== Next Service Logistics ==
10am Saturday July 21, 2011 ... Shelley, or Jerry if Shelley can get him to do it
Rotation: Brandon, Jerry?, Shelley, Ben
== Space Elevator Conference ==
* Brandon feels like he has his talk about 1/3 done
** Still wants to give the partial talk
** The talk has to be turned in by next Friday, the 29th
* Brandon needs a train ticket for Thursday the 11th
** Keith L offered to give Brandon a ride, but he doesn't go north until Saturday
== Newsletter revisions ==
* For the book, just say "If you'd like a copy..."
* Skip the potluck
* "...we're joining a massive global event"
== Daily Spiritual Practice ==
* Ben has tried to just sit and look at things and avoid having them trigger random chains of associative thought
* Brandon always closes his eyes, finds that helps him be more present ... listening to his breathing also helps
* Shelley focuses on a topic like loving-kindness, leading into the unfocused part, and often falls asleep
* Guided meditations?
** Spirituality and Health (may be defunct)
** Eckhart Tolle (and the Dalai Lama!)
** Tara Brach
== Evaluation ==
* Brandon ... I like actually doing work during the calls :-)
* Shelley ... I wish we could see Ben (video window was covered)
* Ben ... I wish we'd covered a little more, but oh well
