SF Bay Area Zaangha Get Together

Wow!!  Look at all those world-changing faces!  I get goosebumps as I imagine more and more of these events taking place all over the world.  Zaadzsters are da BOMB!!

Bringing people closer together is apart of  what life is all about that right there is changing the world : )

                                                      PEACE JOY : )

Fabulous!!!  Hey, that's what we forgot to do when we gathered in LA for the PW movie…. the PICTURE! :)

Beautiful people!! 

Way to go SF: you guys always were cutting-edge. But little old Lincoln Nebraska is getting together next week all, what,  three? four? of us zaadsters.  :o)  We small but we R mighty…….

Too darned cool! So fun to see this happening more and more. This has inspired me to get the Vegas group going! Last time I check we were growing in numbers. :-) Everytime I check the postcard locations I find myself putting more and more out. Even Sin City has hope! :-)

Can't wait to see the pic of your outing CalmEagle. Sure wish we would have taken one in LA.

Very cool!  I think it's getting to be about time for another LA gathering.  And this time it will come complete with camera.  =)

this is way too cool… 

YES ~M…  Lets imagine more and more of these events taking place all over the world

Thank you Brian for posting this and for everyone's encouraging comments!!  Yes, it was such a joyful/meaningful gathering, sowing seeds of connection & world changingness.  We ate, did self-introductions that went below the surface into discussions about career, “following our bliss”, gratitude, kindness, and even sex :)  If you live in the Bay Area, join the SF Bay Area pod and you'll be notified of our next gathering!  To recognize those who came to this first “zaangha” here are their profiles~

—————————————————————————————————— 

Here were the questions used during the self-introductions.  A little piece of paper was passed around – the first side was “Guided Introduction” and the other side “Optional Questions”: 

Guided Introduction 

Take about 5 minutes to answer the following questions.
Tip: For each question, read it out loud, then put down the paper and look at us beautiful people as you talk :-)

1.  Name you’d like to be called
2.  Connect to something the previous person said… or ask them to expand on something they said.
3.  Where do you live?
4.  Paid job & do you like it?
5.  What are you excited / passionate about
      ·    OR what does “follow your bliss” mean for you?
      ·    Any other interests you’d like to share?
6.  Any book/movie/website/music you’d recommend to the group?
7.  What’re you working on OR could use help with?

Optional Questions

(pick 1-2 of these to answer:) 

· Worldview.  Spiritual path or personal development practice?
· Idea.  One idea for a better world?
· Insight.  An insight that’s recently on your mind.
· News.  Some news from your personal or professional life?
· Gratitude.  Story or thing you’re grateful for.
· Kindness.  What kindness did you see recently?
· _____ <– Make up any question you’d like to answer.

 If you have any ideas/suggestions for these questions please let me know!

This guided self-introduction process was developed in our book club on personal development & world betterment - a meaningful community-building idea (and success story) that I encourage everyone to take and implement in your own neighborhoods!!

how beautiful!!! I would just like to say that I would love to help and assist in anyway in a zaadzs summer/fall tour in my area! just let me know and I’ll do all I can!

Zaangha in New York, July 15 at NOON

hey ~C4…. Show Me The Money

~

Princess: here's some money for you :)

~

ahhhh i love u

~

What incredible fun!  I am truly enjoying this site and the community it provides the opportunity for!

Oh it makes me happy and excited!  - and a little lonely too as I feel a bit in a vacume here in the midwest.  I know there are many potential zaadzsters here.  Glad to see you all together!

Lets have a zaadz conference in Cape Town, South Africa - anyone else in South Africa who happens to be in Cape Town during during August - lets all get together -

Some ideas for a central gathering?

Deerpark Cafe - they have a nice little park out front or/Kirstenbosch Gardens, Camps Bay Beach etc Open to suggestions.

Dates: August - perhaps on a Saturday or Sunday?

This is fantastic. I love this whole idea. Its great.

~ brian…  was wondering if u would possibly include a suggested once a month regular Zaanghas meetings that would include of course sharing our set of goals and finding the best tools to manifest in reality…  we have this with Spiritual Cinema Comminities around the world and it works well when there r regular gatherings…

~ apple baby looooove uuuu.. and i'll probably spend the summer again in south africa and we can maybe orginize something then if u feel….  hugs and kisses ~

San Fran…seems like you organized a wonderFULL zaangha.
We are doing the same here in LA…..3rd LA Zaangha..on August 12..hope you can make it. We intend on bringing sunshine and love to our getogether, exchange ideas and spark up collaborations, maybe even meditate with the dolphins…http://events.zaadz.com/27/zaadz_beach_party

Since there will BE 5 other zaanghas worldwide on that day, the intention is to connect and share excitement and love (i.e. seedZ) by phone.

Much love

~ (X SF Bay)

George… this is for u…..  6 wks later after your first gathering that inspired New York Zaangha and with joining forces with Jessica and others the ball just continued ralling forward….  ~ love u all ~
