In times of crisis,
when hate spreads,
Love keeps us together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As on the previous occasion, they sent us the coordinates: latitude 40.631653, longitude -3.153173. Identical codes, same process, with just a few conditions: an open mind, comfortable clothing, and hearts set to the right time. If only there were a way to set hearts to the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The time agreed, the place too. We were all at the entrance. There was no shortage of hugs, laughter, kisses, nerves... Almost weightless, isolated in that ship, apart, we felt again that we had everything. Them again, the same people. Another strange encounter with strangers whom you had started to love relatively recently and from whom you never wanted to be separated again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pi, 3.14159\u2026 I love the number Pi. It\u2019s always been with me and I think it has even understood me. As in the previous mission, we reconfigured ourselves as a circle. Hand in hand, eye contact, a single form. We once again formed as a group. And that was felt. Each connection transmitted an energy that flowed without limitations: free, serene, beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In times of crisis,
when individualism makes its way,
Being together is our only option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The previous mission took us through. We moved from 'I' to 'we'. We became aware that we are not alone and that anything is possible when working together. But building a group is not without its risks. In fact, it is fraught with them. Maintaining a constant rhythm isn't easy, balancing expectations so that no one disconnects or derails. We are aware that we are a social experiment, that we must allow ourselves to make mistakes, that we need to try, evaluate, stretch ourselves, retreat, grow, and then return to a zone of calm to reflect and process our feelings. Isn't life itself an experiment? What is the universe, if not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And of course we will talk about you. We are not afraid of you. There were like memories in the air, images that hijacked our minds at specific moments. Each person their own. Throughout all the days of the mission we were together, we felt them very close. Not just those days, they have accompanied us all our lives. It seemed like they were hidden, but we had them in front of us, behind us, deep inside: our fears. As activators of change, we must face them, overcome them, look them in the eye, and learn to live with them. Some, as I was saying, are old friends, others have appeared recently out of nowhere. There is time, we must allow ourselves to have time, and little by little emerge from those dark zones that do not let us share our potential, that do not let us shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As in the previous mission, we began this second seminar by leaping into the abyss; this time knowing what the abyss was, knowing that there is a way out through self-exploration. Feeling that we are not alone, that a network of care protects and embraces us, and helps us grow as individuals and as a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We closed as we began, with the circle. Singing, dancing, laughing, crying with happiness\u2026 The sky was ours and no one could take it away from us. Each star, a cause to keep fighting for. Each glimmer of light, a path to tread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As on the previous mission, we emerged strengthened as a group, and keen for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no crisis times.
Let's face the challenges, let's embrace the change,
Let's toast to hope.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
