Philippa Ross's Groups

In the context of Transition Towns my interests / passions are:: Forming caring social networks to improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Central collective to draw from a myriad of skills within each community and cherish what we have

What are you happy to share about yourself:: I am passionate about making a difference to people's wellbeing; particularly their mental, emotional and spiritual selves.
Bringing focus back to what we have, acknowledgement and learning to strengthen and utilise those skills. To share willingly, to accept our differences and build a strong resourceful compassionate community.
I run workshops to empower to find ways to enrich and balance their lives.

I noticed you expressed interest in the Heart and Soul group. Have a look again now, the group is still fairly bare as yet, but I've posted on a sharing of the ideas generated at our event on the 7th in our Heart and Soul cluster group, you might find it interesting.

Currently there is a H & S meeting at Martin's house on Wednesday nights which is open to all. I can't do Wednesday night at moment as I'm running a parenting evening course.

We're very close to setting our date and venue for next public get together, hopefully you can make that, there will be a chance for people to cluster in groups according to location. Let us know if we can help when you get to the stage of setting up a local initiative down there. If you're at that stage, I'd strongly recommend that everyone interested in being in the steering group reads the Primer for maximum clarity and alignment of vision.

All the best,
Genevieve

Let me know if I can help you with your photo... cropping, sizing, adjusting contrast, fitting it to the site, etc. Then when I've returned it to you, you can post it to the site at Profile Photo. Photos become very important as our group grows.

At 9:45pm on July 13, 2008, Genevieve said…: Hi Philippa, pencil in to your diary that we're organizing a public event for the 7th August in the evening, venue to be confirmed. "Community Solutions to Rising Fuel and Food Prices". When I have the details I'll email it to you and you can pass it on to your network.

give me your email address and I'll add you on to the Whangarei TT distribution list to be kept posted. Also, if you join our Whangarei group, there's an update in there under discussions. Will get a blog organized in near future, like an online newsletter. Also, I'll email you the shamanic info when I get it.

blessings, Genevieve

I notice you've joined the network, but not the Whangarei TT group space. If you'd like to do so, just click on the aerial picture for the Whangarei group (click groups on top menu), then when in there, request to join and you can add posts, be part of discussions, questions, etc.

Also, Klaus, who teaches at North Tec Hort centre. If you're thinking about setting up an initiative down in Waipu, feel free to ring me and have a chat if you need support and some guidelines around this. Sounds like, from your profile, that this will al be second nature to you and that you've got lots to bring to the whole project.

There are some minutes posted up from two of the groups who got together at last Thursday's meeting in the Whangarei group space and three more will be added in next couple of days.

Stay in touch.

Genevieve :-)
