Cohousing-L Mailing List: Opening Ritual

[Meryl Birn (mbirn]

Our group, Yellow Plum Cohousing, is in the fairly early stages of becoming.
We have four committed families and a hunk of land.

At a recent meeting, we discussed a desire to have some kind of ritual at
the start of the meeting, to help us to create a sense of community, and
help remind us of what we are building.  In "The Cohousing Handbook" book,
they celebrated the group's identity by visualizing an empty chair as this
new entity.   We are looking for something like that, but something simpler
that we can do at each meeting.

Has any group created a such a ritual?  Any ideas you can share?  Other
ideas for creating that joint sense of purpose?

Thanks,
Meryl Birn
