00:00:00

James Redenbaugh: How's it going?

00:00:01

Sarah John: Hello.

00:00:01

James Redenbaugh: This meeting is being recorded.

00:00:03

Marlene Potthoff: Good.

00:00:05

James Redenbaugh: Good to see you both.

00:00:08

Sarah John: You too. You're back home.

00:00:11

Marlene Potthoff: Back home finally and healthy again.

00:00:17

James Redenbaugh: Somewhat. I'm going to a doctor today. Feeling lots better, but I think I have a parasite. Oh dear. But it's springtime. The equinox came.

00:00:38

Sarah John: Cool.

00:00:39

Marlene Potthoff: How long were you in Thailand?

00:00:42

James Redenbaugh: Three weeks. Well, a few days in Turkey and then rest of the time in Thailand.

00:00:50

Marlene Potthoff: Cool.

00:00:52

James Redenbaugh: Big trip.

00:00:53

Sarah John: Big trip.

00:00:58

James Redenbaugh: Is Elizabeth joining us?

00:01:01

Sarah John: I believe so.

00:01:03

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, I think so too.

00:01:10

James Redenbaugh: Maybe in the meantime you can catch me up on what you discussed last week. I saw your emails and the description of what we want to build by the end of April and. But yeah, is there anything else to share on that?

00:01:31

Sarah John: Sure. I think mainly we talked about for example, like programming, how we're going to figure out the schedule and with who and things like this. But we also talked a lot about alternatives for the video conferencing. Is it zoom? Is it mixly? Is it one of these other things? I think I sent you a list that ChatGPT provided to me and also the other functions like to have this embedded calendar where people can click, see what's on the schedule and then click on the various events. And I also asked our AI friend about that and I think also sent you those links, just if it's helpful. But I'm curious if you have any experience with any of these.

00:02:28

Sarah John: And I think the main thing to do today, but let's see also what Elizabeth thinks is, yeah, go through this MVP for April and then discuss what we need for these different to decide what kind of video conferencing do we want, what kind of calendar do we want and what else needs to be in place to get things together for April. What's the plan? So to speak.

00:03:06

James Redenbaugh: Cool.

00:03:07

Sarah John: Yeah.

00:03:08

James Redenbaugh: Great.

00:03:09

Sarah John: Hi, Elizabeth.

00:03:11

Elizabeth Debold: Hey. Hey.

00:03:13

Sarah John: Good to see you.

00:03:15

Elizabeth Debold: Good to see you all.

00:03:16

James Redenbaugh: Welcome.

00:03:18

Elizabeth Debold: Thank you.

00:03:21

James Redenbaugh: How are you doing?

00:03:22

Elizabeth Debold: We've had a good day. Good. We had a good day. Thomas had an MRI and his tumor shrinking.

00:03:30

James Redenbaugh: Yay.

00:03:31

Sarah John: Fantastic.

00:03:32

James Redenbaugh: Wonderful.

00:03:33

Sarah John: Fantastic news.

00:03:35

Elizabeth Debold: Well done. Yeah. Yeah, good. He's. He's gonna make me coffee. And I told him he doesn't because he's one handed and his right side is a half. I said, you don't have to bring it down because it's hard to go down these curved. This curved stairs. I said, you don't have to bring it down. Just let me know when it's ready. I'll just run up and pick it up. And he said, but now I have less Of a tumor. I can. I can do that. I can make it. I can come down the stairs with a cup of. Holding a cup of coffee and not like kill it or me or whatever. Yeah, he's. He's a joker.

00:04:28

Sarah John: That's wonderful.

00:04:30

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, it's really good news.

00:04:35

Sarah John: And you also sound like you got over your cold.

00:04:38

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, pretty much. Or it's just a little glue in there.

00:04:43

Sarah John: Yeah, it lingers around this glue.

00:04:45

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, it's like. But otherwise good. How are you James? How are you feeling? How's your. Do you think that you. You have critters. Critters visiting at an intimate level?

00:05:01

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I think I picked up some hitchhikers who went into some stowaways, illegal aliens. But I'm seeing a doctor today. I'm feeling much better. That's good. But still feeling weird.

00:05:23

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. You can get these things. They're often not fun.

00:05:34

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. The cost of going across the world.

00:05:39

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:05:43

James Redenbaugh: So yeah, were just talking a bit about video platforms, scope, calendar options and. Yeah. Where should we start? What should we get into first?

00:06:00

Sarah John: Yeah, just to put something on the table and then we can see if that gives an overview. But we could just confirm if kind of this description, this MVP is. We all agree on that's where we want to go I think to talk about exactly. Like you just named the video conferencing platform, the calendar platform and maybe other functions that are needed. Like I'm not sure where it is with the mail system that you use currently or sign up system. But just to. If there's anything within that to discuss and also the relation between the communiverse and the new monastery page. Just what are all the back end things we need to talk. Work through before.

00:07:03

Elizabeth Debold: Exactly.

00:07:04

Sarah John: Before you can go and start working.

00:07:09

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. So yeah, let's start with the MVP description that you shared here. I read through it and basically we have an intro page and a landing page which includes the. The doorway to the chapel and the entrance to the practice space and schedule of activities. So in essence this MVP can be rather simple, straightforward. I kind of. There's not a ton of rooms and cloisters in this. In this monastery yet. But I see that the feeling and experience that people have when they come here is very important. We want it to feel sacred and unique and we need it to work for them. We need it to be usable. We need folks to be able to see what's happening, sign up for things and. And get into the space. So then we have the question of what is.

00:08:39

James Redenbaugh: What do we use for These practice rooms. And what do we use for the displaying the programming, the. The calendar of events? Do I have that right?

00:08:58

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, I think that maybe the one thing. There's a sales. A registration page or an overview page. Before getting into the chapel room and the practice room, people have to sign up and be signed in order to get to that page that you were describing. So there's a page in front of it.

00:09:26

James Redenbaugh: Cool. And so the programming.

00:09:29

Elizabeth Debold: Tell me about how my coffee made it downstairs.

00:09:33

Sarah John: Congratulations.

00:09:36

Elizabeth Debold: It's monastery coffee, he tells me. Cool. It looks like a stained glass window.

00:09:49

James Redenbaugh: Nice.

00:09:51

Elizabeth Debold: Head in and say hi. Hi. Bye. Hi.

00:09:58

James Redenbaugh: Hi, Thomas.

00:09:59

Sarah John: Hi, Thomas. Congratulations.

00:10:02

James Redenbaugh: Thank you. Good to see you. I told you.

00:10:05

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. We have success.

00:10:07

Sarah John: Great news.

00:10:08

Marlene Potthoff: Great news.

00:10:09

Elizabeth Debold: Yes. He has less things up. Going on up there that. What do you mean? Less things that are not the rest of the organism. Yeah, yeah. Multi perspectival. Yeah, that's hard to say without a two. Without a language deficit. What to do. Multi perspectival. That's hard. What do you mean, deficit? What do I mean by deficit?

00:10:44

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:10:48

Elizabeth Debold: You got me on that one. You're doing that every day to show you changed. Showed me today. It's. It's amazing, James.

00:11:06

James Redenbaugh: The Alhambra. Yeah, it's unbelievable. Yeah, a great precedent for the Interbeing Monastery. Yeah.

00:11:14

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, let's work on that. Okay. Bye, sweetheart.

00:11:23

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, bye. See you, Thomas.

00:11:27

Elizabeth Debold: Bye.

00:11:27

Marlene Potthoff: Bye.

00:11:33

James Redenbaugh: Thomas sent me this beautiful video of this. This mosque in. In Iran.

00:11:42

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:11:44

James Redenbaugh: And then my algorithm fed me this. This video on the Alhambr, which is this. This palace and including mosques and, you know, basically a monastery.

00:12:09

Elizabeth Debold: Whoa, what's that?

00:12:11

James Redenbaugh: In Spain? This is one of the domes you have.

00:12:17

Elizabeth Debold: Wow.

00:12:17

Sarah John: It's unbelievable.

00:12:19

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, it's really unbelievable.

00:12:21

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. I want to go.

00:12:24

Elizabeth Debold: Have you been there too?

00:12:26

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, more than 40 years ago, but it was really.

00:12:29

Elizabeth Debold: Wow.

00:12:30

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, wow.

00:12:37

Elizabeth Debold: Wow.

00:12:37

James Redenbaugh: So, yeah, another good.

00:12:39

Sarah John: Fantastic.

00:12:50

James Redenbaugh: Anyway, yeah. Not to get too distracted by it.

00:12:56

Elizabeth Debold: Inspired. Inspired. Did you get your hair?

00:13:03

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, it fell off.

00:13:05

Elizabeth Debold: Okay.

00:13:12

James Redenbaugh: So, yeah. Sales page, landing page, chapel, practice rune. Wanting it all to feel sacred, special. But also, I imagine, a part of the evolved world universe.

00:13:34

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:13:36

James Redenbaugh: Not. Not entirely separate. So that the. The video platform is an ongoing question. The mixly alternative. Sarah John, you generated this long list of options here. I've looked at some of these in the past as options and I did my own consulting with AI and it kind of narrowed it down to whereby Jitsi and Daily Co, all of them will require a bit of. At least a bit of custom coding and integration to make it Work.

00:14:46

Elizabeth Debold: But is that possible?

00:14:48

James Redenbaugh: I think so. I think it's possible. I want to spend some more time digging into those and maybe doing a test on the webflow site and it's. And then we can also see what, how the pricing works out because they all have different pricing models and a lot of it is dependent on use and it should be set up in a way where if nobody's using it, then there's no, like nothing's ha. It's if nobody's in the room, it doesn't exist until you open the door. Yeah, but if somebody opens the door, you know, then it starts a meeting that anyone can join. And ideally we could see who. See that somebody's in there, you know, and maybe even get a notification. People are hanging out in the practice space.

00:16:01

Elizabeth Debold: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

00:16:04

James Redenbaugh: Depends. Depends.

00:16:07

Elizabeth Debold: We don't want too many.

00:16:12

James Redenbaugh: Practicing in the practice space. So tell me more about the programming we're imagining and is that taking place in the practice space and who's creating it and how is it connected to and separate from other programming that's happening and evolve?

00:16:34

Elizabeth Debold: Do you want to do that, Sarah John, or you want me to.

00:16:36

Sarah John: I can give it a go.

00:16:38

Elizabeth Debold: Go for it.

00:16:39

Sarah John: So my understanding is that at the moment we're talking about two spaces, the chapel and the practice space. And the chapel would work rather like, if not exactly like the chapel that exists in the communiverse at the moment in that it's accessible 247 so anyone can. The chapel door is always open. And that there would be programmed specific times within the chapel for let's say a more formal meditation time. And this would be daily, at least in the weekdays. The current European time, which I think has been a very long standing event amongst the Germans, at 6:30 every day. And then we're looking to program one or two extra slots that would be more US centric, that would just happen once or twice a week in the US evening.

00:17:54

Sarah John: But like just to underline within those program slots, anyone should be able to work, walk in anytime and meditate.

00:18:06

Elizabeth Debold: Oh, in between. In between. It's an, it's an open chapel. So that in between the regular session time. That's what, that's what you mean.

00:18:16

Sarah John: That's what I'm just saying.

00:18:17

Elizabeth Debold: Go there.

00:18:18

Sarah John: Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah.

00:18:20

Marlene Potthoff: And could one join the chapel also during the formal times?

00:18:28

Sarah John: Jump in halfway?

00:18:30

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah.

00:18:30

Sarah John: You mean.

00:18:31

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah.

00:18:32

Elizabeth Debold: Well, we would recommend that people. I mean that would be interesting because it would be great if there was something that triggered. That says meditation in session, you know, so that if people came and it was halfway through that they wouldn't interrupt.

00:18:58

Sarah John: And basic functionality. It would be ideal that the microphones are automatically turned off as soon as you enter the space. Like, I know this is a function in Zoom. You can set this as a possibility in mixly. It's not set like that. And it's always. There's always a little bit of a can everyone turn their microphones off?

00:19:28

James Redenbaugh: Moment. Yeah.

00:19:30

Elizabeth Debold: It's probably not used as a meditation chapel very often.

00:19:35

Sarah John: Yeah, I think so.

00:19:37

Elizabeth Debold: Mixly thing.

00:19:39

Sarah John: They didn't have that in there.

00:19:44

James Redenbaugh: Stories. Yeah.

00:19:49

Elizabeth Debold: And then to continue, James, then the.

00:19:56

Sarah John: The.

00:19:56

Elizabeth Debold: Do you want to continue with what would be happening in the practice room, Sarah John?

00:20:01

Sarah John: Sure. So then down the hall there's a practice room. And that is mainly, I think, if I'm not mistaken, monthly events. One of those monthly events is the interbeing lab. And I assume the German and the English would happen in there. Question mark. Or just the English at the moment.

00:20:28

Elizabeth Debold: Oh, that's a. We'd have to sort that out. Yeah.

00:20:35

Sarah John: Something to think about.

00:20:37

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah.

00:20:39

Elizabeth Debold: That has a different channel so far in. But. Yeah, yeah. The inter being lab. The. The lectio divina Sunday practice. What else is happening in there?

00:20:55

Sarah John: The tea dialogues.

00:20:57

Elizabeth Debold: Dialogues. Yeah.

00:21:00

Marlene Potthoff: Qigong sessions could be happening there.

00:21:04

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:21:07

Sarah John: Essentially. Yeah, yeah. And they're more programmed events. So this room would only be open when those rooms. When those events are happening.

00:21:23

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, cool.

00:21:26

Sarah John: Yeah. And then people. Yeah.

00:21:28

Elizabeth Debold: And the idea, James, is that this is a space for practice and teaching spaces or instruction or learning or teaching programs and so forth that teach. These different practices are. Are part of. We evolve. So this is really a practice space. I'm sorry, go ahead, Marlena.

00:22:05

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. So they stay on the normal. On the World webpage. And the practices where you are meeting to practice consciousness work, so to say, means also that they are open offerings. But I could see also the regular interbeeing lab there. Not only the open one.

00:22:31

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:22:34

Marlene Potthoff: That would be every Tuesday. And then we have to think of both the German and the English. Or if that adds a too high complexity to it.

00:22:47

Elizabeth Debold: But actually it would. I mean, we could come together and then break up into breakout rooms. But that. Which could be cool. But that also implies that we need breakout rooms in the practice space.

00:23:03

Marlene Potthoff: But that we should think about. Because also with the T dialogues, it could be that we need breakout rooms.

00:23:08

Sarah John: We definitely need it for the T dialogues.

00:23:11

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, yeah.

00:23:15

Marlene Potthoff: And from my sense I would say it's two to four events each week or two to five events each week on the long run.

00:23:28

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. And that this is the minimum viable product. This is not inviting people in to do. To teach practices and then hold spaces for practice in the monastery, which is something that we would like to do. Like Marlena mentioned qigong. Like to invite Kelly to teach qigong through. We evolve and then hold practice sessions in the monastery.

00:24:12

Marlene Potthoff: Means like we're staying together without Kelly.

00:24:18

Elizabeth Debold: No. Well, it could be without Kelly and using a video, that'd be something that we would have to develop with her.

00:24:30

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. Okay. And how is that different then from the practice groups in the communiverse?

00:24:43

Elizabeth Debold: That's the practice groups in the communiverse. The live rooms.

00:24:48

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, live rooms. Or where the recordings are stored or where people can write about the experience.

00:24:57

Elizabeth Debold: That's for practitioners. That's for practitioners. People who want to. Want to develop in the practice. And that's another level of commitment.

00:25:11

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. And if they want to share about their practice, like go to the community.

00:25:18

Elizabeth Debold: Yes, like we do with the Catalyst.

00:25:23

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. A kind of user friendly way. How I can switch from the practice room to the communiverse.

00:25:34

Elizabeth Debold: Yes, we would need to have that, but that's for the next phase of development of the monastery would be the integration with Circle.

00:25:51

Sarah John: And potentially we might need the groundwork done now to make sure it's possible.

00:25:59

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, yeah, we need to make sure.

00:26:02

Marlene Potthoff: Just let me know what we want, what we are thriving for.

00:26:06

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. James told me that he. That he had a consulting call with folks at somebody at Circle and they're talking to hear about what their plans are. And he said, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but they're talking about ways of integrating Circle fully into your own website.

00:26:35

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. As of September, actually there's already this headless, that's what they call it, capability for developers to take the Circle platform and bring it into anything. So we could bring it into the webflow site. It's quite complex and I think we need the Circle business level. I'm not sure what.

00:27:14

Elizabeth Debold: I think costs.

00:27:17

James Redenbaugh: Maybe we have Pro, but it's promising. And even without that, there's. There's things that we can do with their API, which keeps evolving all the time as well.

00:27:38

Elizabeth Debold: API is the hooky parts. API are all the hooks between programs.

00:27:48

James Redenbaugh: Yep, yep.

00:27:53

Elizabeth Debold: Ouch. 360amonth. No, thank you.

00:27:57

James Redenbaugh: Ouch.

00:27:58

Elizabeth Debold: I think we have business. Do we have business?

00:28:04

James Redenbaugh: I think we. I think we just have Pro.

00:28:06

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, I think we do Too.

00:28:07

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, yeah, I think so too. Yeah.

00:28:10

Sarah John: Huh.

00:28:11

Elizabeth Debold: But we're also grandfathered. It means that we got circle when circle was just starting, and they said at the time it was like $99 or euros. If you go to this level, we'll give you all these extra things that you can keep forever and never have to pay more.

00:28:45

Marlene Potthoff: And maybe they have also special conditions for NGOs.

00:28:51

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. At this point.

00:28:52

Marlene Potthoff: At this point, yeah.

00:28:55

James Redenbaugh: Mm. Cool.

00:29:02

Elizabeth Debold: Do you want to show. Do you want to show us some your circle customization that you. That you've. That you've done recently?

00:29:12

James Redenbaugh: Sure.

00:29:15

Elizabeth Debold: Because our. Our circle.

00:29:18

Marlene Potthoff: So at the Moment we pay €33 per month. No, let me see. No, 99.

00:29:26

James Redenbaugh: 99, yeah.

00:29:28

Marlene Potthoff: 99, yeah. Yeah.

00:29:30

Elizabeth Debold: So it's in between professional and business.

00:29:41

James Redenbaugh: So, yeah, this is mostly CSS customizations that we've done here, but we've gone a lot deeper, figured out how to do more stuff. This is Circle three, I think. We haven't yet upgraded the community to Circle three.

00:30:02

Elizabeth Debold: No.

00:30:04

James Redenbaugh: There's some. There's some new features and figured out how to add kind of special sections here. So Originals is a kind of sub brand within Endemic. We could do something similar where the Interbeading Monastery has its own sub area in the navigation here. And then when you go into it, the pages could look. Be branded in their own way.

00:30:34

Elizabeth Debold: So that it would look more like the Interbeing Monastery. Whatever we. However we create is.

00:30:42

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:30:44

Sarah John: Okay.

00:30:44

Marlene Potthoff: That means it's related to the overall branding of that page, but it has its own possibilities to brand, to be branded differently.

00:30:54

James Redenbaugh: That's right.

00:30:56

Marlene Potthoff: Okay.

00:30:57

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Yeah. So I need to look deeper into these videos possibilities. We want it to work not only with webflow, but also Member Stack. I think that we'll still use.

00:31:23

Elizabeth Debold: Is Member Stack what we're still using or what happened to outset A.

00:31:29

James Redenbaugh: We never made the. Made the switch.

00:31:36

Elizabeth Debold: Okay. Because I thought. I thought Peter was working on that.

00:31:45

James Redenbaugh: I'm not sure I should check with him.

00:31:48

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:31:50

Sarah John: What function does that perform?

00:31:54

Elizabeth Debold: Login. Log in and keep your personal profile and knowing what you're up to and giving you access. Because we need a seamless, which we've never had quite a seamless ability to. I joined the Inner Being Monastery. I'm just a member of the community. I have free access to these things. And then if I upgrade to being a practitioner, that it doesn't completely mess me up, that it opens up other things and that. That's seamless. It's not. I have two logins now. Things are confusing to me or now I want to take a course and oops. That asks for another login and you know that kind of thing those kind of messes that you can get into easily.

00:33:01

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah and also we need to speak about how is the registration process for this Will this be via Fienta Will this be via I don't know is there a registration process to related to member Stack or to Circle and where does this go then? Yeah to air table and then we have all the zapier difficulties we now have. How is that? I think that's.

00:33:32

Elizabeth Debold: I think that was also the point of out setta was to. Was to eliminate the zapier Sarah John if you don't know is. Yeah, I remember yeah the little connecting tool that is a little cranky.

00:33:50

Sarah John: Yeah.

00:33:53

Elizabeth Debold: It'S like here hold. Hold my hand like oops, pulled it back you know. Yeah so there has to be a smooth pathway passageway to all the different parts of the website from because hopefully what we're. I mean this is always that we forefront the Interbeing Monastery but that ends up being a launching point for many people into other parts of the website other aspects of the work.

00:34:38

James Redenbaugh: I think Peter to see where we've ended up with Outseta but either Outset or number Stack will be the access that will get you into webflow and Circle but then we would also need it to work with the video whatever video platform we use so when you go into the chapel the users the user would be logged into that meeting with their proper so that's a hurdle to figure out how to do for sure. The programming, the calendar I saw those two calendaring apps you shared Sarah John and I don't know if we need either of them or we can just use the webflow cms. I'm not sure Timely looks interesting. I want to look into this deeper because we.

00:36:32

James Redenbaugh: We want it to be easy for people in the Evolved world ecosystem to create new programs and have them work so that people can sign up for it and when they're signed up they get ideally it's added to their calendar and they get email notifications and things like that. It's not just about displaying. Displaying the calendar. Right. It's about having it work for people. Is that right?

00:37:09

Marlene Potthoff: That would be ideal but the displays is important because we now have also no display on the Evolve World web page and people are really asking for that so it should be somehow also ideally a system which could work on both on the Evolve World platform and in the inter being monastery. We would also like to have a display on the Evolved World page, that.

00:37:37

Elizabeth Debold: Would be a separate thing from Ander being Monastery. You're saying whatever we choose, we want to do it twice?

00:37:45

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, yeah.

00:37:58

James Redenbaugh: And we've had some issues with the. The event system in Circle. Right.

00:38:07

Elizabeth Debold: I don't know if we've had. It's. It's. I don't. Do you remember what the issues were? I mean, if you. You can fill out an event and you have to. And then it. It shows up to whomever you've invited to. To that event, it seems to work. Okay.

00:38:34

Sarah John: My understanding.

00:38:39

Elizabeth Debold: Go ahead, Sarah John. What were you saying?

00:38:41

Sarah John: My understanding is one of the difficulties of it is more to do with the display of it, the reader, that it's more difficult for people to navigate this big, long list of events one after the other, rather than to see them in the calendar. Yeah. Also because sometimes there might be 10 of the same event in a row, and you think, what is all of this? But it's because there's one of the same program every week for 10 weeks. So it's not like the most straightforward to read unless you understand how it works. And I've heard a few people getting confused by that.

00:39:30

Elizabeth Debold: It may have to do with how Manon sets it up because she's the one that's setting up the events.

00:39:39

Sarah John: Okay.

00:39:46

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. I'm not sure the communiverse is the place to have an event calendar.

00:39:57

Sarah John: I think you might be right.

00:39:59

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. I think that's the. That may be the real problem it's trying to do. Yeah, go ahead.

00:40:13

James Redenbaugh: What if we could figure out the headless API so that the event calendar on Circle could show up on webflow in a nice grid in a calendar.

00:40:38

Elizabeth Debold: If it's robust enough, that would be great.

00:40:48

James Redenbaugh: Cool. I'm looking in the community right now, and there's definitely no global place for events. Right, Right.

00:41:16

Elizabeth Debold: Or actually there is a. Yeah, this one. There's one at the. At the. At the top.

00:41:21

James Redenbaugh: Oh, at the top. Yeah.

00:41:23

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. But then you just get this list, right?

00:41:29

Sarah John: Yeah.

00:41:32

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:41:32

Marlene Potthoff: But it's also made somehow nicely with these little pictures. I have to say, I've never looked this up before.

00:41:43

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. So what if. What if we could take these and essentially have them become posts on. On the webflow site, and then we could have them display into a calendar or however we want, and then they would link back to the community so people can RSVP and stuff like that.

00:42:30

Elizabeth Debold: That could be great if it would give us less programs to mess with.

00:42:39

Sarah John: Just to understand if there's People who. Because as I understand it, not everybody in the monastery will necessarily be in the communiverse.

00:42:51

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, that's also true. You have to register to be in the Inner Being Monastery. And that doesn't give you access to the communiverse.

00:43:07

James Redenbaugh: It doesn't?

00:43:10

Elizabeth Debold: No, not yet. No. Only if you're a practitioner. But we can. These are questions. We can question if it. If it's like, oh, this would be the most elegant way. Let's just, like, have it all work that way. But the problem is, and this may be something to go back to Circle and see if we can beg them. We initially created a private Circle site. They say that's the one thing that you can't undo. Meaning that otherwise it could have been open so that everybody could come into the communiverse. And then all of the core spaces and everything would be private.

00:44:05

Elizabeth Debold: And when you would come in from the public, you would see doors or basically sections that you would go to, and it would say, you have to sign up and become a member or do whatever in order to be able to have access here. And that in retrospect, Manon and I feel we made a mistake and that it would have been much nicer to have everybody be able to have access to the communiverse. And then there wouldn't be so much confusion around it, I think. But I have asked on this in Circle. It's like, is there any way to get it open? And you once programmed it, broke it and programmed it so that it was open. James. But then that create that. That created other complications.

00:45:11

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. I don't even remember how I did that.

00:45:19

Elizabeth Debold: But if. If you can go to Circle and say, hey, is there any way we can. We can get around this sucker? That would be. I think that would be good. What do you guys think?

00:45:32

Sarah John: It seems to make a lot of sense.

00:45:36

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. And then some smaller things, like the chapel, like the Practitioner portal.

00:45:46

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:45:46

Marlene Potthoff: So people get a sense, like the event, like the schedule.

00:45:51

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:45:53

Marlene Potthoff: So that people. And maybe then we have also to differentiate with the calendar. Because we have a calendar. For now, we have the calendar. For example, Catalyst Group. That's also a meeting for people who know whom they are, that they are the catalysts. It's not open to everyone.

00:46:12

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah. But if it was a special category, it's like it is now. Like, you don't see. You wouldn't see them.

00:46:27

Marlene Potthoff Okay. Okay.

00:46:29

Elizabeth Debold: You would possibly get a. A notice that. Or you would see something that would say, to get in here. You need to be a member.

00:46:41

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. Yeah.

00:46:44

Elizabeth Debold: Nice photo.

00:46:46

James Redenbaugh: Thanks. It's strange how I go into an event and then I go back. Now I click back to events, and I get this page where I can filter and it shows me the image previews. But if I click events, it's like a different page where there's not the filters and no image previews.

00:47:18

Elizabeth Debold: Mm, strange.

00:47:20

James Redenbaugh: Oh, I guess I can click that thumbnail view. Oh, there is a calendar view.

00:47:27

Elizabeth Debold: Oh.

00:47:28

Marlene Potthoff: Oh, look at that.

00:47:32

Elizabeth Debold: It's a little. A little naked, but yeah. Mm.

00:47:38

James Redenbaugh: Interesting.

00:47:40

Sarah John: I wonder if it's also in the.

00:47:44

Elizabeth Debold: Version.

00:47:49

Marlene Potthoff: Can you click on this?

00:47:52

James Redenbaugh: Which.

00:47:53

Marlene Potthoff: Can you click on any event and then you get back to that page.

00:47:58

Elizabeth Debold: A little preview thingy.

00:48:01

Sarah John: Wow. Would be interesting. Yeah. If you can set this as the.

00:48:07

Elizabeth Debold: As a default.

00:48:12

James Redenbaugh: Mm. We probably could with some custom code. A default view. Calendar.

00:48:23

Elizabeth Debold: There you go.

00:48:24

Sarah John: There you go.

00:48:25

Marlene Potthoff: Done.

00:48:27

James Redenbaugh: Look at that.

00:48:29

Elizabeth Debold: Okay, problem solved.

00:48:31

Marlene Potthoff: Next, what about reading the user book? Right?

00:48:39

Elizabeth Debold: I don't think we got one with. With. With the program.

00:48:44

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:48:44

Marlene Potthoff: Or the try and error people.

00:48:46

Elizabeth Debold: Right. Mostly error. Yeah.

00:48:55

James Redenbaugh: Well, this is cool. It would be a. It would be great if we could embed this on the web page. Yeah, absolutely. In a night in an even nicer way.

00:49:13

Sarah John: And then to talk details. It would be in the inter being monastery. We would not want the same events that are on this calendar right now.

00:49:28

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, that would have to be. That would be.

00:49:32

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, we would want to filter it.

00:49:35

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah.

00:49:38

Marlene Potthoff: And the same is for the evolve page.

00:49:41

Sarah John: Yes.

00:49:48

Elizabeth Debold: Marlena, would you switch. Would you switch the morning meditation to be in the interbeing monastery?

00:50:00

Marlene Potthoff: Yes, I would say. Say so.

00:50:02

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, me too.

00:50:04

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It would take something to take some effort to really bring people there, because the crowd of the morning Meditation is 60 plus the 60 plus group.

00:50:21

Elizabeth Debold: But it should be easier for them. They sign up to be part of it if it works.

00:50:26

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah.

00:50:27

Sarah John: Yeah.

00:50:27

Elizabeth Debold: If they just are able to register for the being part of the interbeing monastery community. And then they can go to the chapel. Okay.

00:50:51

James Redenbaugh: Okay. Yeah. What were you gonna say?

00:50:57

Elizabeth Debold: Timing.

00:51:03

James Redenbaugh: Timing, timing.

00:51:05

Elizabeth Debold: What does this look like?

00:51:11

James Redenbaugh: Good question. Well, I think end of April for MVP is a great target. I want to bring in some more team members like Munya to start. I'd love for Munya to work on the design, and I'll need help from others to start figuring out these more complex tech things. It's. It's good timing for us because we're figuring out similar things for other projects, like even with Circle and. And the Circle API, but also integrating more complex functionality into webflow. So there's a nice overlap there. And we're definitely going to be doing some deep dives into making things work there.

00:52:31

Elizabeth Debold: We would need it built and tested.

00:52:37

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I think that we have some big questions to answer before we can give a definitive yes to having it built and tested by the end of the month. And those questions are about the video platform, how complicated that's going to be to make work, and also the user management. I heard back from Peter. He said that we made a lot of progress into migrating into outseta, but never pulled the trigger on it. He still thinks it's a good option.

00:53:26

Elizabeth Debold: But that's instead of Member Stack.

00:53:31

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, and we can migrate everyone from Member Stack to outseta, but it's another layer of complexity. More if we want to, at the same time kind of switch from Member Stack to Outseta. Of course that's more work to do, but also if that's something we're eventually going to do, better to do it now. So we can build the inter being monastery without seta, but either way, I think we should do some tasks with the video platform to see what's going to work and how hard is it going to be.

00:54:31

Elizabeth Debold: So how would you set up a schedule or a project plan from here? Like, do you need a week to do that? And we meet in a week and find out what's. What's. What?

00:54:48

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, let's meet in a week. I think I've been using the transcripts from my note taker to create these artifacts based on our meanings. And Quad's been really helpful in our creating project plans from that. So we covered a lot here. We also have the work that Sarah John did and the brief that she created. So I can take all that, put that into an artifact and generate a plan. That shouldn't take me long. I can do that. I'm real busy the rest of today, but I could do that tomorrow as like a draft of an action plan for the next few weeks and then we can start to do tests and sync up next week around feasibility and expectations and you know, can we realistically expect to have this done end of April or not?

00:56:28

Elizabeth Debold: Okay.

00:56:36

Marlene Potthoff: And we, at some point I would like to have Peter with us because of the whole back end of the registration process and everything, because he now knows our difficulties and he fixed a lot of that and how can we get that more smooth?

00:56:58

Elizabeth Debold: I want him to know what's happening and help Troubleshoot here.

00:57:03

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. Yeah.

00:57:04

Elizabeth Debold: Was he not available today again or today at this time?

00:57:08

Sarah John: It seems this time is not good for him. If it's possible to meet even one hour earlier, I think we might grab him.

00:57:17

Elizabeth Debold: Yeah, because he has to pick his kids up at school.

00:57:20

Sarah John: Exactly. Yeah.

00:57:23

James Redenbaugh: Oh well, I can meet earlier than this time or later generally and. But also maybe Peter and I should just sync up in the next couple days on. On tech stuff.

00:57:42

Elizabeth Debold: Sounds good thing.

00:57:43

Sarah John: That would be great.

00:57:44

Marlene Potthoff: It would be important. Yeah.

00:57:46

Sarah John: Yeah.

00:57:47

James Redenbaugh: Well, I just sent him a link, so do that. Cool.

00:57:58

Elizabeth Debold: Okay.

00:57:59

Sarah John: Should we find the time for next week?

00:58:03

James Redenbaugh: Sure.

00:58:12

Elizabeth Debold: True. Do next week at this time? Ish.

00:58:16

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah. Yeah. Monday. But would be good for me because. Yeah, later in the week it's more difficult for me.

00:58:25

James Redenbaugh: But if Peter's gonna join, do we need to do earlier or later?

00:58:31

Elizabeth Debold: I. We need to find out.

00:58:33

Sarah John: Maybe. Yeah, maybe you can ask him if you're in contact. I understood from him that yeah, it needs to before he picks the kids up with school. But I'm not sure how to match how that matches up with us.

00:58:50

Elizabeth Debold: Time.

00:58:57

James Redenbaugh: 3Pm is 9am here.

00:59:00

Elizabeth Debold: It will be as of. As of which weekend? This weekend. After this weekend.

00:59:09

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah.

00:59:09

James Redenbaugh: Yes. Yeah, that's right.

00:59:13

Elizabeth Debold: So next. A week from Monday is we're all in summertime or we're still out of sync. I think we're.

00:59:24

Marlene Potthoff: We are all in summertime.

00:59:26

Elizabeth Debold: Then next. Next summer.

00:59:29

Marlene Potthoff: Yeah, next Sunday. Right.

00:59:33

James Redenbaugh: Do we met at 5pm today? Should we do 4pm on Monday?

00:59:42

Elizabeth Debold: That could work.

00:59:45

Marlene Potthoff: See if that would agree on this now. And then we find out if Peter. When. If Peter needs to. To have the meeting at three then we can switch to three or so that would be.

00:59:59

Elizabeth Debold: Can you ask him, James, right now or is he.

01:01:12

James Redenbaugh: He's not getting back to me right away, but I can. I can follow up. And I just made a calendar invite. And if he can't do four, but he can do three, I'll just move it up an hour.

01:01:23

Elizabeth Debold: Perfect. Great.

01:01:25

Marlene Potthoff: Good.

01:01:26

Elizabeth Debold: Lupa.

01:01:27

James Redenbaugh: Super duper.

01:01:30
