This past week I was in Ytter Jarna, Sweden, where the Youth Initiative Program takes place. The Program is a brilliant initiative that brings together 40 young people (18-25) for a year to live together in this Antroposophic community and learn about what you can call social entrepreneurship. Yet what they are really learning is about themselves, their dreams, their quests and them in relation to the world.
And I was there to contribute to their process. Helping them to identify their most burning idea or question and make it to be a project which they can pursue during this coming year and after. Together we walked the Chaordic Stepping Stones and moved from an idea to a need, a purpose, guiding principles, people, concept, limiting beliefs, structure and practice. A journey not so easy when you start, but rather gratifying when you finish and have the feeling the heavy cloud above your head has come down to Earth and is written down on a piece of paper.
