+The re-Treat (16 to 18 September) is to be a treat to ourselves, in which we will be exploring our expertises through action and experiment, thus building a treasure chest to draw from for future retreats which we will offer externally. It is to be a hands-on activity; the meta-level reflection is to be kept for the evaluation session two weeks later. This evaluation will be sculpting the re-treat into a product to sell.
+The preparation of the re-treat will happen in an online open space (hosted by Lies), and will be collectively finalized on Friday night, at the start of the retreat. Eva DG and Kathleen are taking care of finding the (physical) space to make the retreat happen.

+The session starts with summing up some elements (of opportunity): access to a vital nomad tribe in Iran (Qashqai people), whose lifestyle is nevertheless being replaced by a modern one; possibilities of an exchange of knowledge (in the domains of textile, medicine, cooking, music, autocratic life); preservation of traditional knowledge. These elements resonate with some of the key values of the hosting craft community, especially with the notions of rewilding, craft and hosting itself. They might entail different possible formats. The host proposes participative nomadic co-traveling with experts in the different domains described above.
+The session points to the permaculture principle of 'first observe, then interact'. It is concluded that the host will make a journey to and with the tribe (February-March 2017). Her observations will be documented in writings, audio recordings and photography and will be presented to the hosting craft community in the form of a lecture in September 2017.

 === Conundrums ===
-This session is meant to bring a few conundrums out in the open, without attempting to resolve them. Just let them linger in the back of our heads in the months to come… We began by bringing up a few of my pain points, using [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%ABla_(Buddhism)|Vajrakīla]], the ritual dagger //"… to bind and pin down negative energies or obscurations from the mindstream of an entity, person or thoughtform, including the thoughtform generated by a group, project and so on, to administer purification."//. During and after the session these pain points were transformed into open questions. At the end of the day Stevie and I improvised a guided reflection for voice and hurdy-gurdy (see below), looking at how to transform insights from difficult situations into deeper aspirations...
