Saturday Morning Community Meeting 09:30—11:15
09:30 A Moment of Silence
- Sitting in a circle, Centre Coordinator facilitating the meeting, the group is invited to join hands
- Facilitator may offer a few words and request a moment of silence. Afterwards we "pass the squeeze" and release hands.
09:35 — 10:20 Introductions Using the Talking Stick
- The N. American Way of Council, a core concept here, is explained
- Speaking from the heart
- Using “I” statements
- Speaking to the Circle, not to individuals
- Each person has about 3 min to share their name, where they are currently living and whatever they would like the group to know about them
- The facilitator generally starts the sharing and the week's leader generally is the last to share
10:20 — 10:25 What is Kalikalos all about? (Facilitator)
- The combination of workshop experience with seaside holiday in which everyone coming here becomes a full member of the temporary but authentic community that is responsible for each week.
- Work is Love in Action: Our idea that working together as a focalised team is a key way to build authentic community
- The cooking of the evening meal, tending the gardens and cleaning up together give us the opportunites to practice working together holistically and building community
10:25 — 10:35 Daily Rhythms and Practical Guidelines (Staffer)
- Workshop group sessions usually start soon after breakfast and run to lunchtime at 13:30 hr with a tea/coffee break midway

- Seva Service: from 18:00 to supper time at 20:30 is work time (karma yoga): kitchen, garden, admin
