Hello Ethan and others,
I've been reading and following this thread, but haven't really participated actively in posting much. Although I see the need to band together, the idea of being with complete strangers feels weird to me, even though we all understand the fragility of the times we are living in and the need to be with others for protection, support and strength. My senses tell me that we still have some time ( I trust my inner guidance ) and that we do not need to rush things just yet. This is why I want to meet up on the 19th of october. We need to get to know each other a little, to build a sense of family trust.
My plan is then to see who wants to meet up at Christmas time, for 4-5 days in a farmhouse in the Ardennes, so that we can really see and feel how it feels to hang out together. I already have this farmhouse booked - so its simply a matter of getting together there. There is enough room there for 15-20 people to stay. The farmhouse belongs to my family and I can use it a few times a year if I want to. To me this feels like a more realistic option.
The location of this place is also interesting - it is exactly at the point where 3 countries meet belgium, germany and luxembourg and the village is small..
If we have all been there together once, it will be much easier to meet up there a second time if needed. You can also get there by train!!
So, my suggestion is that we all meet up on the 19th in Amersfoort, to get to know each other a bit. We can make plans from there...
So what do you all think - is this a good strategy?? I know people appreciate your inspiration Ethan, but there are some psychological barriers to get over if we really want to form a group that works.
