Global Climate Change - Must we act or not?

Make up your mind (if you have not done that already) after watching this video.

A groovy video impression of the coolest festival of the Netherlands: "Castlefest"
It is an annual 3 days festival held in the first weekend of August. One of the nice things about this festival is that 50% the visitors are dressed up and are an attraction by itself.

I have never been to a festival with a more relaxed atmosphere then this.

Music "Allive" from the Omnia album "Alive!".

Impressions of a duo piano concerto performed by my friends Elise Keep and Corinne Moerbeek on Fazzioli concert piano's during the annual "Anton Mauve feest" Sept. 16, 2007 in Laren, Netherlands.

This is dedicated to my friends here at zaadz.com.

My no1 goal is and will always be: Love and be loved.

You make me feel closer to that goal then I have ever been.

Wow, that would have saved a lot of time......

 

Some time today, http://www.zaadz.com/, the best online spiritual community in the Universe will welcome it's 100000 th member. I congratulate Brian and the Zaadz team. They have done a wonderfull job creating this.

I thank my 125 friends for being friends and connect with me here. A special thanks to Ilse, Ian, Bev, Torc and Kate for inspiring me and really making a change in my life.

Reaching 1 million is easy now. Just ad a zero!

The Zaangha Day in the Netherlands must have been the smallest fo them all. Only 2 Zaadzsters were present. Not very strange if you think that it was organised just 12 hours before the event around midnight on Sept. 14th.

The conditions and location were wonderfull. A Nomadic Algerian restaurant had created an oasis on the spot where the canals Lauriersgracht and Prinsengracht meet. On the banks of the canal African carpest and pillows were placed, creating a wonderfull atmosphere. The weather cooperated with a late summer sun and temperature around 24 degr. C.

Present were Ilse Mulder and Jan Tetteroo. We discussed spirituality, environment, relations and other personal issues for about 5 hours. It was most enjoyable. The Algerian food was lovely. Eating both from a single plate contributed to an intimate atmosphere.

Around 7.30 we split up at the Central Station, knowing our Zaadz friendship had transformed into a real life one.

I would like to be recognized NOW!

Just at this moment. Standing in front of you. See me for who I am. Be trusted, loved, hugged. And I will recognize you!

Light and blessings,

Ecovillages not only good for environment but people too (17 August 2007)

People living in ecovillages around the world are not only reducing their environmental impact but living less stressed more fulfilling lives.

That is according to a new Vital Signs Update from environmental researchers at the Worldwatch Institute.

Erik Assadourian, research associate and update author, said: "Many people think living in an ecovillage would be a life of sacrifice.

"But research shows that residents have lowered their ecological footprints and financial costs and maintain closer bonds with their neighbours, all of which translates to a less stressed, more fulfilling lifestyle."

Worldwide, 379 ecovillages are registered with the Global Ecovillage Network, which defines them as urban or rural communities of people trying to live in a sustainable way.

The communities share solutions to lower their ecological impact, including food co-operatives, community-supported agriculture programs and carpooling.

Mr Assadourian believes it will be the way of the future.

"Planned communities tend to evoke over-developed suburban neighbourhoods and mini-malls," he said.

"But increasingly, planned communities will come to mean neighbours living with a purpose beyond consumerism, embracing a sustainable lifestyle and forging meaningful connections with their neighbours."

Europe has the most registered ecovillages (138), followed by North America (110), Latin America (58), Asia/Oceania (52) and Africa/Middle East (21).

They are found in rural, suburban, and urban areas, and in industrialized and developing countries in what is described as a growing global movement.

Many are cutting energy use by localising farming and creating more sustainable businesses and are supported by international agencies.

Findhorn in Scotland has just 60 percent of the ecological footprint of an average UK citizen.

Meanwhile, in Germany's Sieben Linden ecovillage, the per head carbon dioxide emissions are less than a third of the national average.

Other environmentally minded communities include more than 450 co-housing projects in North America and Europe.

They are clusters of smaller houses with shared dining halls and other spaces allowing stronger social ties while cutting material and energy needs.

Time for a quick look at upcoming films that may appeal to a Pagan/occult audience.
