Community Forum Wednesday December 13th, 7:30 pm – all invited Super-Radiance – What Will It Take? To Bring Us Together, To Rebuild Common Purpose To Restore Group Program Attendance Phoenix Rising Hall, 207 W Burlington In this meeting we’ll examine our own desires, both for ourselves and our world, to re-establish a more powerful influence of coherence in collective consciousness from our Golden Domes and other group program facilities. · Are we inspired? Do we feel empowered? Does each one of us feel we are Maharishi’s movement? · How shall we ensure that each one of us feels valued and honored in what we do to fulfill Maharishi’s goals for the world? · How shall we all communicate effectively, so that concerns and ideas are heard, are acknowledged with respect and kindness, and are given prompt and appropriate attention? · What more can we do to raise group practice attendance? · How shall we do justice to the gift Maharishi has bestowed on us? How shall we pass that gift to all corners of our world? Please join together to share our vision and to plan community action – with love, creative intelligence and enthusiasm. As always, we’ll have an open mic so all may speak. Also – next month, in commemoration of our annual January celebration, we’ll have a special meeting for members of our community to share with all of us our own stories of how we met Maharishi, or how the knowledge he gave us first touched us.

Green House Project (skilled nursing facility for Southeast Iowa) w/ Eden Alternative ethos Thank you for coming to the meeting on Sunday and contributing as so many of you did! Twenty seven people came together to begin the discussion of what we want to support, develop and create in Fairfield for people as they live and age and move through end of life care. A very organic, largely volunteer level of care has been happening in Fairfield all along…many people generously, compassionately coming forward to care for others as the need arises. This will continue as it should! The interest here is to see people generally planning ahead and see to areas that could be better coordinated in order to serve more people more effectively and see fewer people “fall through the cracks” in receiving the care they require and better support primary caregivers. Relying on government services as they continue to be slashed and dismantled on state and national levels is not as realistic in the coming years. This is a time to create what we want. The following are ideas/concerns people expressed. It is just a start. If you see an area here that you would like to weigh in on and/or help with, please indicate that by putting an “X” by it and returning it to me… ham...@lisco.com We will have our next meeting November 26th, 2 to 4 pm at the Hamilton house, 2140 227th St. All are welcome. # ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote : 3rd Meeting, A 'Community Forum' about Fairfield, Iowa.

It is anticipated that another community forum similar to this will be held in November with Dr. Hagelin and others focusing on retirement issues related to Fairfield and the Fairfield meditating community. These meetings are the work of an ad hoc committee of people who are invested in the well being of the community of Fairfield, Iowa. ..] .# ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony...@yahoo.com> wrote :
