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 ** Themes: [[Bringing Life]], [[SolSeedCommunity|community]], [[TheDestiny|space]] ** Lighting a chalice that will burn all day * [[Open Space]] introduction after the service ** Both intellectual/blue-sky and grounded/here-and-now topics ** If you are wondering about putting up a session ... if it's important to you ... it's important to us ==WWWs== * Shelley ... send update on Seed 2011 to participants w/ driving directions etc ... by next call * Ben ... send emails to SEDS contest participants ... by next call * Ben ... upload the draft animation script for "[[Something You Learn]]" ... by next call
