[ChatAction] Some ideas that I would like discussed by the presenters of the city week on HR

[Shannon McArthur]

I love these questions, Malini. As I reviewed them from my own perspective
(Oh-Gs!) it seemed to me that Gaia has offered a very good plan. All of
these concerns appear to have been addressed, and I love the prospect of
discussing them from the Oh-Gs point of view. Tonight I will bring them to
Gaia's Zoom Room for discussion, so we can find words to embrace
how challenges are met in these community centres/hearts.

6-8 Pacific Time @ TheConversation.cc
Love
Shannon
