If you want to bring others with you - friends, family, children, colleagues, acquaintances  - you are more than welcome... just let us know how many (and who) you are bringing along. Numbers are limited due to the capacity of the venue.

​Getting to the gathering (click for more): The venue is approximately 50 km from Bergamo or Milano. We will communicate more information about getting to and from the venue and potential transfers as numbers of people are emerging and plans become clearer.
 
Cost and contributing (click for more): There is no cost to participate. The costs associated with the venue, accommodation, and some meals for the weekend will be covered as part of the invitation. We would very much appreciate any contributions towards this – if or how much you give is entirely up to you – which can be done during the weekend or in advance. Ask for any more details.

​At iKLEKTIK we are always open to different kinds of exchange - so if you have ideas for that, also let us know.

Who:
This invitation is coming from Delfino, Daniel and Chris who have imagined a gathering.
The hope is that whoever feels invited to gather in October will also join together (before, during and after)
in co-creating a space for exploring within the theme of
‘being and belonging’

…in encouraging an opening of mind, heart and soul space,
we wish to co-create and engage in a meaningful experience
for (and beyond) us all
 
What:
There is no set agenda for the gathering…
We hope the ‘what’ and 'how' will take shape as we share our ideas, thoughts, offerings, preferences, expectations and whys.

How:
Some thoughts have already emerged – and we share these already here– as to how we might hold the space for our gathering to come to life - and so that our time may have value for us all.

We place this here with good intentions and for transparency. Know also that we are not fixed or attached to this.
Rather to initiate ideas and start to share towards the co-creation of this Lighthouse experiment all together.

As an underlying principle you may be encouraged to:
“Leave room in your heart for the unimaginable”  Mary Oliver
… and be present and open to what might be in our gathering.
 
Why:
The wider why can be found in ‘What are the Lighthouse Experiments?’

Some words that contribute to describing the gathering space we would like to hold are:
Sharing …. creatively
​Connection
Heart space
Experimental … discovery
Willingness to hold and share the light together
Loving and accepting


An invitation into our whys:
Our individual whys (including those of Delfino, Daniel & Chris) we hope to share together in conversation.
...so that we get to explore our whys and intentions further to help shape our time together.   

We would very much like to make this gathering a collective and co-created experience
– in which our whys can live and breathe together alongside each other’s.

For this reason, there is an open invitation to share, and also an intention to create opportunities, before we gather in Italy, for us to share together our whys so that we can feel into what we would value individually and collectively
and how we might like to engage in the experience.
This could in turn open up and shape the what and how of our Lighthouse gathering

Details of any online gathering to facilitate sharing ahead of the physical gathering will be given in time. 
We are also open for attendance and contribution to any online sharing - even for those not being able to attend in person.   

We will explore together with you the "liminal" as a collective threshold state. The liminal is just barely perceptible, or just barely capable of eliciting a response.

We will be co-creating rituals for the liminal phase that we are in - in this process of social transformation. To move from old normative "cold" social structures to communitas - open encounters - born out of crisis that enable us to experiment and innovate new social forms.

Where : Berlin Kreuzbergstraße ...
When : 19 November 2022 - from 10 am - 6 pm
Who is inviting : Chris Rekatas & Sebastian Jung
