Etherion Community Action & Gatherings for January 2011
Phone George Neo (a RINGING CEDARS READER from Victoria) at the Magpie House for more Information: 03 9752 5838
George wrote in his email that was sent to me:
“Inviting visitors early to late January 2011. This is an important pivotal opportunity to proceed & formalise a Collaborative Community group at our beloved 701 hectares in the NEW ENGAND/NORTHERN TABLELANDS OF NSW, let us know if you’d like to visit, or just call.
Activities may include =
Roll a huge new water tank around 1km, deferred due to heavy rain & boggy conditions.
Re-construct the “natural dam” wall to provide a 50 metre water way (down to 10m currently).
Camping, swimming, photos of expanded waterways including the 30m waterfall & 200m cascades.
“Koa” bush food foraging, watch & apply the 5 dvd Koa collection.
Garden & orchard care, land allocation plan, community mode (think about Stewardship, rather than Ownership).
Contact details:
Vic Magpie House 03 9752 5838 Nsw Etherion 02 6779 4578 Mobile 0414 976 991
If you can’t make these dates & are keen to collaborate, call or email us anyway, now is the time! Note, there’s very limited indoor accomodation although camping or caravans are a very pleasant option this time of year.
The basis of our initiative is, basically, INTEGRITY, integrity with others & ALSO to one-self. We are in a position to offer Land, Lots of it, low up-front cost, although you would have to commit time & resources (yes some cash at least!) to establishing your own infrastructure.
Costs are to be minimised but will escalate with group infrastructure, eg, accomodation & all-weather tracks are high priorities but can be established quickly & cheaply with group participation & commitment.
Like ourselves, we are NOT expecting ANYONE to immediately base themselves on the Community Foundation land, like us, we are busily coming & going & little by little establishing a functional domain with an already established homestead & remote power system, around 40 fruit/nut trees have been planted, water tanks repaired & a large new one delivered, water plan under way & plans for schools etc etc. And like us, improvements can always be passed on or sold as appropriate.
Now for the important bit – who we’d like to attract!
Evolvists not Survivalists.
Spiritual rather than Religious.
All-denonimational rather than non-denonimational.
Collaborative Co-Creators rather than individualistic.
Neither Dependent nor Independent, but Inter-Dependent.
Ask not what one can get out of this, but what one can contribute.
Humbleness of a Warrior, not humbleness of a beggar.
Be Ruthless but Charming, not Harsh.
Be Cunning but Nice, not Cruel.
Be Patient but Active, not Negligent.
Be Sweet but Lethal, not Foolish.
Apply the attributes of Control, Discipline, Forbearance, Timing, and Will.

Spam Messages on the Site
I’ve noticed some scamming and spamming behavior on the site, and while we don’t want to make our community a closed on, I’d appreciate you sending an email to me at Haroun@spaceoflove.co.za if you get any messages on the system asking you to contact people at their email addresses.

Tickets for the next Space of Love gathering
This blog post will be one place holder for the tickets. We’ll change this text to be more descriptive of what we’re offering, or if could go in the actual product.
And include it on the gatherings page, the home page, and what other page do you think it can go to?
The sidebar is also a good idea :-)
Updating...
A New Issue of the Space of Love Magazine
Well, we have it on the highest authority: Not only are all of us on the right track with our SOL devotions, but we have now had a visitation by a bona-fide goddess, straight down from the clouds.
“Yes, seeds are it,” she says, “in more ways than one.”
Seeds have been seeding themselves into this Space of Love Magazine issue #8 (two years!) in literal and metaphoric ways. The magic of starting to relate to our seeds in more profound ways is infectious. Start collecting and neighborhood-swapping! But even more so, we have collected the most amazing seed ideas for you, ready to sprout into the kind of growth which turns a life into a passionate, shared adventure with unlimited energy. Oh, how nice it is to live devoted to a conscious life!
Find out more about Amazing Human Capacities; read a profound interview entitled Beyond Greed and Scarcity; The Virtues of Frugality and Temperance; The Lazy Way to Stay in Love; the mysterious Bronnikov Method; Seed Stewardship; Pre-birth Agreements; Cancer as a Survival Mechanism; Mycoremediation and Oil Spills; whether we can just…Switch our Consciousness and so much more!
Do tell your friends we want them. No more sad, lonely people. Subscribe, connect, hold hands – for the price of a single dinner out! Send this email on to them and ask them to mail it on from there. It’s time to exponentially grow via networking globally to claim back our planet just in time.
We are also getting ready to send out yet another seed: our fabulous smaller local versions (16 pages) of quarterly SOL Magazines, free and with a large circulation, aided by income from three pages of logo-listings (plus four 1/2 page color ads inside). This enables us to assist hundreds of localities to start community and sanity making via 10 pages of short SOL articles and 3 front pages of locally relevant content. We are adding a TimeBanking model for all of you who want to be local editors, so even people short of funds might be able to Trade and Exchange for ad-space. Local editors would hopefully begin to get supported through their local TimeBanks soon after they get set up. EXCITING! The true seed capital: Excitement and Passion. AND – if anything should happen to our economy, TimeBanks can keep communities safe by facilitating Trade and Exchange.
Please do get in touch with us as soon as possible if you are interested. 100 editors (that would only be two per US state, never mind the rest of the English-speaking world) with 10.000 issues each as is common for free local magazines – a million readers. Should we pick a cover with millions of “flying dandelion seeds ” for the first local prototypes?? That’s how our happy news will be able to spread and take root – via angel seeds flying in from on high.

Workshop Details
A “Space of Love” Visioning workshop is being run by Malcolm McLachlan at the Novalis Institute in Wynberg. It is being organised by Faye with the intention to create a space to Vision for our future Kins’ Domains, the community in which we would like to live, and therefore collectively change the world. Perhaps this is the first big step we can take to manifest our Dream of Kin’s Domain and turn it into reality.
The Personal Visioning Process Workshop: “Create your Future Now”
Running over two Saturday afternoons at the Novalis Institute in Wynberg, Cape Town,
Sat 28 August and Sat 11 Septfrom2-5pm

The workshop will be conducted by experiential process facilitator Malcolm McLachlan, who will help us to use our creative and imaginative capacities to tap into our deeper instincts, insights and intuitions, connecting us with our hearts and not only our heads, with what we really really want in our lives, and committing ourselves to the realization of our personal visions. On completion of the workshop we will have created in pictures and words our own personal visions of the future, as well as ways to bring these into being, now. The workshop will be held over two 3 hr sessions, a fortnight apart, to allow participants to do most of the individual time consuming creative work at home between sessions.
Fees for the full workshop of two 3hr sessions are:
· R200 per student or unemployed individual
· R300 per individual
· R500 per couple or 2 family members
No one will be turned away. Please talk to Malcolm if finances are a problem.
Participants are encouraged to social after each session. Coffee & tea will be provided. Please bring a plate of snacks to share then if you can.
Please contact Malcolm Mclaughlan on 084-975-5285 to book your place and if you have any further queries on the workshop.
