About

My friends and I have recently formed a non profit organization called The Alchemical Nursery Project , a non-profit organization committed to promoting the development of sustainable urban lifestyles and landscapes. By providing the resources, dialogue space, and networks needed for those interested in the movement for sustainable cities, we are furthering our goal to contribute to the growth of the urban ecovillage movement locally, nationally, and globally.


We are developing our website to serve as an online clearinghouse of information and a social networking space for those interested in promoting and building sustainable urban lifestyles and landscapes and in starting similar projects in their communities, and we are interested in forming partnerships with other like-minded organizations. We have a continually growing website membership and a large newsletter mailing list. Members can create their own profiles and meet each other online, upload files such as articles and research they have done to share with others, participate in the discussion forums, browse our links section, and learn more about what The Alchemical Nursery Project specifically is up to at our site. This is the premier website for people specifically interested in the movement for sustainable cities.

 

Please come visit and join our conversation!    www.alchemicalnursery.org

 

 

About me:

 

I am a ball of energy and light trapped in a 27 year old body, and I am going to EXPLODE if I don’t continue every day to carry out my mission, which is to SAVE THE PLANET!! I have decided that the best way for me to do this is to start working to organize folks around the ideas of urban transformation and redevelopment. We meet (either online or in person), we share our ideas, and then we go out there and we find out how to accomplish our goals for sustainable urban living and landscapes. More than half of the world’s people already live in cities, and there is a lot of work that needs to be done to get these exciting cultural centers in balance so that we can live happily and healthily in tuned with our mother earth and each other. A big part of this is energetic work and healing on a spiritual level, both individually and collectively, and I practice energy work and reiki and lead shamanic journeys with my organization's members to further strengthen and manifest our intentions for healing in all planes. In the material plane, I strive every day to realize my goals for alchemical transformation in our urban cores.

 

I like to connect with people and talk about my passions and theirs. Please drop me a line if you're interested in what I am doing - I am sure you can relate

 

I have a whole bunch of profiles and whatnot all over the place. May as well see if I can fit them all here, eh?

Let's see now.

Hi,

Just saw your message yesterday. haven't been online in a while. Well, I visited the Alchemical Nursery website yesterday. I'd say you got a great project going. Guess with time , we'll get to learn about one another and the work we are doing. I've got my hands full at the moment. I am currently undertaking a Masters Degree Programme In Urban and Regional Planning. Guess it's part of the reason why I'm not on-line as often as I used to be.

Guess i'd just stop here and thank you for your invitation.

Cheers!

Yes, love your energy, enthusiasm, and fee flow.

 

Tell me more about your organization please.

 

BOOST operates in New Jersey and has a year-long series of public awareness forums and community capacity building workshops we are launching on Saturday, June 7 in Trenton.

 

Perhaps you can come and be a part of the launch which will feature Mitchell Joachim of Terreform for a presentation on whole ecological design for urban environments, Anastasia Harrison of WESKetch Architecture on improving indoor air quality for home and family health, a screening of Sundance Channel's Big Ideas for a Small Planet, the Build episode and another presentation by a representative of Delaware River Keepers.  Your Alchemical Nursery Project sounds very interesting and I am sure your presentation will be well-recieved.

 

Contact me at (609) 298-7696 - home - and voice mail (206) 202-2883 if I'm not in.

 

Let's set this up soon so I can put an announcement out to BOOST's email list and post on our blog at www.gss-set.blogspot.com.
