To all that would like to be Guides!!
This is a starting list of details to lead a group for meditations!!
I will be posting soon the list of things participants should be bringing to
make things easier for event hosts!!
choose your site
get info,directions,costs(If any for admission),find the nearest hospital & have emergency numbers-best to note to them that you are having a big event(More than 100 people-someone usually faints or sprains something!!)
Help promote the event: e-mail others that are in area,put announcements on Myspace,etc.,contact meditation,yoga,martial arts centers,youth groups,healing centers,healthfood stores,organic farmers,etc that may be interested in participating.(I made post cards about the 2012 nexus with important site info
for Avalon & Nexus website,etc. & will hand out to others)
have sound equiptment-try it out before hand!!
Figure out parking and appoint helpers to direct drop offs & parking and greeters with flyers for meditation & info of your site.(at least 4 helpers + you per 100 people)Expect people that have difficulties walking!!!
Bring extra folding /camping chairs,blankets for those that forget theirs.
Have bottled water on hand for at least 30-60 people
-someone always forgets!!!
Have an intro speech or special speaker to bring group to a focus before meditation
Have an alternative to handle if weather is too sunny or too wet!!(Canopies-prepare for wind though!)
Work out a group that can watch the children-
do a set of coloring pages about your site-snacks-
prepare singing/dancing/games to keep occupied-
preferably some of the mother's in the group watch all others.(Believe it or not-that is probably how I am going to spend the meditation-good thing I can multi-task!!!) KEEP THE CHILDREN OUT OF SOUND REACH!!
The children will FEEL the event and hopefully it will make a huge impact in seeing so many in meditation!!
This is TRUE education!!!
This is difficult- but doable!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
