Planning Meeting Report

Those attending the Planning Meeting were Cliff Buchanan, Mike Kelley, Shawna Mitchell, Brett Messer, Pamela Scheler, Petra Reynolds and Marion Russell. Thank you Petra for hosting us in such a beautiful and comfortable environment. Marion cooked lunch for all. It was superb! Although there were only seven of us as compared to previous meetings, we got down to business and did a lot of work in a short time. Cliff read various e-mails and suggestions that he had received and asked for comments. The following are our Coordinators are effective for this year:

Words from WinterFox:
The time has come to plan another glorious year for the Gathering Of Circles. This year, our 11th anniversary and the first year of our second decade (scary, isn't it?) will be a challenge for all of us.  Many of us have had great personal challenges in the areas of health, family, love relationships, and many other types of major life changes . The world itself is challenged by the tsunami event, mudslides in California, the war in Iraq, and many other catastrophic events. (See what Beth Hin says below). Nonetheless, it is our duty to remember that for every death-ing. a new birth-ing occurs, a new opportunity, a new begin-ing.  It is to that end, that goal, that we dedicate ourselves this year to make ourselves stronger, healthier, and happier, and to be of service to those around us to the fullest extent possible.

I would ask that you wrap yourself around this frame of mind and begin to think about what you can do for the GOC this year. What can you contribute? Time? Money? Suggestions? Talent? Can you just show up? Can you invite someone? Can you bring someone or give a ride? Is this the year for you to take on one of the major responsibilities of being a Coordinator? I promise you that you will receive blessings tenfold of what you give.

I am also trying to make it as easy as possible for you to contribute to the Planning Meeting. I am asking for items to add to the Agenda for the meeting. Please click on the following link to add your suggestions to the Agenda or to view others suggestions or to just add you input for the benefit of the Planning Meeting and the GOC as a whole.

Some words from Beth Hin
(assignments)

23 January 2005

Friends,

It is my moral obligation, as a mystic and as the daughter of my noble late Mother, to communicate with you as clearly as I am able, the nature of the current classroom the human race has entered. I met esteemed Seneca Clan Grandmother Twyla Nitsch for the first time almost two decades ago. She discussed with me her consistent knowledge that the Earth was entering a time of living response to the Human Race upon the Earth's "Turtle's" back. She discussed Earth Changes with me for almost two hours.

As a daughter adopted by Twyla at her bequest, she has taught me: wherever there is vulnerability within our Earth, we are to work together to be with the Earth and with all of humanity and all of life, and to help the Earth to find her balance, through our work and through finding our own balance through our paths and through "That Great One's" lessons. We are to work at the highest level of which we are capable, for the highest common denominator possible. I acknowledge here Twyla's guideline from the teaching of her forefather, the great Peacemaker, Deganawida; "All for one and one for all." We are to live in simple strength within ourselves, maintaining our lives so that we are strong and complete enough to be of service to others.

I am aware that there is a collapse deep within the Earth at the meeting of the core of the Earth and the crust surrounding that core. It has caused a series of movements to physically manifest as a cosmic classroom, affecting all of the Earth and all of life upon her since 12 September 2002.

The first shift of magnitude apparent to most of humanity occurred in the tectonic movement causing several tsunami in December of 2004. I have entered here a map showing seven areas. There are several possibilities of movement within the earth over the coming three to five years:
