    Just over a week ago about 20 of us gathered for an “open planning meeting on steroids” about the future of Headspace. It was an enjoyable night with good food, drinks, and great company. Part of it was spent in groups discussing what it is about Headspace that we value, and because alot of the same ideas came up in different groups, we discovered that it was not too difficult to put together a list of shared values.

    There are, however, a couple of points worth noting. Firstly, we recognised that this is a snap-shot of an evolving group. The list is not there to fix in stone who we are. It is not a statement of faith or a creed that defines us. Secondly, we recognised that it is a response to a particular question. We discussed what it is that we value about the group, but if we asked a slightly different question (e.g. what is our purpose as a group) we might have a different outcome.

    Here is the list. Your comments are welcome.

    we want headspace to be varied
    a place where we encourage creative approaches to collective worship and encounter God in different ways

    we want headspace to be open minded
    a place where different points of view about faith enrich our view of God.

    we want headspace to be inclusive
    a place where everyone and anyone can be welcomed, accepted, and engaged in our community.

    we want headspace to be space
    a place to explore, reflect, and meditate on what’s going on inside.

    we want headspace to be social
    a place where we spend time getting to know each other

    we want headspace to be led by the group
    a place where everyone can contribute and direct what we do.
