Liam/Simha 				5/26/2014

Liam - Has had time because Catering work slowed, been gardening with Mom - been getting into botany - making mindmaps on plant families - it been very interesting. 

Liam suggests to me - Find a specific offering “5 page paper” 8-16 hours a week to give to ME as my Gaia OPs’ to stack the functions of Gaia U and ME - Education PC patterns - 1-2 meetings during a day that is my ME-Gaia Day - 

by giving one day a week to developing a program that they want to develope it is also working for them so there isn’t this disparity of “same time worked” as others. 

What would be the most beneficial stacking for ME Farm and Hearth and institute? Taking them on as a client for designing - What are your (ME) objectives and needs? How can I best be of service? let them guide the service. 

Wholistic Teaching - 1 - specifically this site and their program - 
		          2 - A more broad spectrum teaching project “PPP”

- Creating Multi-media for ME and social media - time for outreach can be a part of my “Days off”. 

How interns program could be improved to get the most out of their experience - 

other project to stack perennial Polyculture gardens and mushrooms - 

Reminder from last time - Permaculture Pedagogy Patterns from last time - feels like it is a huge project - remembering that a small project prototype for pattern language. - “What are they doing well that you want to illustrate in patterns” or “What do they most need articulated”

“illustrate the patterns for one thing you know well this summer.” Choosing one thing will help ground the pattern language so you can move foreward with a bigger picture pattern languages.  - create a weekend workshop that will benefit ME - 

- Feeling good has picked two vast projects - one huge one on health - systems on what he is doing day to day - play back into OP on health. Another on land-stewardship while he is down in the Baja on his land, grafting, seed starting, seed saving - This summer has a lot of health things going on - traditional chinese medicine - so many diagnosis techniques. Seeing archetypal systems as a way to choose what techniques to use on which person. Overlaying different systems from different traditions and seeing how they fit into his own understanding and observations/diagnostics. Level 2 Reiki - going for master rekik - perspectives on stress and nutrition - the reason he is doing this is it is his present income yet hasn’t put the time into  creating resources for people to refer to - part of the process of defining himself as a healer - A big part of the process is to find out how he is creating his process - needs to work on how he is evaluating his work and quantitatively - Master thesis theme seems to be emerging as - How we are-localizing - Health out of allopathic to herbalism and selfcare “re-localization” this realization was a huge load off - “what does re-localization mean to me and why is it important in all these different arenas of life” - Scale (scaling down?) and relocalization are the two big ideas. met a chocolatier who was using herbs in his chocolates got inspired to create his own study program instead of signing up for another. Design process - creating his own agenda and his own curriculum. How to articulate what is natural to you to help others in their process of creating design courses and curriculum. 

Wants to have the LIPD as an annual process even after Gaia - remember and refine his mission statement. Wants more quantifiable systems in templates that he can reuse and tweek year after year. Looking back on old LIPD and seeing 

Next steps - How to quantify my progress for my LIPD and work on getting a clear offering for ME owners as a stacked function between creating a course (or other design work) for them while working on Gaia U OPs. 

spend the next 30 min getting thoughts down around what  I had clarified for him; how he benefits the knowledge commons through his natural process of creating curriculum/workshops (just needs articulation and on the Matrix of quantifying his progress.

Nicole Vasper had some good matrix to quantifying her progress.
