jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"I am going to try and get a space at UU if the group ends up being more than a houseful. I am fairly sure that I have insinuated myself well enough now and that this movement is well in keeping with their social and economic justice ideal. Having…"

jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"Don is about as close to the Transitions "horses mouth" as we can get locally (I'm more local to the other end of the horse). The more of us able to attend the better for group absorbtion. I can carry four (plus me) to the…"
jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"Hi Loretta,
You've echoed my endorsement of Andy K's and others "two-birds" notion of face-to-face with Transitions and added the video layer. Excellent, editing and montage of more footage of more actions…"
jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"I'm with Andy K. as I am not as cyber-savy as Andy D. and think that there are others in my shoes. Community action should involve hands and hugs. Talking is good and video is grand but it cannot replace the personal dynamic in my…"

July 30, 2011 from 7am to 12pm
Saturday Morning, July 30We will be installing a Hugelkultur bed and perhaps expanding the sheetmulch (lasagna) garden bed. With enough energy; we may also do a water catchment and storage pond in the vicinity of the garden itself. Church members will be engaged in other landscaping activities as well. this will be a great opportunity to meet, learn and share with likeminded people who are interested in local food and community. Anyone wishing to contribute compost, manure, seaweed, mulch and…See More
jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"Community groups form and more intimate friendships emerge and remain cohesive after the initial verve and zeal dies down. An analogy might be a bonfire that blazes hot but only a few remnant embers remain in the morning. The energy remains but in a…"
jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"I agree with Andy and Cory on the confusion that comes from so many iniatives. The problem seems to be that there is a lot of inertia at the start and members lose interest and isolated core groups remain.
I agree that Create Clearwater has…"
jungle jay commented on Eric Stewart's group Transition Clearwater"Thursday is good for me. I might have to depend on another in the group as my doctor has not granted driving priveleges yet. Perhaps we can stagger two meeting days per month as has been done in other groups to accomodate those, like…"

- Lifelong Pinellan, married H.S. sweetheart, 30 yrs Professional Archaeologist tired of life "away". Back for home and community and to share my experience and talents. Vol.ed at Hospice (patient and family support/11th hour vigil) and teen crisis shelter (direct care) which led to 6yrs as administrator. Trying to set up virtual family for teens aging out of foster care in an outdoor group setting. Still vol. at Weedon and Brooker as presenter and tour leader. Now just a small eco-biz and givin' it all away for the greater good. My hospice experience has shown me that creating family, friends and fun is the ultimate aspiration.
