Saturday morning conference calls
* [[UpwardSpiralChurch]] ... Art and Mickey in Denver: looking to start something similar to SolSeed, but not with similar ultimate aims
* [[Spiriata]] ... Lion and friends in Seattle in process of developing an [[Intentional Society]]

2010 get-together being planned with kindred groups
* What sort of groups are we looking for?
* Stacey ... forum for intentional community ... I like the Open Space format ... open to lots of topics and lots of different people (community binds it together)
* Boni ... I'd like to think about it
* Shelley ... not in many groups 
** In what way would a book club be kindred?
** Interested in topic ... maybe learning things to share with us
* Ben ... advocacy groups ... not intentional societies but share some similarities
* Stacey ... unclear about what you want to attract ... definition of "kindred?"
** Brandon: groups that "exonerate or appreciate the differences of others" and aren't trying to convert everyone else
** Stacey : is kindred as characteristics, or is it a way of being? open to everyone?
** Shelley ... invite Unitarians
** Share something
*** Possibility and Life ... "Groups that radiate life"
**** What group doesn't?
**** Probably not AboutUs
*** Groups that "exonerate or appreciate the differences of others" and aren't trying to convert everyone else
*** Improve people's lives
*** Improve the planet
*** Potentially traveling to other worlds
**** Bob the predetator: I think the starships should be built using green technology
*** Ideas that contribute to the previous three (philosophy, religion, etc)
*** Living together in community (touching all aspects of life)
** Don't need to embrace all three
** Stacey thinks book club meets with criteria for kindred spirits. I don't see the criteria as specific enough to define what the group wants to attract.
** Groups that would consider us kindred (appreciate our kookiness) ... do we think they are worthy of having the spirit of discernment
** Stacey sees possibility and life as all-inclusive.
** Local or global group?
*** Trending toward living together ... is that an intention or a long term goal?
