Seed 2011
Goals
Engage people more deeply who want to be engaged (includes all the others)
Have good discussions and make decisions ... around community, the nonprofit/church question, learning from other groups' experience, etc, etc
People come away wanting to spend more time with each other
Feeling united by a common purpose
See people commit to a weekly or semimonthly event (probably a potluck)
Come together around a service project
Ted and Ben's parents could come up for a day
Opening Service
Get people's hearts open ... to share a special part of themselves
Songs from Sequoia's school?
Hello Everybody ... we're glad to see you (helps learn names)
Mary Wore a Red Dress song with different words
Ben: In general, if someone tells me to sing a kids' song, I may feel like my intelligence was being insulted ... but if there are kids there, maybe it's okay
Brandon: It helps people see that we're not taking ourselves too seriously
Personal check in ... hand the bulb around ... Today I bring X
Invocation/welcome
Diverse group coming together for a common purpose
Nurturing and supporting each other in being who we seek to be
Everyone is interested in bringing life
"Some of us see expansion into space as an obvious and natural way in which life is flowering. We celebrate that part of life and seek to encourage that flowering."
Others are more focused on Bringing Life here on Earth
This event is about sharing ideas and our hearts so that we can support that flowering in whatever form it takes
Some of us talking about a service project
Some of us talking about community ... for example regular potlucks
Some of us talking about something directly related to space
Playful part too ... the expression of life in snow play, sledding, hot-tubbing, eating good food together
If you find yourself asking "Am I doing this right?" I encourage you to turn that question instead into "What brings life for me?" ... we want to understand what excites each of us as a group
Flower and blossom theme ... flower and spaceship theme ... engage that somehow
One of our core values is to support "Happy in the Sun" ... each person becoming the best and most complete person that they can
When you look at this flower that's a reminder that we're here to support you
That holds even in the Seed Village where not everyone will be a member of SolSeed
