Dear Friends of the Park

With sunny days and the beautiful environment of our sacred place, activities are growing ...
Now several different types of activities are taking place during the same weekend ...
The atmosphere is of study, or festive, with small groups or large gatherings, meeting all day or more briefly during the evenings ...

The summer will be rich in events and advances ...
And we will celebrate in the best way by entering the summer a little early, that is, on June 18th, a change of season to mark with our best wishes the establishment of our park and its irradiation toward the world.

Happy reading
The Web Team of the Park…

3rd meeting to work on the 2012 Park project

Following the progress made at the meetings in April and May, there will be a first interchange to evaluate the functioning: management, maintenance of interiors, green spaces and outdoor facilities, etc.

In a second part, the different groups will share more details about finishing the gate, the monolith, the laying of the steles, the fountain, the drains, finishing the Centre of Work, renovation and finishing the Centre of Studies, the Hall ...

The objective of this third meeting is to answer any questions that may arise and assess progress in terms of funding (see NL 3 special issue) and calendar details of these constructions.

You can download these monographs from the web site of the Park (tab monographs and other writings) or order them as e-books from the Published References tab of the site catalogue, ebooks)



June 25 and 26: Pressenza open encounter 

pressenzaPour échanger sur les expériences vécues à La Foire du Livre de To interchange about the experiences in The Book Fairs of Brussels and Paris, the Salon de la Mort (Hall of death), the revolutionary process in Tunisia and Egypt, as well as the 15M Movement, Obama’s visit to Chile, relations with other journalists, partnership contracts, students of journalism and their internships in our agency, etc. ...

To take advantage of Pia Figueroa’s (Chile) and Tony Robinson’s (Poland) presence after their participation in the Global Media Forum in Bonn.


It is also a good opportunity to shape the future of our organization, allowing us to publicize and disseminate further our projects and points of view.

This is a moment of great openings. Information from the media has lost credibility; it is too biased, taking sides with the corporations and not with the people, which causes in the latter enormous rejection. Amid this chaos of information, it is more urgent than ever to form a system of international communications, ample and independent. With clear and comprehensive content to help understand events taking place each time in a more accelerated way around us.

Participation is open and pluralistic. As much for discussing as for learning and developing our points of view and priorities, or for getting involved in the project, as writer, proof-reader, editor, translator, source, photographer , cameraman or director, correspondent, public relations, events organizer, supervisor of groups of students in training, graphic designer, IT, social networks, etc. ...

"More than at any other time, the world needs humanism."

fontaine

The fountain

The project is advancing, "millimeter by millimeter," as our Master Tailor would say, ...

First he went in search of the perfect stone, one made for OUR fountain, one that would best serve the desired symbolism  of the Yoni-Lingam and its creative and inspirational force ...
Then he had to fetch this raw material, fascinating ... and very heavy. Another quest, another adventure.
 Follow in pictures.

Finally he had to put those massive blocks in their place shaping and sculpting them. Next the oldest method (said to have been used to build the pyramids), our brave "knights" (?) did not spare any efforts ... But to be honest ... we heard them laughing their heads of f !
Stele de Carcarana

The Stele


Steles, traditionally carved in stone, were used to give testimony of significant historical events of the era in which they were erected. Examples of this are the Sumerian and Egyptian steles, or those of the Maya Indians.

In the Parks of Study and Reflection, the steles bear the names of those who helped build the park engraved on stainless steel plates.

Remember to send your details and those of people who helped, to: francois.giorgi104@gmail.com, so that your name appears on the steles.


atelier methodeDynamic Method workshop

As an initiative of the World Centre of Humanist Studies in Paris, on June 11 and 12, 30 people from different cities of France and Belgium met at the Centre of Work to study, in a practical workshop, the Structural Dynamic Method.

Several working groups have addressed different issues and were able to present to the rest of the audience their findings and syntheses.

Workshops of fire and matter


The ground Oven of one of the groups of the workshop of fire was lit. A moment among the most sacred moments!
It kept its promise and offered the amazed participants russet colours ranging from pink, purple, red, orange, yellow ... a fire that climbed to 1000 degrees ...


William’s Photos and poems about the oven

Inspired or inspirational readings ...?

Corinne demande
Every day at 10 pm, wherever  we are,
Friends of la Belle Idée
launch their Asking for inspiration
so that this project may be fulfilled.


Every Friday at 10 pm at the Park
ceremony (Office and Asking)
performed and  broadcasted via Livestream
from the site of the Park


Silo
Every Friday night, with those present at the park, we Ask for all that is dear to us: the best for our park, its establishment and its influence in the world.

And we also give continuity to what we have called "inspired readings ". Perhaps we should have said "inspiring" because these readings do inspire us so: Parmenides, Buddha’s sermons, Rumi, Novalis, the Song to the pearl, extracts of monographs and,... of course, Silo… But there are indeed "inspired readings" because those who offer the texts are "in love" and they are the ones who read them, sharing their excitement ... or their understandings  ... or their questions and insomnia ...

It is not about studying but to gently rub the antennas on the soft frequency of inspiration ...
Sometimes this funny friction sizzles ! Join us !

   Conclusions 

Dear Friends of the Park

With summer, our Park insistently evokes Lady Demeter and her great generosity, inspiring the photographers, see here, the walkers who play hide and seek with the moorhens of the pond, the guardians and all our visitors ...

The sunsets are great gigantic works of art and an excellent introduction to our evening meditations...

The month of June is busy, July will be perhaps even more, with lots of goings-on made of smoothness (ceremony and whispers of interchange) and strong dynamism (workshops of fire, retreats of the force).

Good summer to all with peace, force and joy
