SEEN Meeting: On Setting Time for Your Goals

On Saturday, May 23, at 2pm, come grab a meal or beverage with us at Casa de Luz East location on MLK Jr. Blvd! At this meeting, we will discuss how we prioritize and set time to work on our goals, and determine where any adjustments need to be made. This will be a "hands-on" activity-based meeting where we will be reviewing and making decisions about our schedules in real time - bring your notebook, daily planner, calendar app of choice, etc.

Come explore this topic or anything else you might want to discuss in this space; all are welcome here to share and receive community support.

Attendance will be limited to ensure we have enough time to focus on all attendees. If you will be unable to make it, please kindly update your RSVP to free up your spot.

How to Find Us:
We will meet at Casa de Luz East on 1915 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. at a table inside. The parking lot sometimes fills up but I have had luck with street parking just north of the building around Poquito St and E. 20th.

How it Works:

• After everyone arrives and settles in to the space and we have a chance to check in, I will open the meeting. I usually share a "theme" with a relevant quote, offering an idea to reflect on during the discussion. You are not required to stick to the theme; it's just there for your consideration.
• Participants will take turns speaking as they feel called to. When it is your turn, you may take as much time as needed to share whatever it is you want to bring to the group that day, e.g., what goals you are working on, obstacles you are working through, recent successes, areas you could use particular support, etc. What and how much you choose to share is at your discretion.
• The other group members (as they feel genuinely moved to) will offer you some kind of support - this could be encouragement, advice, an offer of help, etc. Back and forth discussion between you and other group members is encouraged; it's a dialogue. Feel free to call out anything that particularly resonates or note what you find most helpful.
• Once you feel like you are sufficiently "nourished" by the conversation and have gotten something out of that day's meeting you can carry with you, you will indicate that you feel complete/ready to move on.
• This repeats as each person takes turns sharing and receiving support (hence, an energy exchange), until everyone gets to go.
• There is not a set time for how long this process can take so I try not to set strict end times for the meetings. If anyone has a time crunch they are encouraged to share earlier.
• Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
