I confirmed with Bellingham Cohousing that we will be able to meet in their common house for our Thursday, August 19th meeting at 5:30pm. Bicyclists have lots of parking options, but there are only 4 guest parking spaces in the community, so I recommend just parking along Donovan Avenue, there are many good and safe spots to use. For directions, please follow this link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr...

Thank you Rhys for taking the lead! I am mneeting during that time with the head of Small Business Development Center to conjur possibilities of partnership between coworking space and her organization. Tlaunching the CoSpace (working name for the coworking space) is pretty much now my priority.

The doodle poll is in, and at the moment, 6 out of 9 people can attend a meeting on Thursday, August 19th at 5:30pm! I'm going to touch base with Bellingham Cohousing to see if they are open to us having our meeting at their community, so I'll make sure to let everyone know if that works out.

I just returned to Bellingham from some travels, so I'm a little out of the loop, but we didn't set a definitive date at our last meeting so I'm running on the assumption that nothing is currently scheduled. Therefore I suggest that everyone follow this link (http://www.doodle.com/52my9pqmndudb4k2) and submit their availability so that we can schedule our next meeting. The poll will close on Monday, August 8th at 10pm, so make sure to answer quickly. The meeting time will be posted on this workgroup on Monday night before 11pm.

Does anyone know when we meet next? and where?
Comment by Laura J Sellens on August 7, 2010 at 3:16pm
Hi all, I wanted to say--it's been my desire to attend the last couple of meetings, but I was working weekday nights. That's over now, so it's my intention to come to the next one if at all possible.

Mention has been made of skills of living together as being crucial for ego-village success. I'm offering an introduction to EFT, which is a simple and powerfully effective way of releasing triggered reactions that result in fear, anger, lack of creativity, self-imposed limits of creativity and performance, and much more. On the positive side people can open up to themselves and others more fully and create and perform at higher levels.

In my experience, in communities people sometimes get stuck in positions and attitudes, as well as in feelings of frustration, anger, irritation, impatience, and so on, on the negative side. These feelings and positions can continue for a long time, doing damage to the community.

EFT is a great tool for opening those up. I have studied and facilitated NVC. EFT is a great complement there (for self-empathy), and I would say EFT has at least as much to contribute to community well-being as NVC, in parallel and quite different ways as well.

Anyway, the 2 hour intro is June 29, 11 to 1, at Red Cedar Dharma Hall, 1021 N. Forest. Details in the events. To be followed by a class on the 4 Tuesdays of July, same time, different place.
