Meeting Format:

Most meetings have a single topic which is introduced by the person who came up with it. He/she introduces the topic by posting prior to the meeting (above) and presenting it for up to 15 min at the start of the meeting.

Following this introduction, we take turns sharing points of view related to the topic. Everyone who wants to is encouraged to speak. The Group is self-monitoring. The meeting starts at 2 pm and ends at about 4:30 pm. At 3:50 or so we will begin closing round making final comments, stating what we heard or what we learned during the meeting.

Note**- Diversity of perspective and opposing points of view are frequently expressed. The value/right of each person expressing their point of view is embraced. Freedom of thought and expression are valued greatly.
