### Seed 2011
- Goals
  - Engage people more deeply who want to be engaged (includes all the others)
  - Have good discussions and make decisions ... around community, the   nonprofit/church question, learning from other groups' experience, etc,   etc
  - People come away wanting to spend more time with each other
  - Feeling united by a common purpose
  - See people commit to a weekly or semimonthly event (probably a potluck)
  - Come together around a service project

- Ted and Ben's parents could come up for a day

#### Opening Service
- Get people's hearts open ... to share a special part of themselves
- Songs from Sequoia's school?
  - Hello Everybody ... we're glad to see you (helps learn names)
  - Mary Wore a Red Dress song with different words
  - Ben: In general, if someone tells me to sing a kids' song, I may feel like my intelligence was being insulted ... but if there are kids there, maybe it's okay
  - Brandon: It helps people see that we're not taking ourselves too seriously
- Personal check in ... hand the bulb around ... 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](/Bringing_Life), [community](/SolSeedCommunity), [space](/TheDestiny)

  - Lighting a chalice that will burn all day
- [Open Space](/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

- Ben ... send emails to SEDS contest participants ... by next call
