Topic: Jeder Institute Risk Jedi 'COVID-19'
Dear fellow members,
It was recommended today that due to the potential severity of significant harm from COVID-19 (Corona Virus) that
all Jeder Institute members be invited to gather at the below mentioned Risk Jedi to discuss implications to the people we support, our families and loved ones, our work, finances, health etc.
Dee, Meredith, Lynn and Michelle have worked swiftly to produce some great guidelines already. Please check them out on our Shared DRIVE: RISK JEDI FOLDER.
The Jedi meetings will occur weekly every Monday over the next four weeks. Hopefully we’ll go back to business as usual after that! 😊.
Personally, I’m finding myself with a survivalist mindset more and more often. It’s gotta be all those hours I spent playing Zombie Apocalypse video games with Mile! 😊
It is a critical time for making many important decisions, for community gathering and strengthening.
Please join us. See you there.
Aleks

Please join us. Meredith will remind us of the dress-code. M?...

Thanks Yvonne, Michelle and Dee for replying with your apologies. I'm here on Zoom atm, just in case someone wants to chat, debrief, ask questions (me included). Probably a good thing that nobody needs the meeting. Its 7.25 and I'm signing out - a little relieved but more so disappointed in myself for being here in the first place. Not an isolated thought btw. I've been wondering about Michelle's question for the past 12 months.
I'm feeling frustrated enough that I could easily write a 2500 word paper on Jeder, belonging, stronger together, collaboration, self management. But then a self centered thought - "just mind your own business Aleks and let others choose their own path", convinces me to apply an apathetic mindset! I'm off to be with my little clan having dinner and lighting a fire in the back yard. Later

Hi Aleks,
Sorry to hear you are feeling this frustration alone! I think the space you have held for 4 consecutive weeks has been amazing! Maybe we could have a summary of what's happened for those who haven't been to any or all of them? Maybe this will serve your need to write a paper but also give other members a run-down on what they've missed?
Just an idea?
It might also be that after a month of pretty intense times for people, we are settling in a bit - how do we keep this on top?
Hope your backyard fire was nurturing!
Dee...

Hey @Aleks Jovanovic thank you so much for holding this space so beautifully. Im sorry i didnt make the meeting I have not stopped for weeks now and Im feeling the stretch. I had some email issues which meant i didnt have any emails for 6 days and have only just got them back thanks to Chris IT guru!
I'm sorry to hear of your frustrations and i do feel you. Sending virtual hugs.
I hope your family fire & dinner was soul enriching.

Dear Dee and Meredith, Thanks for your kind words. Crazy days indeed. I must admit that my tone was a little disturbing (a reflection of my overall feelings yesterday). I may still write that paper Dee, give me a few months :). I'm very privileged to be working with Jeder - alongside so many strong, wise and beautiful people. Onwards and upwards from here. Good to great!

Aleks, as I said, I love your authenticity - I would rather read your frustration than know you sat alone with it - same for any member!
I would also be happy to be your shadow-editor on your paper! Haha!

Hey Aleks,
I hope all is well. Staying safe and well with extra hand washing.
I'm disappointed that I didn't join you because of breakdown in communication unfortunately. I texted you to check if the meeting was going to go ahead. You posted on loomio that the meeting was going ahead. I didnt check the loomio and I didn't get a response to my text. I assumed that it was not on given it was a public holiday.
Communication communication system. How I would love to have the 365 office operating system to improve communication to some degree.
We may need to consider the many communication platforms that we use.
You are doing a great job in leading us to be and keep safe during this difficult time.
Is it still on for next three Monday?
Once again I'm sorry for the missed opportunity and thanks in advance for the time ahead.
