Opening Blessing
We are separate individuals and we are an interconnected community of Life. May we embrace this paradox and bring our individual ideas and talents to the work of helping Gaia prosper. -- Blessed Be

Weekly Events Logistics
Midweek
- September 17 Work-Bee: 6:30 PM PDT
Weekend Service rotation: Eric, Shelley, Brandon, Ben
- September 19 Service: 9 AM PDT … Ben
Autumn Equinox
- Brandon suggests Industrial Cafe for brunch at around 11 or 12 (they close at 3pm) … http://industrialcafepdx.com/
- Maybe go to Lower Macleay Park and walk, or do a ritual with the Gaia statue and something from Civis … Shelley will have just finished her triathlon, so she'll be tired
- Maybe we could visit a farm or orchard, e.g. Sherwood Orchards, where we could pick apples
- Maybe play a board game or two in the afternoon
- Starfarers of Catan
- Galaxy Trucker (could borrow it from Silas)
- Ticket to Ride (could borrow it from Silas)
- Some kind of democracy-related game
- There's one that's just called Democracy
- The Sanders have another one
- Carcassone
- Pandemic
- Settlers of Catan
- Hit (stock-trading game)
- Ben could invite Abigail and Matt to this part (and if his parents also come, we'll have enough for two simultaneous games)
- The idea of setting up the Hemisphere to look like a planet viewed out the window of a spaceship is beyond what the Sanders can do right now
- Also, Brandon prefers to celebrate Civis rather than Viventibus Mundos
Gaia Kickstarter
Video
- Ben would like to start working on a LEGO camera rig to get smooth motion for visuals of the Gaia statue in the Kickstarter video
- We also need a good camera, preferably a lightweight one like a GoPro
- Brandon wants to get storyboards and a script, but doesn't have time to work on them this week
Other
- For the conclusion of the half-quarter, we could write a blog post on Humanistic Paganism about the Kickstarter, asking if anyone wants to help with it
Evaluation
- Brandon … I'm glad I didn't run harder than I did today … I'm wiped out
- Ben … I thought we are making some good progress and am no longer nervous about the equinox event, sounds like we’ve got something to do
Closing Blessing
The life in me that I treasure, the consciousness in me that I treasure, are operationally identical to the life in you, the consciousness in you, and indeed in every living thing. May we experience life and consciousness with gratitude. May we bring more life. -- Blessed Be
