I was born in Aotearoa (the Land of the Long White Cloud) New Zealand which will always be my home. However in recent years have been enjoying exploring our Global Community. Spent the last couple years in North America: BC, Canada and the West Coast of the US. Returned to NZ in May 07' and am loving it.

I have a couple of projects that I'm pouring my love into at the moment. One is a Documentary Film exploring the relationships between Social Entrepreneurship, Conscious Capitalism and Green Business. I've become very interested in how it is possible to make a profit by making a difference as I find ways to fulfill my visions and values through my work. 

I love helping others do the same. I love collaboration and the creative synergy that grows from people sharing their dreams, finding common goals and assisting each other to get there together. I am commited to creating conversations, relationships and institutions that are receptive and supportive of the creative potential of the individual.

I've been inspired by Robert Thurman's view of what an Enlightened Society would be like: Its whole purpose would be to liberate the individual to fulfil their most nobel human intentions. To “bring forth” (as the latin roots of the word educate means) their potential from the inside out rather than being socialised from the outside in. 

Another project I am bringing into the world is a Zero Emission  Eco-Spiritual Tourism Venture to New Zealand. Everyone I meet here in North America wants to go, and i want to help thenm make it happen. To help connect wonderful people from North America with the land and people of New Zealand. Our Prime Minister has recently stated that she wants NZ to be the first truely sustainable nation. So a zero emissions tourism company for people in the Life Style of Health and Sustainability market is timely. Will be heading home soon to put the foundation under that dream soon. Am wanting to create a transformational event to attract 100-200 down under - am attracting and allowing exactly what this wants to be to me now.    

That's a couple things I'd love to talk more with Zaadzters about. I joined the network quite a while ago but didn't do much with it. I'm now ready to make the most of this opportunity. and am excited about participating, making friends, helping others and inhabiting this little conscious corner of the web. 

I am involved in several other exciting entrepreneurial ventures: a podcasting network that helps people produces revenue for their shows - http://www.yaktivate.com/ . Experience the Game www.xthegame.com/ - I describe it as a “sychronicity factory”. Check it out - it's a powerful communication and relationship building tool.  

I'm looking for people who are interested in the projects I've described above to help me manifest them for the benefit of all. 

We are living in a critically important time in the evolution of our species. As the late great Terence McKenna said “we need to push the art pedal to the floor”, boot strap ourselve to a higher vision and create our way out of the perilous situation we have created for ourselves. I can't find it but to paraphrase the design genius Buckminster Fuller - rather that criticising what the what we don't like about the present system we can  design a better one which makes the present one obsolete and inhabit it.       

That's a little about me. How about you. Introduce yourself, share your passion and what you need next to make it happen and I'll do my best to help.
