- The meetings will be facilitated - either a specific skill, or area or knowledge, by a rotating focalizer,
as well as space to work on ongoing projects. You don't have to be an expert to focalize a meeting, you can be a total newb! With a bit of background info, a group can make good headway. There will be materials for crafts and books at each meeting. See you then!
