In addition to this years main Beau-Sejour weekend gathering from November 21st to 23rd, we want to offer you some additional possibilities to join our discussions and brainstorm some ideas about how our societies should go forward. Just fill in this Doodle and let's see who is here during which sessions - and we'll spontaneously accommodate the topics to shared interests of the participants of each session.

This years main Beau-Sejour gathering will follow up on the results of the previous years and the calling topic will be...
"Finding the Seed for the New System"
During last years gathering, one central topic that emerged was how the workings of current democracy, finance and civil society are all heavily influenced by a single defining pattern, circling around the way money is created.
This pattern defines the evolution of virtually all aspects of our current societies. This year, we will be searching for new patterns, which can encourage the growing of the new in the shadow of the old.
This years Beau-Sejour gathering will for the first time be taking place on the La Décentrale property up on Mont-Soleil, above St-Imier.
Itinerary for the "Finding the Seed for the New System" Beau-Sejour weekend:
Friday, November 21, 2014
You are welcome to join us on Friday already at 17:00 for us to be cooking and eating dinner together.
At 19:00 we all meet for our evening session. Together, we will review and discuss the topics that have emerged during the 2012 and 2013 gatherings and what has happened as a result with the creation of the Permavillage and La Décentrale projects on Mont-Soleil. We will talk about assumptions we've come to last year, like how the workings of current democracy, finance and civil society are all heavily influenced by a single defining pattern, circling around the way money is created, and how this pattern defines the evolution of virtually all aspects of our current societies. This will give us a head start, laying out the terrain we will be covering on Saturday. At around 21:30 we will end the Friday evening session.
Saturday, November 22, 2014
At 9:30 we will start our morning session, prepare and eat lunch together around noon, continue with our afternoon session at 13:30 and end Saturdays session at 18:30 . There will be the option of having dinner together as well for those of you that like to stick around Saturday night.

Accommodation
There are beds available for you to sleep in the house of La Décentrale, so there should be no need to look for other accommodation. If you like to stay here during the nights, please let me know, so I can make sure there is a bed reserved for you.
