What have I been up to?

I attended a life coaching conference in Queenstown that was really inspiring. There was a great talk by Getrude Matshe who was born in Zimbabwe, but now lives in New Zealand running a number of very successful businesses. Topics covered ranged from business skills to life coaching demonstrations, webpage making and marketing, life coaching for differewnt groups, e.g. retirement, executive, personal coaching etc.

We also had an Austin Powers impersonator at our conferenc meal who was just great. The photo from my cell phone didn't do him credit.

Best of the Net

There are great videos on www.ted.com. A really interesting one this month was  Garrett Lisi  talking on "a beautiful new theory of everything". He talks about the sub atomic particles which when mapped form beautiful patterns, but suggest the nature of some particles yet to be found. He theorises that that they form a symetrical 8 dimensional pattern, which is reminiscent of the chakra system or the kabbalah.

Local happenings

I went to a book launch for Sparrow Hawk (Jay Ray) for her book Reweaving the Web. It describes her personal journey of discovery, especially linking in with Shamanism. the opening was at the Arai te Uru Kokiri Centre where Jay has been learning the maori language. She has a website with information about her book, her life and how she sees the world.

I have started a blog where I can write down thoughts I am having that I hope will stimulate some discussion. Check out my Blog
