Responsibility for Our Creation

This year’s theme, in Vito’s spirit

At The Transmission School we don’t really experience this place as a traditional school.

We are not here to fill you with information. What we try to do is open a space where something can be received and lived, but only if you are part of it. You are not just attending something, you are inside a process.

Over the past years the work has moved step by step. We started with freedom and responsibility, then we explored what it means to be free to create. This year something becomes more concrete.

We are free to create, but we are also responsible for what we create.

This is not something abstract. It shows up in very simple ways, in what you do, in how you respond, in how you relate to others. Every action, every choice, every interaction has a consequence. Sometimes what we create feels aligned, and we recognise it immediately. Sometimes it doesn’t, and in those moments the tendency is to look outside or to correct quickly.

What we try to do instead is to stay a little bit longer with what is happening and to ask a simple question: what am I creating here, and where is it coming from?

This is already a shift.

Many people arrive with a strong focus on their personal process, and this is part of the work. But at a certain point something opens beyond that. You begin to realise that you are not alone in what you are living. You start to feel the group, the environment, the way your presence has an effect on what is happening.

Responsibility then is not only about yourself. It has to do with how you are with others, how you participate, how you move inside a shared space.

This doesn’t come as an idea, but through experience. By paying attention, by allowing yourself to feel more, by noticing what changes when you are a little more present.

The courses are part of this process, and each teacher will bring something different that can help you see more clearly. At the same time, what really holds the work is the environment itself, the way you live here day by day. It is in this living situation that things begin to shift in a way that is not forced.

After a while you may start to notice that one question keeps coming back, in different moments, often in very ordinary situations.

What am I creating?

And am I ready to take responsibility for it?

It doesn’t come as a big realisation, but more quietly. You see it in small things, in how you react, in what you choose, in what you avoid. And once you start to see it, even if only a little, something changes.

Not because you decide to change, but because you are a bit more clear.

This continues when you leave. It moves with you into your life, into your relationships, into the way you take decisions.

Because in the end we are always creating something, the only real question is whether we are aware of it.
