Because the [[SolSeedMovement]] has [[JoiningTheMovement|members]] who live in widely separated locations, many of its "meetings" are by phone. Notes taken during some of these calls can be found at [[Group Experiences#SolSeedCalls]]. Here is a description of the different types of call and how you can get involved:
== Online Work Bees ==
'''What:''' Discussing and working on the current major projects of the [[SolSeedMovement]] (ex. event planning, book writing, choosing sites and architects for the [[SolSeedVillage]]).
'''When:''' Mondays at 8-9 PM Pacific.
'''Who:''' Currently just [[Ben]] and [[Brandon]].
'''How:''' Currently we're using Skype for this call because so few people are involved. Contact [[Brandon]] if you'd like us to switch to a conference call system and include more people. Also, we use [http://etherpad.com/AihOxUaXGO EtherPad] to take notes and post them to [[Group Experiences#SolSeedCalls]].
== Book Group ==
'''What:''' We take turns selecting books, then read through a chunk of the book every week and discuss whatever interested us most about it on a conference call. Books we've selected so far include:
* ''[[The Untethered Soul]]'' by Michael A. Singer (call notes available at [[Group Experiences#SolSeedCalls]])
* ''Parable of the Sower'' by Octavia Butler
* ''The Power of Myth'' by Joseph Campbell (transcript of Bill Moyers interviewing him)
'''When:''' Sundays at 7-8 PM Pacific (10-11 PM Eastern).
'''Who:''' [[Brandon]], [[Shelley]], [[Ben]], [[Mark]], and [[Kim Edwards|Kim]].
'''How:''' Call 1-218-936-4700 and enter 815066# as the access code.
== Peer Coaching Triads ==
'''What:''' A sort of mini-support group system invented by [[Ted]], where participants take turns being the Coach, Client, and Observer. Each person will play each role once during a roughly one-hour-long call.
* The Coach's job is to make the 7-to-12-minute session "all about the client" and try to ask questions that help the Client to help him/herself progress on whatever issue they wanted to talk about. (Sometimes the topic is a positive event in the Client's life, in which case the Coach's role becomes less clear.)
* The Client's job is to be creative, resourceful, and whole, and to pick a topic that is the most important thing for him/her to talk about at the time of the call.
* The Observer's job is to silently listen to the conversation and then give his/her opinions afterward about how well the Coach did, along with any suggestions for improvement.
'''When:''' Varies depending on the triad.
'''Who:''' Current triads include:
* [[Brandon]], [[Ben]], and [[Ted]]
* [[Shelley]], [[Bonnie Sanders|Bonnie]], and [[Meg]]
* [[Mark]], [[User:RegulaFrey|Regula]], and [[Kim Edwards|Kim]]
'''How''': Contact [[Special:EmailUser/Shelley_Schoepflin_Sanders|Shelley]] if you wish to form a new triad. Some participants meet in person, others are able to use a two-way phone or Skype conversation, and others must find a way to do a three-way call.
