Hi Kay, Thank you for the information that noon on Sept 21st is also the time set for the celebration of the International Day of Peace. Three years ago when we chose the 21st as the beginning of the Harmony Project, we were unaware of it as the International Day of Peace by the UN and for some reason, I believe that this was not designated by the UN until later, although I may well be wrong about that. I am curious though--do you by chance know when the UN made the declaration?
Our Harmony Project was specifically a calling to those who work with 'opening space and holding space' to use their special gifts to assist in holding space for opportunities for Harmony. And the challenge for those hundreds of us who are now co-facilitating the holding of this space is to do so by holding steady with emotional detachment no matter what is happening in the world and to have NO attachment to outcome, just the same as we teach with working with Open Space Technology. And that is hard, as all those of you who facilitate OST meetings that you are inclined to feel emotional about well know.

Dear Brigitt, Love the idea of holding space for harmony. Did you know that noon Sunday is also a time when the International Day of Peace is being celebrated around the world? September 21st has been designated by the UN as a day set aside for peace. Many groups are sponsoring activities around the globe from candlelight vigils to prayer services to dialogues to letterwriting. May peace prevail on earth.
