meeting youth donated $82 dollars!
My target is to collect $500, and so far raised $260.
It might take few years this money would become a actual well, but surely when the projects are complete, every dollar is "proved" and photos and GPS coordinates are posted using Google Earth.
$20 will provide save water to one person for 20 years. I am…

Re-imagine Social Threefolding

Brimming with insight from my time at Focus International Forum in Dornach Switzerland last week, which culminated in the ground-shaking gathering of HeartChord Music Festival, new forms of social sculpture are present in me. New forms of collective power are emerging amongst the youth I meet. Consciousness making itself concrete.



At Focus, in a process titled ‘Re-imagine the World’…

The Future.

What excites you about the future of us?



The future is communicating globally. It's challenges lie in the tension between oneness and "twoness". Are we all part of the same picture, or is the picture outside of us? The future is presenting us with some radical decisions, bringing awareness about a choice between consciousness development and extinction. We don't just live into the future, we become aware that we have to create it, instead of rely… Continue
