Issue: I move that we repeat the meditation slide selection process so that we may have new slides for use during our morning meeting.
Background: About 2 years ago the SMR members were offered the opportunity to submit slides that could be used during the 2-minute silent meditation. Members were then able to vote on the slides they liked best. The top 4 were selected for random use during our meetings.
I suggest we repeat this expressive group activity. Basic parameters would be set – submission format; text requirements. And the current slides would also be offered as an option for selection.
Members would vote for their favorites. If there are a lot of entries, this may have to be conducted in two rounds.
The particulars can be worked out, similarly to the original slide selection process. This could be an enjoyable activity to encourage member participation.
This could be fun if there are service members who want to take the lead. It would be a nice refresh for the meeting
I like the idea of opening it up to new submissions-yes!
I think this is a good idea that allows members to be a part of, and a responsibility to the SMR group.
I’m always up for beautiful soothing pictures. If people want to submit new ones, I’ll vote on them.
Sounds like a great idea
Yes, I agree with the motion. Wonderful idea!
We all have different images to elicit calmness. I love the idea of an annual change-up reflecting the choices of the group. Thank you.
Yes, this is a great idea
To me it seems like a kind of invitation to a creative process that can foster a greater sense of investment in our ACAMorning meeting. I’m in favor of the motion.
