42005 Goa, IndiaYour children are not your children.They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.They come through you but not from you,And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.You may give them your love but not your thoughts.For they have their own thoughts.You may house their bodies but not their souls,For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit,not even in your dreams.You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.KHALIL GIBRAN
2005 Goa, India52the settingFor the meeting, we selected a 100 acre property,‘Rustic Plantation’, in village Thane, 50 kmsaway from the town of Mapusa. We wanted toreverse all the settings associated with conventionalseminars or workshops.Thane is located in the extreme north easterntip of Goa, at the foothills of the Sahyadris(Western Ghats).The wilderness, perennial streams, and theinformal and leisurely pace of village life set thepace and tone of the meeting. The relaxedenvironment generated spontaneous laughter,stimulated interest, encouraged mutual interactionsand created a wonderful group dynamics.Food and living arrangements were simple.Participants lived in tents with basic but adequateamenities. The smell of mango,cashew, jackfruit and pepper kept the olfactoryorgans sensitized. The king crows, bulbuls,bee eaters, barbets, grazing cows and peckingherons provided company. Monkeys takinggallery seats in the tree canopy for the philosophysession seemed almost stage managed.We walked down one evening to the village ofHivrem to see how ordinary villagers in Goa live.We talked to the villagers, met children in thewards, had tea and water and thusmaintained contacted with realityas we find it outside large towns ormetropolises.Thane village and environs
