99 Days:

On September 1, Wol Euler began a practice of seeing what it would be like to meditate for 99 days, leaving a record of the result on the wiki. Enthusiasm for this project was evident when a number of people joined Wol on August 23, 9 days before the scheduled starting date. Aphrodite, Bruce, Eden, Eliza, Eos, Lucinda, o000o, Pema, Stevenaia, and Wester joined Wol in meditating regularly and then leaving a brief comment each day. Reading through the entries it seemed monologue became warm dialogue, shared meditation. It is reminiscent of the time when many of us had blogs and we reacted to one another.

September 21, Peace Day. Each of the four sessions was a silent session. "Just for today, I encourage you to be here in a slightly different way than usual, that is, sitting in silence (no chat).

On this United Nations designated International Day of Peace (September 21), some of us have decided to explore a sort of personal, and collective "truce" during the regularly scheduled Play as Being session times, by simply sitting, and being present together."
