Meeting Notes:
- Community Check In
- @syd is thinking about how she is tired from working, tired from hauling, but how it feels good to be active and engaged and productive.
- @Jeff is thinking about how he wants to be moving more and helping his body feel good. He is also thinking about the flood of ~information~ and how much to actually take in.
- Joel is thinking about hibernating and how as a outdoor guy, he slows down in the wintertime.
- @cberthiaume is thinking about how they are in transition to a new place, new job, new presidential administration. They are also thinking about how it is mentally confusing to be so privileged and doing so well in a time where so many people aren’t.
- Dan, what ISN’T he thinking about!? He just got back from traveling and visiting ancient sites, crossing off some bucket list things, learned from many cool leaders and guides. Friends brought over books, “On Tyranny” and a group is going to get together to discuss it.
- @Susan_Gilbert is thinking about how Nic might think she is disintegrating because of the ~awfulness of everything~. She is coming up with a plan for how she will deal with things mental-health wise. Nic & Sue are thinking about how their efforts need to be more MN focused, making sure MN is protecting human rights and the well-being of people.
