Hi Nontheist Friends,
Just heading for Quaker Meeting at San Francisco Friends' School, which meets for about 35 minutes once a month near 14th and Valencia. I haven't been to it before.
I'd like to invite NtFs to an online Quaker Meeting for Meditation in a Google + group video Hangout this Saturday for 15 minutes from 7:45-8am Pacific Time. Here's the Apple Dictionary definition of meditation: "think deeply or focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation." I choose this word for this monthly Meeting opportunity carefully, and to complement current f/Friendly language "Quaker Meeting for Worship," with many personal f/Friendly concerns about the word 'worship.'
I'd like to begin this 15 minute NtF f/Friendly Meeting for Meditation opportunity, monthly even, also vis-a-vis Quaker-informed World University and School (which is seeking its first high school applicants this autumn, to matriculate at MIT OCW-centric WUaS in the autumn of 2014 - http:// worlduniversityandschool. blogspot.com/2013/11/applying- to-world-university-and- school.html; WUaS is STEM-centric, secular, atheist, and friendly as we've discussed in the monthly business meeting a few years ago). I'm a little inspired by San Francisco Friends School in combining Quaker Meeting for Meditation with this startup University and School. {I'm also inspired by the depth of meditation in warm water in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool}.
This NtF WUaS Quaker Meeting for Meditation this Saturday also precedes World University and School's open monthly business meeting in the manner of Quakers - http:// worlduniversityandschool. blogspot.com/2013/11/november- 9-2013-wuas-monthly-business. html - and is also inspired by San Francisco Friends' Meeting 2nd Sundays Quaker Meeting preceding Quaker Business Meeting.
Invitations to the Google + group video Hangout to follow this Saturday, a few minutes prior to this online NtF WUaS Quaker Meeting for Meditation.
With f/Friendly greetings.
Scott

Nontheist Friends,
This online NtF Quaker Meeting for Meditation will meet in a Google + group video Hangout, experimentally, on the 2nd Saturdays of the month from 7:45-8am Pacific Time (here's a Time converter - http://www.timeanddate.com/ worldclock/converter.html)
In addition to planning to send out the web site URL address for the Google + group video Hangout shortly before this Meeting, the address should also be posted publicly here at my G+ Profile page (for helianth@gmail.com) here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/ 118114165587746804948/posts.
This is an interesting experiment. In terms of sharing in this brief f/Friendly Meeting, people can speak in these group video conferencing, as well as text.
With fFriendly regards,
Scott
