2020 Virtual Jedi Gathering is a GO!!!

I've been working on the initial logistics of this all day, and hopefully by the end of this week (if not this week, next) I'll have a complete schedule for you. The dates are now 12-15 June 2020. We're going to be using a combination of Discord and Free Conference Call Video Conferencing to get the ball rolling.

We'll host live webinars on Free Conference Call's video conferencing. In contrast to Zoom, the free version allows for 1000 participants (not that we think it will get that high) and an unlimited amount of time. Zoom only allows for 100 guests and a 40 minute time limit.

Some of the webinars I know you can look forward to are-
A meditation led by Karen Ticknor-Schwob (An admin at the FB group Jedi Church)
A webinar on using writing for personal growth (both fiction and non-fiction) from an author which specializes in LGBT literature (Jackie Meyer, from Institute for Jedi Realists Studies)
Herbology with Crystal Neumann of Indiana Jedi
And Cooking with Ross Greenberg of Chicago Jedi*
We have a few more that are willing to do a webinar, but they haven't committed to their topic just yet.

*We are looking at having this 2-3 nights of the gathering. We'll provide you with a cooking list ahead of time so you can follow along and share a common meal with the rest of the attendees that participated . We got the idea for this from the fact that we at the physical gatherings we tend to pitch in together and cook, and then enjoy the same meal.


While we aren't running a webinar, we'll have a Discord Server dedicated to the Virtual Jedi Gathering specifically. It will be closed either the night that we end the gathering, or when I wake up the next morning. In either case, we have some things planned for that too. Here are some of the downtime activities you can look forward to-

Arisaig is working on a workout video we can all get on board with.
A local Jedi and I are working on a Role-Playing Game we can run (this may or may not be moved to Free Conference Call, we're still working out the details)
I installed a Chess Bot onto the server I'm building, so we can run a chess game.
Video/Audio Chat
A Music Room with Rythm Bot

If any of you that are Discord Savvy have ideas for a game bot you would like to see, let me know and I'll look into it. . If you can think of anything you'd like to do, let me know so I can create Discord server space for it. ^^

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

This will be good.

Ally's Watch Party!
Missed a workshop? We're giving you a second chance to watch it as a community.

never mind I see it all on the picture

hey could a separate virtual gathering be held every year for those who can't make It to the physical ones?

I will certainly do my best to attend these! Friday I'll be working but should be able to join afterwards and over the weekend I should be able to make them during the day

If this goes well, I'm looking at seeing if we can run a virtual gathering every holiday season.

That is cool , ally

yes but in what season?
fall
winter
spring
or summer

Most likely the winter. I most commonly hear it to refer to the time between Thanksgiving and shortly after New Year.

That would be a great time not to travel and spend money as well as refresh connections.
