Thanks so much for participating, these are brilliant ideas, Ada

We have not got consensus on the following theme but here is roughly where we are up to just after deadline: Stepping stones between ECO: Awareness; Equity & Action

Any changes Colin or Maria?

Matt, Colin & Maria

Matt/Colin - I have sent you an email. Sorry, it has been a hectic week.. I think ECO may be a bit restrictive?

Stepping Stones; Connecting Awareness, Action and Equity

Feel free to comment, criticise etc etc...

Hey all, sorry for our groups tardy response...we had this formed but were trying to get consensus. Our Theme at this point is:

CPR: Community and Planet Resuscitation
Open Space on Our Stepping Stones from Grey to Green and Beyond

Rachel had a point about trying to break up the second part with some sort of colon or semi-colon, to make it easier to read. I figure in the next stage people will be re-working these once again, so I'm posting as is.

Did the third group ever reach a consensus, or want to add anything else before we move along? As people were pressed with time, Joan was really the one to articulate a Theme. To me it sounded like; Creating and supporting a community which helps us achieve true 'Happiness' I don't want to put words into any of your mouths and this discussion is by no means closed. So please feel free to comment.

I will email you all soon regarding the next step. Much peace and love and hope you all can make it to the Community Evening (some much desired face to face time) this Monday at Common Grounds, 6:30...read more in Events.

p.s. Colin, I found it kind of sweet, when reading Resurgence magazine lately, that they are holding a discussion in which their theme is: Economic and Environmental Recovery: from Downturn to Steady State Creating a better world to recover from the credit crunch and the nature crunch.

...there are like-minded souls everywhere...lets heed to their inspiration and get our theme crackin!
