CoCreating Site
Discovered this site / online community
at the beginning of Oct 2010 and thought I'd give it a try:
it will help focus me and also try out something that might well be very useful for our students
(I've been researching online courses for some months in order to improve our offer, especially for focusing on mission: so this is perfect! ... and clearly very successful ...)
It is created to help you to FOCUS, for 100 days, with the help of the CCOR online community
What is very worrying about many of these sites though .. is the "Be Positive" in the New Age way typified by The Secret
It's one of those (many) 'half-truths' which are being bandied about and confuse everyone to death.. Eventually I found this brilliant video that explains why...
Acclaimed journalist, author and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich explores the darker side of positive thinking.
MY INTENTIONS AND GOALS (Oct 2010)
HOME: keep blissing out with living on our beautiful farm, loving my gorgeous partner & family, enjoying the generous animals that live with us, watch the lovely baby trees get bigger and stronger and the gardens more and more bountiful and appreciating more and more all my wonderful friends, students and colleagues
WORK: maximise the service of NodoEspiral towards the Great Transition. Create a Spanish & Permaculture version of CCOR for our students!? + move all our online courses, build the team & our enjoyment together, co-create a brilliant web presence, get lots more students & provide a great service to all of them
ECO-VILLAGE: attract the perfect co-creators for 8thLife, inform & inspire lots of people for the Transition, meet great allies really into all that we're passionate about, get some great media specialists & designers on our side, find an efficient PA for Stella and ESPECIALLY get the amazing Core People together and have much fun & learn + teach lots whilst enjoying the process
Date of start: 7 Oct 2010, New Moon in Libra & the date of our first Integral Women's meeting by skype, a new support group we created for permaculture women! So it's a nice way to start, will suggest others try it (if they speak english) and help do something similar but in Spanish and for PermaCulture people.
Will add here all the links to my blog, etc.
