Mission Statement

I’ve just updated the tag-line for this site to: ‘Living space, working space, public space, private space.  Can the spaces where we live, become places of well-being?’.  This is my latest attempt to pin down the mission focus of The Centre.

I thought that it might be worth tracking how this mission statement has developed by giving a brief history of my notes on the subject:

9 September 2012: The problems of the world are huge.  Our capacity to solve them is limitless.  The answers are all around us.

10 September: Kings Heath Centre for Space & Travels deny we are developing a rocket or that we are drawn towards the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

13 September: Exploring how the spaces where we live and the ways in which we use them can make us happy.

25 September: Talking about the spaces we inhabit is a non-confrontational, non-intrusive way of starting meaningful conversations about the way we live our lives.

3 October: Where ever we make our homes, we humans live in our own mental space.  When this space is restricted, no amount of physical space will help.

8 October: The Kings Heath Centre for Space Exploration is a family exploring the space in which they live.

And today:

Exploring how the spaces in which we live can become the places we need for well-being.

Being requires space.  Well being requires place.

Living space, working space, public space, private space.  Can the spaces where we live, become places of well-being?

Actually maybe:

Living space, working space, public space.  Can we make these spaces into places of well-being?

Yes, that sounds better.
