"Thanks, Megan, for invitation. I am based in ChCh now, and the timing is a bit inconvenient although I sometimes go down there. Warm regards. Mikio"

Profile Information

I found out about Transition Towns...
From a friend who told me
In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:
Ecological lifestyle, conflict resolution and community mediation
What are you happy to share about yourself:
I was once a resident of Christchurch and perhaps will be the one again. I am creating professonal fields of international (business) negotiation and cross-cultural management in Japan. I have got a PhD in conflict resolution (Univ. of Bradford, UK). (written in August 2008)

Now I am back to NZ! I am attached to the newly established National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, Univeristy of Otago in Dunedin. I would like to provide my mediation/facilitation service in business and community relations (written in April 2009).
Where do you live (City or Town):
Dunedin

I wanted to invite you to a 350 Climate Action Group's FUN raiser, this coming Friday at the Regent Theatre.

My band - the Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra are doing a gig as part of our National Tour, and we want to pack out the Regent Theatre. $5 from each ticket purchased through the '350 Climate Action Group' (not the box office) go straight to funding their important climate action activities.

You can find out more about it here:

Hope to see you there! If you can't make it, please let your friends know.

Cheerio!

Deirdre & Miguel,

Thank you for your kind comments. I still have a fond memory of NZ where I stayed with my Malaysian wife and two kids from 2000 to 2005.

I sincerely hope that NZ further develop humane society based on alternative lifestyle, etc.. I may be able to contribute to such society in my own way even from outside NZ before our family shifts back to this beautiful land.

Hi Mikio, I think this is a good gateway especially for you if you want to learn alternatives to current globalisation. Keep an eye on especially "Transition Towns" movement in Aotearoa and I'm sure you'll love to come back there...
