12:00p.m.-1:00p.m. -- "Invocational Writing Circle"

If you were there last month you experienced it, if you weren't there you'll have another chance. This is a very special work opportunity that really uses the group to perform a task. We will meet in a circle to compose poetry or other texts together. Experiments with this method have produced interesting collaborative texts, something other or larger than one person alone might write. No prior experience is necessary, and you won't even need a pen or pencil. You are welcome to join in this circle--the more the better--to explore creativity in an electronic environment, a new paradigm for group efforts defying separations of time and space. -- Iven Lourie

"The first Being obligation is to be present with attention" Samuel Avital is present for this vital discourse with E.J. wherein one student is put on "Lookout" for the Messiah and another is taken on a journey up "Shit Creek" to try and retrieve her life mantram. We will use the technology of audio streaming-http://www.realplayer.com- to listen to a short excerpt of this talk tape in the Cosmo Street environment and work together to formulate a group question in regards to the excerpt, send the question "up" and see what answer comes back. -- Cloister Recordings

Death is the great adventure. There is no escape from death, and there is no alternative to preparation for anyone wishing a conscious death to culminate a conscious life. E.J.
