Re: extra food update

 

Hmmm. I plan to make a curry/coconut/ ginger/lemongrass/cilantro¡­ chicken and rice thingy. Everything is gluten free except the curry paste jar does not have a GF symbol on it but seemingly has no gluten ingredients in it. When I googled, it came up gluten free. Huh. ??

Marsia, Matooka, is it possible that your entree or soup meets all the dietary restrictions??If your entree/soup is free of those everyone would at least have those choices.

I could also try to buy a boxed soup that meets the restrictions, to offer to those two people.

Hello SSR Sisters!

Emily has found 5-6 volunteers to come be representatives for our Constellation work. One person can only come on Saturday and the rest will be there both Saturday and Sunday. (Sleeping elsewhere.)

Since they are volunteering their time and energy, we have offered them lunch both days.

The food restrictions we are aware of are:
  • Dairy free, vegetarian, Pea protein, Pea sprout allergy
  • Gluten free, dairy free, no soy, no night shades
Please bring larger dishes than usual for our shared meals so that there is plenty of food. Snacks to share are also welcome. It will be Emily, 5-6 volunteers, and 11 SSR women. So, a total of 17 - 18 people.

(I imagine if funds are tight for the extra food, women could ask to be reimbursed some from the materials fund.)

??????????? Saturday Lunch:

    • Marsia: entr¨¦e
    • Matooka: entree or soup
    • Kate Z: salad
    • RayRay: protein
    • Jill: salad dressing, soup
    • Paige: bread and butter for whole weekend

Hi Women,

?

This is the email with lots of details for our weekend! It might seem like a long one, but the info is all in one place, and we used bright colors to make it way more cooler. ;)

?

First, our vote showed that everyone who voted was either thumbs-up or thumbs-horizontal, so we gave Emily the green-light to invite some extra women-type people to come be role players for Constellation work. We don¡¯t have the specific numbers for that yet.?With this in mind, because we are getting an incredible discount for the constellation work, we invited them to join us for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. So, for this coming weekend, we've shifted the shared meals to lunchtimes. Please bring a bigger amount than usual to feed the extra role players. We will know soon how many more people and what their food restrictions are. We'll keep you posted.

Hi Women,

?

This is the email with lots of details for our weekend! It might seem like a long one, but the info is all in one place, and we used bright colors to make it way more cooler. ;)

?

First, our vote showed that everyone who voted was either thumbs-up or thumbs-horizontal, so we gave Emily the green-light to invite some extra women-type people to come be role players for Constellation work. We don¡¯t have the specific numbers for that yet.?With this in mind, because we are getting an incredible discount for the constellation work, we invited them to join us for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. So, for this coming weekend, we've shifted the shared meals to lunchtimes. Please bring a bigger amount than usual to feed the extra role players. We will know soon how many more people and what their food restrictions are. We'll keep you posted.

?

?

Shared Meals: If you¡¯d like to switch with someone, please contact them directly.

Reminder: please bring a larger portion than usual so that we can feed Emily's crew. Everyone is welcome to being extra snacks to share, as well.

email from Emily

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hello Sacred Sisters,

There will be another email from the Co-fos coming before the end of the week with info about logistics. In the meantime, please see the email from Emily below (it includes a bring list from her that is separate from ours).

?

Co-fos

?

Dear Sisters,

Thank you for your trust and openness in inviting me to join your circle for another weekend of?systemic family constellation work together. I look forward to connecting with those of you I have already met as your?sisterhood has changed over time since we met last, and to meeting new?souls and faces for those that were not able to attend the prior retreat.? You were certainly with us in spirit; however, meeting you in form will be a delight.??

As you prepare for the gathering, I invite you to consider an intention for our time together that would support you in accessing greater flow in life, work, or relationships.??You might ask, ¡°What do I desire for myself, my soul, my relationships or my purpose/work which remains unfulfilled or a work-in-progress?¡± We will seed, tend, water, or witness the unfurling of your intentions through the multidimensional field of our work together. For some of you, you might first need to explore what inner resistance or external obstacles stand in your way in order to even access your desired intention. What habits, patterns and entanglements keep you from more fully manifesting the relationships, work, home, and inner well-being that you want? What fears arise when you step fully towards your larger intentions?

PLEASE NOTE: It is not uncommon, with the depths of the work that we will do, to have symptoms (that seek transformation) rise up as you approach the weekend.? Don¡¯t let the symptoms stop you from receiving what you came for.? Hold your "yes" close to your heart and stay with the movement to arrive in person and be with your sisterhood for a generationally unforgettable experience!

Here are some logistics to help you ground as you prepare for what is ahead¡­

Bring List:

¡¤?????? Intention stone or object

¡¤?????? Optional: You are invited to bring items to place in sacred space for the weekend that resource your intention. Feel free to bring photos, objects, quotes, poems, flowers/roots/sand/earth, gods/goddess representations, etc. that reflect your lineage, your story, your work, and your or your ancestors¡¯ place in this world.

¡¤?????? A journal and pen

?

Until soon, safe travels in a realms of the word.

?

Warmly,

Emily

Re: time sensitive - quick vote, some weekend details, etc.

 

Thank you to the 8 women who have already done the quick survey!

If you have yet to do it, please take a quick moment right now to answer the 3 questions (and one of those is your name!).

Surveys are due by noon EDT on Tuesday, April 8th so that we can give Emily our answer about whether or not to invite extra representatives/role players for Constellation work. We will base the vote on whoever has answered by then.

Thank you!!!!!!! :)

Hello Sisters,

We¡¯re just a few weeks away from gathering, and we have a time-sensitive thing as well as some ¡®regular¡¯ info. ?

First, please complete the google form survey. It is VERY SHORT. Emily is proposing the idea of her inviting some people she knows to come be additional role players for our Constellation work. We want to hear your vote on this. Here's the survey:

?.?

We¡¯re asking for a response by noon-ish EDT on Tuesday, April 8th so that we can give Emily our answer.

Second, for our sleeping preferences: Meggie has gathered info about this in the past, and she¡¯s planning to use that for this weekend as well. However, if that¡¯s changed for you, please email her directly and we¡¯ll adjust. She will send out the sleep plan prior to our weekend.


Third, more info will be forthcoming about additional specifics, but we wanted to send a reminder about what we agreed to regarding meal-stuff. If you¡¯d like to switch with someone, please contact them directly.

  • Predictable food assignments (won¡¯t generally change unless someone asks to change their assignment or if someone does not attend):
??????????? Saturday Lunch:
    • Marsia: entr¨¦e
    • Matooka: entree or soup
    • Kate Z: salad
    • RayRay: protein

Hello Sisters!

With our SSR weekend fast approaching, I wanted to make sure to let everyone know that I will not be attending.?

His birthday is April 26th,?which is the Saturday of our SSR weekend.? My family is planning to do a weekend-long birthday celebration for him, since he's turning such a significant age.? On Saturday, Aidan and I are going to do our customary 1:1 birthday celebration where it's just the two of us and he gets to completely dictate where we go and what we do for the entire day.? I've been doing this birthday tradition with him every year since he was 3-years-old, and it's something that's become very special to both of us.? On Sunday, we are going to have a big family birthday celebration for him at his favorite restaurant.? We hope to make it a special weekend for him!? In the past when his birthday has conflicted with our April weekend, I've been able to attend SSR by asking Aidan's permission to postpone his special day with me by a week.? That's what I did last year when he turned 17.? This year, however, it's really important to me (and I hope to him) that I'm there on his actual birthday to celebrate such a big milestone in his life.??

I'm really sorry I will not be in attendance at our upcoming weekend.? I know what it feels like having someone absent and how much of a void it creates.? If I could be in two places at once, I would.? I do plan on attending opening circle via Zoom, so I'll get to hear everyone's check-in and everyone will get to hear mine.....and heads-up.....my check-in is going to be GOOOOOOOOOOD.....probably my best check-in ever!? Stay tuned!?

Love, Kelly

I'm really sorry I will not be in attendance at our upcoming weekend.? I know what it feels like having someone absent and how much of a void it creates.? If I could be in two places at once, I would.? I do plan on attending opening circle via Zoom, so I'll get to hear everyone's check-in and everyone will get to hear mine.....and heads-up.....my check-in is going to be GOOOOOOOOOOD.....probably my best check-in ever!? Stay tuned!?

Love, Kelly

Hello Sisters!

With our SSR weekend fast approaching, I wanted to make sure to let everyone know that I will not be attending.? I won't be at our SSR weekend because it conflicts with a very special Burja family event.? My nephew, Adian, will be turning the BIG 1-8 this year!? Yes, I said 18!!!!? WHAT!!!!? His birthday is April 26th,?which is the Saturday of our SSR weekend.? My family is planning to do a weekend-long birthday celebration for him, since he's turning such a significant age.? On Saturday, Aidan and I are going to do our customary 1:1 birthday celebration where it's just the two of us and he gets to completely dictate where we go and what we do for the entire day.? I've been doing this birthday tradition with him every year since he was 3-years-old, and it's something that's become very special to both of us.? On Sunday, we are going to have a big family birthday celebration for him at his favorite restaurant.? We hope to make it a special weekend for him!? In the past when his birthday has conflicted with our April weekend, I've been able to attend SSR by asking Aidan's permission to postpone his special day with me by a week.? That's what I did last year when he turned 17.? This year, however, it's really important to me (and I hope to him) that I'm there on his actual birthday to celebrate such a big milestone in his life.??

Great question! We are still working out the exact times but here is the general idea:

It would be just us for Friday evening opening circle.

On Saturday, Emily would arrive with the extra people for Constellation work which will run about 9:30 am - 6 pm? (approximately). Then they will all leave.

We would have Saturday evening just us.

Sunday, Emily and the extra people would come from 9:30 - 3:30 or 4 (approximately).

Then it would be just us for closing circle on Sunday.

Emily is sleeping elsewhere. My expectation is that the extras would, as well.


Love you,
Meggie

Hello Sisters,

We¡¯re just a few weeks away from gathering, and we have a time-sensitive thing as well as some ¡®regular¡¯ info. ?

First, please complete the google form survey. It is VERY SHORT. Emily is proposing the idea of her inviting some people she knows to come be additional role players for our Constellation work. We want to hear your vote on this. Here's the survey:

?.?

We¡¯re asking for a response by noon-ish EDT on Tuesday, April 8th so that we can give Emily our answer.

Second, for our sleeping preferences: Meggie has gathered info about this in the past, and she¡¯s planning to use that for this weekend as well. However, if that¡¯s changed for you, please email her directly and we¡¯ll adjust. She will send out the sleep plan prior to our weekend.


Third, more info will be forthcoming about additional specifics, but we wanted to send a reminder about what we agreed to regarding meal-stuff. If you¡¯d like to switch with someone, please contact them directly.

  • Predictable food assignments (won¡¯t generally change unless someone asks to change their assignment or if someone does not attend):
??????????? Saturday Lunch:
    • Marsia: entr¨¦e
    • Matooka: entree or soup
    • Kate Z: salad
    • RayRay: protein
    • Jill: salad dressing, soup
    • Paige: bread and butter for whole weekend
??????????? Sunday Dinner:
    • Noreen: entr¨¦e
    • Abigail: entree
    • Gretchen: soup and/or snacks
    • Meggie: salad, toilet paper, and firewood
    • Katie: dessert

?

That¡¯s it for now!

Love,

Co-Foes
