Let’s invite anyone in need, and anyone who has a strong sense of the soul, to an evening gathering to learn about Visionary society. The gathering should be in a pleasant location, with air conditioning, and simple food and beverages. Perhaps we can provide an inexpensive gift at the conclusion. Although it has a serious intent, we should try to create a fun and inspiring experience.
What will happen a the meeting?
It might begin with an gentle, basic introduction to Visionary society (the importance of awareness and sensitivity in each of the main areas of a person’s life). There could be reading of great, insightful works, many of them produced locally. There can be time for reflection (a kind of guided meditation), and a talking circle, in which everyone has the chance to share something of importance that they care about.
How will we advertise the meeting? We need to point out that we are looking for anyone in need who wants more than success and happiness – who is striving for beauty and goodness in the world. Before the end of the meeting, we should ask participants to think about their goal in life, their hopes and dreams. And we can introduce them to our grants for those entering Visionary society (see other program). Also, resources for help should be available.
