Check-in
- Eric … New computer, and we're insulating the wall in the den (I tore out the drywall today) … I'm doing good, but tired from working hard
- Brandon … I've been chafing at having no unscheduled time … feels like I'm not picking things, just having things done to me … e.g. working on the molding for the new front door, Gaia.wiki stuff, work, presents
- Ben ... I am also tired but only because I just woke up. Mostly having fun here at Star House. Some of the discussion circles are not as fun. The people here have really been enjoying watching the rituals (my Hanukkah-like ritual and the Sabbath).
Opening Blessing
As we come into these holy days, may we find the thread that connects us to purpose and meaning. May we find the practices and rituals that speak to our elephants. May we gain value from this time and our community. --Blessed Be

Recruitment
Two guys Brandon told us about who are interested
- One guy hasn't responded to the invitation to the Solstice
Evaluation
- Eric … I'm glad that we met and that I was reminded to do the mask … I think I have a plan that will work, and I got a base coat of paint on it
- Ben ... Well, I am glad that things are generally coming together for the solstice. And I am feeling like I am making really slow progress on my novel.
- Brandon … Gaia.wiki is down, so I have some pressure to get the transfer done … I have a server up and MediaWiki installed
Closing Blessing
The winter solstice is a time of happiness and celebration. We often find that celebration requires some work but it's joyous work to enable connection and sharing light to push back the winter darkness. May we do the work and then party!!! -- Blessed Be
