=== Invitation ===

* The meetup group
* The newsletter email list
== Book ==
Ideas for more content
* Creating beautiful lives ... artistic rather than scientific exercise (each person's beautiful life is different) ... diversity ... tie in with happy in the sun
* Focus on kindred and helping each person we come into contact with to find their "tribe" ... often won't be SolSeed ... menu of vibrantly alive communities to choose from
* We're trying to find people who already resonate and don't need to be converted ... everyone else we're trying to help find the community they already resonate with, not trying to convert them to our language and practice
== Evaluation ==
* Shelley: excited about the equinox ... sounds like fun!
* Ben: bothered by having a bunch of stuff on the agenda that we weren't able to get to
* Brandon: I like who I am when I work on SolSeed
