[CI-Announce] Authentic Update

[RGKAPPA@aol.com]

Hi All,

Yesterday after the jam, Ash, Ken and I met briefly in preparation for 
authentic movement next Sunday (8/22). Ken will facilitate this first session 
which means that he will have one or more structures in mind to get us going. 
We think having a facilitator is an efficient use of time- more 
moving/witnessing, less chat. Make sure to bring your own drawing and/or 
writing materials for processing.

Regarding cost, we are proposing a minimum cost of $5 per person per session. 
This way we can build up a small reserve fund with which to 1)pay in advance 
for the following month and 2) cover costs if, for some reason only1 or 2 
people show up at some future session. We are under contract with Brooke to 
pay in advance each month, so this way no one gets stuck footing the bill. 

Another proposal, with the intention of creating a stable, committed core 
group, is to ask people to pay for 3 sessions at a time. Total $15. Even if 
you know that you can only make 2 of 3 sessions, you would still pay $15. 
This practice is quite common among many types of ongoing groups which have 
shared expenses- kind of like a co-op. You are contributing to sustaining the 
organism. Now, for many of us, $15 every 3 months does not represent a 
burden, but for some, that may be a lot of money. We do not want this to be a 
cost prohibitive group, so individual cash flow issues can be looked at.

Because we hope to make authentic movement a monthly event, input from all 
interested participants is encouraged. The idea is to book Joe's for 3 months 
at a time. So, on Sunday, please bring your calandars and we will nail down 
dates for Nov., Dec. and Jan. (Remember that we already have Sep. 12 and Oct 
3 reserved.)
There will surely be other things to discuss, so please bring lunch or buy 
something at the co-op and plan to all eat together in the time between 
authentic and the jam.

Finally, please arrive at Joe's at 11:15 am on Sunday. Then we can tidy up 
the studio, change clothes, etc. and make a clear start at 11:30.

Please email me with any comments or questions. I'm so looking forward to 
Sunday and future authentic movement times.

'Til then,
Robin
