The days are getting shorter, but we're not slowing down! In fact there are lots of exciting plans for the fourth quarter, but first let's look at the past month:
- We renewed a connection with Paul Burney, a starfarer from Maine who owns the webpage at [Earthseed.org](http://earthseed.org) (check it out).
- The eco-village tour: Molly took us to five fascinating eco-village/cohousing sites across East Portland. For details, check out [the wiki page](/EcoVillageTour).
- The [Equinox Celebration](/Equinox_Celebration) went well, with deep thoughts, a fun story, and good food. Also, we are now meeting briefly each week to build tradition and strengthen our commitment to [Life](/Life) and [The Destiny](/The_Destiny). Ping [mailto:shelley@solseed.org Shelley@SolSeed.org] if you'd like to participate, in person or by webcam.
- Books: Kevin finished lettering [the children's book](/HappyInTheSun)! Also, we met our 3rd-quarter goal for progress on [the bigger book](/SolSeed_book), which has reached a total of 7,874 words.
Big plans for 4th quarter:
- Finish the books!
- Incorporate a business and maybe a [nonprofit](/The_SolSeed_Society) (or church?)
- Find and interview potential [SolSeed Eco-Village](/SolSeed_Eco-Village) members
- Big Solstice celebration and unconference
- Recruit more people to help work on all this great stuff!
Thanks for reading!
