Report from spring counsel Day 1
I'm making this report because i feel compelled to be honest about the level of safety at the site. Besides violence, social distancing and sanitation is not a priority. I will have to quarantine all over again when I'm done here. The violence and aggression made me very uncomfortable and i felt genuinely scared for my own safety more than once.
The Family in attendance are generally kind, loving and beautiful people. There are approximately two dozen attendees. My guess is almost half have either never been to a gathering or have only attended one or two.
No progress has been made on any of the issues pertaining to site location or operating procedures.
Alcohol is being openly drunk in the circle by a few people, a couple of others were openly high on harder drugs, and admitted to intravenously using drugs right there.
Physical violence has already taken place, more than one incident, resulting in Shanti Sena situations, with LEO’s showing up, resulting in some folks leaving the site. Mostly women and people with children. The aggression and violence came from mostly just two men who were definitely under the influence. There weren't enough experienced Shanti Sena efforts to keep the rest of us safe, IMO.
The feather has not been respected in many situations, especially with children and women. Hopefully today will be different. Please send love and good intention to those of us here on the ground and for our Circle today. Thank you, Family.
