I found out about Transition Towns...
From a friend who told me
In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:
My particular interests are heart and soul, education and raising awareness, networking of existing community groups, very keen to be involved in community gardens, transition schools and transforming our economic system, being involved in the setting up of a complimentary money system and raising awareness around the potential for change in reclaiming our collective power economically.

I'm on the steering group in Whangarei and on the Tutukaka Coast, where I live.
What are you happy to share about yourself:
I'm Irish, living with my husband Dan, a kiwi, who is also nvolved in getting the TT off the ground, and our two kids, ages 6 and 11. I grew up on a farm in the SE of Ireland with my four brothers and four sisters. I love nature, love kids, love working with energies, love music, dance and being with friends.

I'm a shamanic healer, energy healer, holistic counsellor and facilitate personal development groups and run peaceful parenting courses.
Where do you live (City or Town):
Ngunguru, Tutukaka Coast, Whangarei

Hi Genevieve I will leave my programme to you. I am impressed that there is a polytechnic tutor in sustainability who take the issue of money seriously and would love to go there. I am in your hands and will do my best to talk to whoever.

Hi Genevieve, for sure I remember you :-) My family and I moved down here last year so my wife could be near her aging mother for a few years, but it's only temporary. Plan to return probably to the Bay of Plenty when my 13 year old finishes high school -- too cold for me down here!
We've just had the national meeting for Living Economies here in ChCh -- I only managed to attend part of it. Glad to say there is still energy around the place for complementary currencies more than 7 years after I set up what was then called the Stable Money Trust. Deidre is very knowledgeable so will provide great input for you all I'm sure.

Oh goodness I didn't ever see this, sorry Genevieve. Yes it looks as though it is all organised now. It will be great to meet you all!

Hi Genevieve,

The second week is better for me but Maureeen tells me that is not good for you guys.

I'll discuss with my wife and get back to you guys.

Cheers

Hi there Lisa, if you click on the Whangarei group, then "request to join" (beside green cross near top right of page, then you can start a discussion on comment on that page and add all the details about this Sunday. At our meetings and events, we tell people to keep an eye on the Whangarei page of this website rather than sending out tons of emails. Then those interested can contact you for more information. You can also email it to me and I can pass it on to some people in my own contact list info@peaceful-parent.com

There's a group here on the coast working on a carpooling and car hitching system, they'll be launching it at our next evening on 27th Sept, Sat, 7pm, also showing "who killed the electric car?" on same evening.

I'll be happy to drop in some time and have a chat. Nice to hear from you.

Hi Genevieve,
I was not able to come to thursday's meeting out at tutukaka, but would love to be involved. esp with car pooling. Sophie and Akke are friends of mine. I live at the rainbow bach- call in if you see my car there. I am involved with the peoples procession on parliament to cut GST on food items- we are having an Art auction this coming Sunday- is there any way it can be displayed online- or sent out to local members? We are looking for artists to donate artwork ( Sophie has!) and people coming along to purchase art at the auction.I have a pdf I can email you if keen. I will also put a poster up at salt Air. Hope to hear from you anyway, cheers,

Hi - I have looked at the H & S group thoughts. I will contact Martin to see if another night could be arranged as I am committed on Wednesdays. It looked like an awesome brainstorming session - must have been heaps of cells bouncing around!
