review notes from last meeting - open action items, what did/didn't get done? 
new proposals (scheduling, events, improvements, logistics, etc.)

30 second moment of silence

'''Faith and Spirituality Working Group Meeting, 11.23.11'''

Attendees: Chris, Elaine, Marty, Steven, Stephanie, Kiran

Moment of silence
Introductions
Review of past meeting minutes

1)Communication Issues:
Agreement that Facebook should be used for socializing, sharing news only. Issues with FB censoring some Occupy posts/discussions.
Christa's website meets our needs for community organizing, sharing documents, scheduling, etc. She plans to add chat functionality soon.

Create your profile at: http://www.universalonehealing.com/membership-signup/

2) Inter-faith concerns:
Someone has voiced concerns about using universalonehealing (due to its non-Christian focus?) Will this limit participation?

Universalonehealing represents a wide variety of spirituality ideas/beliefs.

We aren't counselors, nor are we promoting any one belief over others.

We need to articulate our goals/purpose more clearly.

'''Proposed / passed:''' We will continue to use universalonehealing, stressing that everyone is welcome.

3) Working documents on Facebook:
The “ideals” document need to be streamlined into one cohesive piece that will serve as the group's overall statement of purpose.
Unified values language...

'''Proposed/passed:''' Present a complete document to be reviewed by the group at WG meeting on Wednesday, 11/30.

4) Iconography within the tent:
Concerns about the lack of Christian icons displayed
Anyone is welcome to leave objects from ANY faith
Reminder that items representing many faiths, including Christianity, have recently gone missing.

Question: Do we want to send an email message to the group with a reminder about objects in the tent?

5) Space / Winterization
Sage(architect) is demoing his expanding foam tee-pee on Friday.
Still a lot of options on the table
Russell Simmons has an interest in helping upgrade the F&S structure
Tags hardware is offering us materials at cost
Price out cost of building a yurt, based on blueprint we have. Elaine agreed to do this and report back to the group.

6)Contingency Planning

We are aware camp remains under threat of eviction.
Constructing a winterized structure means there is a possibility of our structure being dismantled and confiscated by police.
What does our group plan to do if police action is taken against the Sacred space?

'''Suggestion / question:''' We need to compile a list of “emergency” contacts to call on if this happens. List should include Occupiers who can get to camp on short notice, and who are willing to encircle the tent. List should also include leaders from community faith organizations (churches, temples, etc).
Who can/will take the lead on organizing this list?

'''11.19.11 Faith and Spirituality Working Group Meeting'''

Attendees: Olivia, Martin, Christa, Stephanie, Glen

Priority agenda items:
Winterization
Discussion of programming
Online meeting coordination
Communication issues

Discussion

1) Winterization of structure

Groovy Yurts – We decided not to go through with this option
Hexayuts – 6x12 and 8x8 we can get for free from Burning Man
Winterization Committee wants to get us a tent between $500 - $1,000. Discuss logistics at future meeting (date/time/location TBD)
Andy the Handyman has plans for other types of structures – sweat lodge style

Passed: Get budget, then get dollars to fund new structure. See if Andy can come to meeting Hope to do this for under $500.

2) Programming

We need more on the schedule to draw people to the space
Keeping calendars synched up
Streamline coordination and communication on scheduling

Proposed: Compose a letter to send to our individual networks to reach people who may want to teach/lead/share something in the space.
Passed: Christa will draft letter (Olivia/Stephanie offered to assist)

3) Online meetings / Communication Issues

Marty has set up a Mayfirst listserv as an alternative to Google. Let's get the group migrated to this system. Subscribe here: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/spiritual

Organizing happening on Facebook – confusing. Facebook should be used for truly social networking purposes

We need:
Private forum for online meetings
A place for our documents – tent schedule, host sign-up, and more

Online meetings -
On IRC? Private channel needed
Tentatively scheduled for Thursdays at 12 pm.
Software available via mirc.com (?)
Dialnet is also an option

Proposed: Final decision on where to host calendar, sign-up, etc. We need to know more about how IRC works.

Passed: 1) Use Christa's forum and calendar for organizing, possibly other documents. What can WP handle? 2) Stephanie will investigate IRC / chat channels and report back to group. If Glen is available, maybe he can also offer input?

Next WG meeting: Sunday, 11.20.11 at 12:00pm at Sacred Space tent

Notes meeting 11/4/11?

PASSED: Scale back meeting schedule
Sat, Sun, Tues @ noon
Weds evening*

Marty will notify group/calendar and which Weds pm is available

PASSED: Spend $20 or less a week on white sage available for discount from 7 Stars book store in cambridge to smudge the space & camp each morning.

We need to find out when we will be receiving new tent from winterization.
Marty will find out & notify group.

Note from Julia 413-346-7746 jreidy@lycos.com)

ON the topic of imrpovements to the sacred space structure, it would be nice to have a place to stack the shoes out of the weather (rain, snow, mud). TO that end, I will bring in some crates tomorrow, Saturday. If there are any other items that you might want brought in by car, please contact me.

'''Notes meeting 10/21/11''' 

Proposal 1: Sleeping issues 
--10 people were found sleeping in the space night of 10/20 
a) Let all of logistics know that persons looking for a spot to sleep should not be directed to the Faith and Spirituality tent. Make paper flyers with this information so that new volunteers at logistics will know. 
b) Host should arrive at 9pm 
c) At the 12pm meeting host should be designated and if no one volunteers there should be an emergency contact list

Proposal 2: New space 
Create a new space for sleeping or suggest to logistics that there should be another space created for extra sleepers

Proposal 3: Work group laptop 
We should get a community laptop 
Each day it will be assigned to the note taker of our meeting, and that person will be responsible for it for the next 24hrs, will post notes from meeting to the fb group, and the next day at 12pm will pass it on to the next note taker. Will travel from hands to hands and not be left anywhere.

Proposal 4: Financial matters 
Online donation account 
Physical donation box in tent 
Online request for donations 
We could have a fundraiser within the art gallery space that was donated for use to occupy Boston, we could have a speaker or a workshop led to gather people together for this event.

Proposal 5: Laundry 
There are 6 medium sized trash bags full of laundry 
We need at least 4 volunteers to carry them 
There is apparently a Laundromat that has given us free access? Where is it? 
Otherwise there is a Landromat across from Haymarket stop

Proposal 6: Request for donations 
Requests for donations: battery operated xmas lights, tent, laptop

Proposal 7: Receiving our allotted $100 per week 
Someone should figure out how to receive our allotted $100 per week

Eric said that he would take responsibility for gathering a group to go do laundry tomorrow, I separated stuff into smaller bags so they would be able to be carried, but we were wondering where the laundromat that has allowed us to do laundry for free is located?

'''10/19 12p''' 
Attendance: Olivia (facilitator), Leona, Eric, Libby, Sam, Marty, Dawn, Christa, Robin, Cindy, Curran

Review last meetings notes.

New Proposals:

PASSED - Announce our sleeping in the tent policy at tonight's GA: Robin 
We decided that in order to make the space available 24 hours to community members who wish to use it for its intended purpose, we will limit the number of people sleeping in the tent to 3, including the host, at the discretion of the overnight host. Sleeping will be restricted to the hours between midnight and 8:30. Safety has been notified, and will no longer direct lost campers to our tent to sleep.

PASSED - designated note-taker will be responsible for getting the notes online so that they can be shared with the rest of the planning collective

PASSED - we will use the wiki

Point of Information: Occupy Boston IT is in the process of transitioning all working groups to an Occupy Boston domain (instead of google groups, etc.)

PASSED - figure out what the deal is with switching to the new domain, how to put notes online: Sam

PASSED - for now we will put all existing meeting notes on the wiki and alert the fb group of the link: Marty

PASSED - create a wiki login for the Faith and Spirituality group (for anyone in the group to use), put login information in the notebook: Marty

PASSED - put emphasis on having a host present from 9pm through the night, to make sure people don't start going to sleep before midnight! 
also to facilitate group meditation session (more on that below)

PASSED - have group meditation time slotted in the schedule, by default, unless needed by another presenter/facilitator who can't do it any other time 
Each day 9a - 10a, 9p - 11p - This will be a quiet time that people can enter/leave at will to join a group meditation session. In the evening, this will also serve to discourage people from going to sleep! "Daily communal quiet space is very important for any community." This scheduled block will be inserted into the schedule for each day by default, but may be cancelled in lieu of another service workshop that can't be presented at any other time.

PASSED - we must be sure to keep the Mecca corner clear. this can double as an all purpose meditation space for people to sit whenever anything else is going on that they might not want to participate in.

PASSED - create a "Meditation 101" writeup for the folder, with graphical representation for the illiterate!: Olivia 
-this will serve as a foundation for those who are new to meditation, with emphasis that everyone will create their own practice

The space folder will contain the following: 
-guidelines for the space 
-sacred space host description 
-meditation 101 
-critical contact numbers, emails, websites, etc... 
-description of use/contents of notebook

Signage needs: 
something about the sleeping rule, in particular

Proposed: Final decision on where to host calendar, sign-up, etc. We need to know more about how IRC works.

Passed: 1) Use Christa's forum and calendar for organizing, possibly other documents. What can WP handle? 2) Stephanie will investigate IRC / chat channels and report back to group. If Glen is available, maybe he can also offer input?

Next WG meeting: Sunday, 11.20.11 at 12:00pm at Sacred Space tent

Note from Julia 413-346-7746 jreidy@lycos.com)

ON the topic of imrpovements to the sacred space structure, it would be nice to have a place to stack the shoes out of the weather (rain, snow, mud). TO that end, I will bring in some crates tomorrow, Saturday. If there are any other items that you might want brought in by car, please contact me.

'''Notes meeting 10/21/11''' 

Proposal 1: Sleeping issues 
--10 people were found sleeping in the space night of 10/20 
a) Let all of logistics know that persons looking for a spot to sleep should not be directed to the Faith and Spirituality tent. Make paper flyers with this information so that new volunteers at logistics will know. 
b) Host should arrive at 9pm 
c) At the 12pm meeting host should be designated and if no one volunteers there should be an emergency contact list

Proposal 2: New space 
Create a new space for sleeping or suggest to logistics that there should be another space created for extra sleepers

Proposal 3: Work group laptop 
We should get a community laptop 
Each day it will be assigned to the note taker of our meeting, and that person will be responsible for it for the next 24hrs, will post notes from meeting to the fb group, and the next day at 12pm will pass it on to the next note taker. Will travel from hands to hands and not be left anywhere.

Proposal 4: Financial matters 
Online donation account 
Physical donation box in tent 
Online request for donations 
We could have a fundraiser within the art gallery space that was donated for use to occupy Boston, we could have a speaker or a workshop led to gather people together for this event.

Proposal 5: Laundry 
There are 6 medium sized trash bags full of laundry 
We need at least 4 volunteers to carry them 
There is apparently a Laundromat that has given us free access? Where is it? 
Otherwise there is a Landromat across from Haymarket stop

Proposal 6: Request for donations 
Requests for donations: battery operated xmas lights, tent, laptop

Proposal 7: Receiving our allotted $100 per week 
Someone should figure out how to receive our allotted $100 per week

Eric said that he would take responsibility for gathering a group to go do laundry tomorrow, I separated stuff into smaller bags so they would be able to be carried, but we were wondering where the laundromat that has allowed us to do laundry for free is located?

'''10/19 12p''' 
Attendance: Olivia (facilitator), Leona, Eric, Libby, Sam, Marty, Dawn, Christa, Robin, Cindy, Curran

Review last meetings notes.

New Proposals:

PASSED - Announce our sleeping in the tent policy at tonight's GA: Robin 
We decided that in order to make the space available 24 hours to community members who wish to use it for its intended purpose, we will limit the number of people sleeping in the tent to 3, including the host, at the discretion of the overnight host. Sleeping will be restricted to the hours between midnight and 8:30. Safety has been notified, and will no longer direct lost campers to our tent to sleep.

PASSED - designated note-taker will be responsible for getting the notes online so that they can be shared with the rest of the planning collective

PASSED - we will use the wiki

Point of Information: Occupy Boston IT is in the process of transitioning all working groups to an Occupy Boston domain (instead of google groups, etc.)

PASSED - figure out what the deal is with switching to the new domain, how to put notes online: Sam

PASSED - for now we will put all existing meeting notes on the wiki and alert the fb group of the link: Marty

PASSED - create a wiki login for the Faith and Spirituality group (for anyone in the group to use), put login information in the notebook: Marty

PASSED - put emphasis on having a host present from 9pm through the night, to make sure people don't start going to sleep before midnight! 
also to facilitate group meditation session (more on that below)

PASSED - have group meditation time slotted in the schedule, by default, unless needed by another presenter/facilitator who can't do it any other time 
Each day 9a - 10a, 9p - 11p - This will be a quiet time that people can enter/leave at will to join a group meditation session. In the evening, this will also serve to discourage people from going to sleep! "Daily communal quiet space is very important for any community." This scheduled block will be inserted into the schedule for each day by default, but may be cancelled in lieu of another service workshop that can't be presented at any other time.

PASSED - we must be sure to keep the Mecca corner clear. this can double as an all purpose meditation space for people to sit whenever anything else is going on that they might not want to participate in.

PASSED - create a "Meditation 101" writeup for the folder, with graphical representation for the illiterate!: Olivia 
-this will serve as a foundation for those who are new to meditation, with emphasis that everyone will create their own practice

The space folder will contain the following: 
-guidelines for the space 
-sacred space host description 
-meditation 101 
-critical contact numbers, emails, websites, etc... 
-description of use/contents of notebook

Signage needs: 
something about the sleeping rule, in particular 
call for involvement - attend meeting, sign up as sacred space host 
brief description of sacred space host responsibilities 
tell people where the resource folder is

Meeting ended

'''Meeting Notes 10.18'''

Attendance: Martin, Eric, Olivia, Leona, Nate, Veronica

PASSED - create a new cardboard schedule for the next few days: Olivia

Document accepted by the group. 
To be posted to the Occupy Boston wiki and spread via facebook, twitter.

Proposal: No personal items to be stored in the Sacred Space tent - PASSED

FREEING THE 100% FROM GREED THROUGH MINDFULNESS 
Rick Heller @seeingtheroses 

The problem the Occupy movement confronts is the greed of the 1%. But greed is an aspect of the human condition, and few of us can be sure if we found ourselves elevated into the 1% that we would act differently. 

In the Four Noble Truths, the Buddha identified grasping desire as the key source of suffering. As a solution, he proposed an Eightfold path of thought and action. Among the eight elements is mindfulness, the practice of paying attention to the present moment with a friendly, accepting attitude. 

We have been holding mindfulness meditations at OccupyBoston. In a meditation at the Sacred Space tent, we focused on the sounds present around us. When paying attention mindfully, even the sounds of trucks and sirens can bring joy. Friday night, Buddhist monks and nuns from Plum Village in France led us on a mindful walking meditation from OccupyBoston to Copley Square. 

When mindful, we learn that noticing the slightest things in our present environment can make us happy. This can be a cure for greed. If millionaires were mindful, they would not cling to their wealth so tightly. Instead, they would intuitively understand that sharing a large portion of their wealth through either philanthropy or taxation could meet the basic needs of the 99% without any real loss to themselves. 

Those of us in the 99% can serve as role models for people in the 1% who are seeking liberation from greed. To do this, we must be mindful of our own desires and ask whether we truly need these things, or if we might share them with others who have even less than we do. In this way, compassion may “trickle up” to the 1% and liberate us all from greed.

Changing the World, One Meditation at a Time

Stephanie Eich (on twitter: @squibbish)

Life is full of challenges and demands. Long, crowded commutes on the train or in cars stuck in traffic. Paying bills, rent or mortgages. Trying to find a job. Picking up kids from daycare. Watching news stories that show a world embroiled in war and conflict. Managing our personal relationships. Protesting inequality. The list goes on and on. Lacking capacity to successfully manage these demands leads to stress -- stress that radiates outward and pollutes the atmosphere just as much as the toxic fumes belched from factory smokestacks. 

So how can the simple act of sitting quietly for a period of time every day possibly have any effect on a world filled with such complex issues? When we meditate, our bodies enter a period of deep rest. During this restful state, we release stresses and fatigue that have accumulated within us. Ultimately, we are able to deal with the demands of our crazy world more effectively and creatively. Additionally, we reduce our contribution of stress and unhappiness into the atmosphere. 

The collective sum of positive energy generated by meditators leads to change in the world. The change may be subtle, but noticeable, by others -- a sense of peace they can't quite put their finger on but can feel. 

In the tumultuous events of today, as the whole world watches this Occupy movement, generating positive energy is especially important. By meditating, we give energy to those who work so hard to maintain the camps. We diffuse arguments from those who don't understand without saying a word. 

And I don't believe there is one "right" way to meditate. I follow a Vedic practice, but I was overjoyed to sit with meditators from a variety of practices in Copley Square a few weeks ago. As we sat together in silence, there was a palpable change in the air. I could feel the vendors who were taking down their stands at the farmers market quiet their activities out of respect to what they were witnessing. I know that every person who walked by the Square that night received a benefit by seeing us all together. 

I will always hold signs and march and talk with others seeking to understand OB means. But I truly believe the most important contribution I'm making is during those 40 minutes of the day when I sit with my eyes closed.

'''Occupy Boston Faith and Spirituality Group''' 
The Occupy Boston Faith and Spirituality Group seeks to establish an atmosphere of inclusiveness and peace in the environment of Occupy Boston. Its members are committed to welcoming all individuals, while promoting and cultivating the diversity that exists between various religious, faith, and spiritual traditions. Through the establishment of the Sacred Space tent, the group provides participants with a place to decompress in the midst of a chaotic and sometimes stressful atmosphere. Its members are here to serve participants in roles such as facilitators, spiritual guides and mediators. Through the scheduling of workshops, ceremonies, spiritual practices and religious services, the group not only seeks to provide participants with vital opportunities for spiritual growth but it also hopes to cultivate increased awareness and participation in Occupy Boston on the part of the local spiritual community. All are welcome in the group and encouraged to join in the community that we've established at Dewey Square!
