APRIL 2007 FLOW ACTIVATION CIRCLE MEETINGS

About FLOW Activation Circles:

FLOW Activation Circles exist to bring like-and-open-minded people together to explore FLOW-related ideas, celebrate inspiring projects, share resources, make connections, support each others’ entrepreneurial initiatives, and advance the FLOW vision in their local community and beyond.

This month's theme is Peace Through Commerce. We encourage you to read "Understanding the Power of Economic Freedom to Create Peace" by FLOW CEO & Chief Visionary Officer, Michael Strong, before the meeting.

Desired Outcomes:

• Deeper, shared understanding of the FLOW Vision and Principles to build the foundation for community and collaborative action; and, specifically, shared understanding of the principles underlying Peace Through Commerce leading to a commitment to collaborate to produce a Peace Through Commerce event
• Connections between participants facilitating support for your individual work/projects, addressing your needs while leveraging your skills, knowledge, resources, etc. in support of others
• Enhancements on FAC meeting structure and process to make them even more productive and fun
