A thing that is happening because some people met at The Miracle Inn #1

One of the reasons we set up The Miracle Inn and why we have ‘no agenda’ CLUB meetings every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, is that we - as a society - spend so little ‘no agenda’ time together these days.

‘No agenda’ time spent with others is, we think, vitally important because it creates space and permission for people to jam ideas.

The Miracle Inn provides that sort of space and opportunity. We don’t advertise it as a place to come and jam ideas, because that is not The Miracle Inn’s sole focus, but jamming is almost inevitable. Especially when you bring together people who want things to change.

We’ve been doing CLUB meetings for three months now, new people are finding us all the time, and when they arrive they’re finding each other too.

Together, at CLUB (and in person occasionally now too), we’re discussing issues, approaches, strategies, projects, campaigns. We’re unpicking why they do and don’t work and learning from each other.

And, we’re generating new thoughts and ideas.

I’m almost sure that as a result of conversations that started at The Miracle Inn new initiatives are starting, I know that emails have been exchanged and that follow up calls have been had. We’re never going to keep track of everything, but we should probably keep track of what we can, because - you know - “impact”.

So, this is the first in what I hope will be a long long series of posts under the title ‘a thing is happening because some people met at The Miracle Inn’.

This is ‘thing’ #1, it’s an event on #CitizenFriday in Education and Learning Communities, and it is happening next week:

You can read the full post by Tamasine on LinkedIn and you can meet up to discuss #CitizenFriday in Education and Learning Communities with Tamasine and Rob (who met at The Miracle Inn) on October 8th at 12.30pm. Learn more and sign up via Lumi.
