Documentary Nights

So how bout a weekly or monthly meetup where individuals offer up ideas for different documentaries that would be educational and informative to watch. The selections would be offered up and voted on and ultimately watched at various homes or local business establishments.

I propose documentaries that are

  • socially inspiring
  • raise environmental and social justice awareness
  • educational
I also think it would be neat to offer up activities prior to and after the event. I propose a session of yoga and or meditation prior to the event and I also propose a discussion afterwards that is accompanied by edible products that support the mission of the documentary or group goals. An example would be fair trade and organic coffee served or perhaps some locally grown vegetable snacks, possibly even some ethic potluck, dishes. Also if in the future local or global social.environmental groups or local business is sponsoring such event they may provide the edible products. 

There should be key affirmations and mission statements created.
example: Are the steps we are taking as a group wise steps using our resources wisely, such as, using recyclable or washable cups and or dishes. Are we carpooling to meet up, etc...

More on this later...
