== Agenda ==
*Next [[SolSeed service]] on Equinox, March 20
**Theme/Seed: Balance?
**Poem: "Buddha's Dogs"
**Guided meditation (with [[Meg]]?)
**[[Heather]]'s work/home balance issues might give her ideas to lead a discussion with
**Pagan ritual with newspaper pots where we would each plant a seed, then water the seed of the person next to you, and maybe say "what you're planting"
**Song choices:
***[[Shelley]] to learn guitar for "Spirit of Life"
***[[Ben]] suggests "Ye Earthborn Children of a Star"
*Monthly [[Newsletter]]
**Send it to the Facebook group too
**Include a picture from the children's book
*Insight from this weekend
**If we were building the [[SolSeedVillage|eco-village]], it would be great to live there with people who are part of the [[GreaterMovement]]
***[[Ben]]: [http://culturalcreatives.org/ "Cultural creatives"] is a name that comes close to describing this movement
**[[Brandon]] would prefer to live with people over half of which are "his tribe," literalists w.r.t. [[TheDestiny]] and want to work on it directly
***But definitely not space colonization enthusiasts who don't share the values
***If we call it the "SolSeed Eco-Village," it doesn't have to repel people who aren't about space, since [[SolSeed]] means "the body of all [[life]]"
**[[Shelley]] is not a literalist but likes doing the services (and helping with newsletters, etc)
**Only three people so far are interested in making [[TheDestiny]] central to their lives: [[Brandon]], [[Ben]], and [[Kevin]]
** Recruiting ideas
*** For literalists, start with the set of space enthusiasts and narrow down to people who share the values
**** Focus on web presence? [[Ben]] and [[Kevin]] both found [[SolSeed]] through the web (but then, it was just a wiki at that point)
**** Conferences and conventions
*** For the greater movement, could ex. recruit people from an Earth Day event who might be interested in the eco-village

===Where we're going (the current [[OnePagePlan]]) ===
Here are the 2010 goals from our One-Page Plan, with the names of people who will drive the work for each:
* Spiritual Community: Regular, impactful "SolSeed services" in Portland, led by multiple people -- [[Shelley]]
* Industry: Income run rate of $100,000/year (~$9000/month) by year's end -- [[Brandon]]
* Place: Ownership of a site for the nucleus of a [[SolSeed Village]] by Winter Solstice 2010 -- [[Mark]]
* Media: Publish two [[SolSeed books]], two videos, and a great website -- [[Ben]]
And here are the 3-year targets:
* Place: We can point to a SolSeed village
* Resources: Yearly budget is $1 million
* Industry: We are making money from something core to launching life to another world, and eventually another star system
* Vision: Our vision is clearly articulated in all core media (website, books, videos, events, Facebook page, etc)
===Progress So Far this Year===
* We just had our first small (16 people) service and potluck in Portland on February 6, with the "seed theme" of [[Empathy]].
* [[Brandon]] has bought the domain spacewiki.com, to become a clearinghouse for info on major figures in the space industry, and talked to a dozen caricaturists who might help us attract interest at space industry conferences.
* We've identified some vacant lots and connected buildings as a potential site for a SolSeed eco-village '''(include pictures)'''.
* Most of the art for our children's book, ''Happy in the Sun,'' has been completed, with seven pages left to go. Then we'll scan it all in, add the text, and self-publish under a Creative Commons license.
