== [[Seed 2011]] next steps ==
* Candidates for leveling up
** Gus
** Mathew
** Ted (not a Seed 2011 participant)
** Jerry
* Service project
** Shelley's group felt like if she would just organize something, they would show up
** If we got 20 people for 2 hours, for example, that would be 1/5 of our yearly goal
** Ideas (mostly from [[How can we serve?]] session):
*** Gus: Living history project: old people telling the stories of their youth to kids
*** Shelley: Nursing Mothers Association "Mommy Moments" cell phone forwarding for breastfeeding issues (probably not a group project)
*** Homeless populations in Portland
**** Meg: I don't want to give money directly because it coud support drug use
**** Serving food instead
**** Use unused land, pick fruit from public trees
**** Brandon: Hands On Portland projects
**** Gus: gleaners (harvesting what the actual harvesters miss) ... Ben's 2nd-favorite idea
*** Ben: Arboretum or similar place
**** Shelley: Cutting ivy that's eating the trees
**** Trail maintenance, trash cleenup
**** Meg: Mt. Tabor & Tryon Creek State Park work parties
*** Molly: teaching English to day laborers (she's already doing this)
*** '''Village Building Convergence''' (4 1/2 months from now) ... our current favorite idea
**** Advantage: we could point to this for a long time to come
**** But deadline for new proposals was January 28th
**** We could still participate heavily in whatever project(s) they're doing this year, which might encourage them to consider our proposal for next year
**** Hours spent planning the VBC around [[Seed Village]] for next year can count toward our service goal
** Pick a project that's inspiring to one or more of the participants and get one of them to lead the process?
* Have a potluck sooner
** Discuss the service project
** Invite the architects
** Include games and/or arts & crafts
** Have it on the equinox (Sunday March 20), in the morning?
*** Probably not, since we may want to have it sooner to keep the group connected
** Have it at [[Ted]]'s place?
** Shelley prefers more meaningful events rather than just-plain-social events
*** Service project should be the main focus
*** If the games come out later, that's okay
** Could have a conference call instead, maybe on a weeknight?
*** Or at least conference Ben and Gus in?
** Try for this coming Saturday
== Earth Day ==
* Brandon wants to get 3 covered booths
** Mural, spiral planter, and a couple new thing
** Include Cloacina and Gus's stuff
*** Need to ping them
== Equinox ==
* Sunday March 20
** Ben would like it to be earlier in the day so he can get back to Seattle the same day
** Group hike, maybe in the Columbia Gorge
*** Maybe Jerry could lead it?
*** For children, max length would be 2 miles round-trip
** Balance/equanimity-type theme
*** Concepts from [[The Upward Spiral]]: balanced flows, dynamic equilibrium
*** Could play the slowing-the-water game, especially if it rains
** Have everyone pack a lunch
== [[Seed Village]] ==
* Dinner with the architects was mixed
** They're into process, revising as we go
** Christopher Alexander: "pattern language"
** Mystical view of architecture being the center of the universe ... a bit irritating to Shelley
*** But they did say that the space you build doesn't enable your goals by itself ... the people who are there really matter
* Have a 3-way videoconference with [[Brandon]] & [[Shelley]], [[Ben]], and the architects?
** Ben would feel awkward if it was just him and the architects
