Medicine Pauwau, Aug. 25th: The village met to discuss how the ongoing Earth changes may affect us as individuals, families and community, as well as what we can do about it now.
        It was expressed by many that all are affected and that many are willing to help out. The issue of protecting our communities from those with different mindsets, however, needs resolving.

        Some ideas and suggestions:
        Build a better connection system, a communication network.
                [People signed up for emails.]
        Get to know one another better. [Meet regularly, perhaps monthly.]
        Support the Repair Café and expand the idea — repair the world. [Setup a table]
        Harmonize internal and external relationships.
        Take time for self care and to heal.
        Nurture ourselves, each other, and the community.
        Improve public transportation.
        Educate self and each other on existing systems.
        Improve use & coordination of existing resources.
            [Sally will coordinate with Seed Song Farm.]
        Etaoqua will begin a Newsletter to notify all of ongoing efforts.
        It was decided to improve communications with each other and to continue
            these talks about once a month.

        We closed with a forgiveness ceremony.
