I talked about this with Piper.
1) Call to Adventure
Odysseus' call to adventure happened when Hermes demands Calypso to let him free and go home. Calypso hesitates with this decision, but when she finally gives in she informs Odysseus that his travels will not be easy. Odysseus is not phased and chooses to go anyways.
2) Meeting with the Goddess
Odysseus arrived on the island and he met Nausicaa. She is welcoming and makes her maids give him clothing and bathe him. When Odysseus goes to Aretes and Alcinous' palace they listen to his story and give him the choice of having him marry their daughter or returning home safely. This can be considered a meeting with the Goddess because Odysseus is in a way lured in by Aretes and Alcinous. And as tempting as it may sound, Odysseus chooses to go home.
