Description

What is Housemoot? Every October, we hold an in-person conference called "Hutchmoot" in Nashville. It’s an opportunity for people from far and wide to gather in Nashville to celebrate art, music, story, and faith. We recognize that not everyone can make it out to Nashville so, we've created Housemoot. Housemoot is a do-it-yourself "conference kit" that you can use to create a “moot” experience in your own home. We'll provide you with a collection of new and original lectures, artistic interludes, recipes, and activities, that you can use to connect with people in your own communities. See the full list of lectures here: https://www.rabbitroom.com/housemoot.

The Housemoot site (with all the videos and above content) opens on Thursday, October 10. When does Housemoot end? The Housemoot site will be open until Sunday, December 1. When can I schedule my Housemoot? We have envisioned Housemoot happening at any time during the months of October and November. Schedule your gathering whenever your community is available during that window. If no time during those months works for you, email Andy@rabbitroom.com and we can help get you access to the materials for a different time. What do I need to do to plan my Housemoot? After you have purchased your ticket, the next steps are choosing a date and sending out invitations. Many people will create posters and flyers to help get the word out. To help with that effort, we have provided the the Rabbit Room logo and Housemoot graphic on the Housemoot page (https://rabbitroom.com/housemoot). Next, you’ll need to plan out the schedule for your Housemoot. Will it be a half-day? Full-day? Multi-day? How many lectures will you watch? What recipes will you cook? How much time will you allot for discussion and conversation? Will you take a walk together during the gathering? Make art together? It is all up to you! We have provided sample schedules for gatherings of different lengths in this Gathering Guide. It sounds like you are saying that I plan the event and I invite the people? That’s right! The Rabbit Room is supplying the content and inviting you to use it to make your own conference. If you want to think of it this way, we are providing all the ingredients, but you are making the meal and inviting the guests. Are these sessions original for Housemoot 2024? Yes, all of our speakers have recorded lectures specifically to share during Housemoot. Are all of the sessions pre-recorded or is anything live? All the sessions are pre-recorded. Can we choose which lectures to watch or do we have to watch them all? Think of the lineup as a menu of sessions that you are free to pick and choose from. Mix and match according to what topics are right for your community. Are there songs and poems again this year? Yes, we have invited over fifteen poets and songwriters to record videos for Housemoot. You’ll hear songs from Andrew Peterson, Zane Vickery, Candace Coker, Sho Baraka, Christa Wells, and others, as well as poetry from the poets of the Rabbit Room Poetry Substack (https://rabbitroompoetry.substack.com/) Where should I fit the songs and poems into my gathering? Some people fit them in between the lecture sessions. Others will leave them for an evening “concert” and watch them all at once. Do we need to schedule this at the same time as Hutchmoot? Will the site be available after Hutchmoot? Hutchmoot is the name of the Rabbit Room’s annuel in-person conference in Nashville. The Housemoot site opens on first day of Hutchmoot, but you do not have to plan your Housemoot gathering for the same weekend. The resources on the Housemoot site will be available throughout October and November. Do I have to call it “Housemoot?” Nope. If the name Housemoot doesn’t do it for you, we aren’t going to stop you from calling your gathering by another name. We only ask that you mention that it is associated with the Rabbit Room and we are offering the Rabbit Room logo on the Housemoot page to help with that. (https://rabbitroom.com/Housemoot) Will we have access to the sessions before the site actually opens for planning purposes? Yes, we will send a private link with a folder that contains all of the videos to each ticket holder in advance so that you can watch the videos you are going to show in advance in order to make sure they are right for your community. Are there suggested discussion questions for each lecture? There sure are. Each speaker has given us 2-5 questions for follow-up discussions. You can find those questions in the pdf linked to each lecture on the Housemoot page. How long are the sessions? Most of the sessions are between 30-45 minutes, with the longest lasting about an hour. The artistic interludes are much shorter, most being the length of one song or poem. How creative can we be with customizing and personalizing our Housemoot gathering? Yes, we will send a private link with a folder that contains all of the videos to each ticket holder in advance so that you can watch the videos you are going to show in advance in order to make sure they are right for your communnity. Where will the videos be hosted? The videos will be hosted on Vimeo.com and YouTube.com. Will there be closed captions for the hearing impaired? Yes, the session videos will be hosted in Vimeo and Youtube and both services provide automatic captions. Will we be able to simultaneously stream videos on separate devices? You sure can. If you want to show more than one video at once, that’s fine with us. There is no limit to how many devices you can use to access the Housemoot page. Will we be able to download the videos to our devices? Yes, just access the videos through Vimeo to download them. All ticket holders will be given a link to a folder on Vimeo.com. They are easily downloadable from that site. Can we charge for tickets to our Housemoots? Yes. We realize that hosting a Housemoot will often involve incurring expenses. Many people will use ticket sales to help cover those costs. I love that you provide recipes, but I can’t cook! What do I do? No worries. Just do your Housemoot potluck-style. Invite a friend to bring over a meal, a side, or a dessert. Odds are, they will appreciate the chance to get involved in that way. How do I explain what Housemoot is? Feel free to take any language from this guide or from the Housemoot info page. How do I share videos from my laptop to my TV? Here are some links to help you stream the lecture videos from your laptop your TV, using screen casting or an HDMI cable: Stream video and audio with AirPlay, Connect a wireless display to your Windows PC, How to Connect a Laptop to a TV via HDMI.
