Was good/Do again

• Silence before meals/meetings
• Having it open for a variety of events
• Duration: 1 month
• Time-period: mid-Jan to mid-Feb
• Having weekends free

Could have been better/Change

• Improve scheduling (less stress/time taken)
  • A lot of complexity came from external schedules
  • Possibly have a 'core' time which most participants try to attend.
• Have a clearer 'frame' in terms of handling day-visitors.
• Have a clearer intention of what the time should be for.
• Choose better name
• Don't have overlapping with other internal events
• Have more emotions-oriented sessions, including regular sharing circles
• Discussions haven't lead to many changes yet, and it's not sure if further changes will happen.
• Not having big events scheduled for at least one week after the end.
