7:00 Meeting Opens
Facilitator (the morning’s Host)
~ Introduces OPENING MEDITATION, lead by member or guest
~ Welcomes GUESTS
~ Requests PURPOSE STATEMENT to be read by member or guest
~ Introduces SPIRITUAL READING selected and shared by member or guest
Remember that EVERYONE IS A HEART KEEPER. We all help the group stay focused
and “come from the heart” in our discussions and interactions.
7:20 Spiritual Check-in
Open to everyone. Just raise a hand to be recognized by Facilitator
~ What are you dealing with spiritually in this moment?
~ What are your challenges, accomplishments and lessons?
~ How is what you are sharing affecting your life?
~ How are you feeling about it?
In sharing our hearts, we honor each other with complete confidentiality. Anything said
in the meeting stays in the meeting. We do this knowing that a safe, sacred space is
created as each of us commits to share with others our own personal experiences and
insights only.
We do not offer feedback to the person sharing and allow a moment of silence before moving to the next share. We keep our shares to about two minutes in order to have time for all. A small gong is sounded to indicate when sharing time is up.
Spiritual Check-in is private and not included in the circulated meeting Notes.
7:40 Wins and Acknowledgements
Open to everyone. Unlike Check-In, this is a time to honor one’s self for a gift or
achievement and/or to recognize and appreciate another person. Again, a brief sentence
or two allows more people to share.
7:45 Tao te Ching Video with Dana White and Jonathan Staggers
7:48 Break
8:00 Presentation
Facilitator introduces our Speaker and Topic.
Each Tuesday we enjoy a 50-minute topic presented by a scheduled speaker.
We are always interested in work that makes a difference for good in the world, with
a collective focus on personal growth, art, poetry, health (particularly from a holistic
perspective) and all spiritual paths.
We welcome new speakers who meet this criteria, so if you or someone you know is interested in presenting to our group, please contact Marigrace Gleason, our speaker coordinator.
8:50 Business
