About Me:
I work at the interface of sustainability/regeneration and social innovation. I'm interested in creating and sharing solutions that transform systems for the better. I enjoy connecting parts, including people and ideas, together.

I'm currently the Chair of the Intersect Trust, which planted and fertilises the Intersect Network. I see great potential in this network. It's a space where we can learn and inspire each other, to make positive changes for our selves, our communities, and the environment we're part of. It's also a space to be curious and play, because life is here to enjoy and it's important to keep our energy up.

I also work freelance as an integrative researcher/facilitator/writer/collaborator on projects.

I like being connected on-line, but I don't spend too much of my life in front of a computer. I enjoy zooming around town on my bike, meandering down to the coast, experimenting in the garden, peering through my camera lens, and pottering around with friends. I'm also on the floor lots, as part of my yoga practice.

If you'd like to intersect on anything, please feel free to contact me at any stage.

Hi Nick, Freda Wells and I have been discussing starting a monthly film night as of next year. I saw your note on Intersect and thought maybe we could talk and find out what each other is planning. Can we catch up for coffee or something? Leanne

thank you Nick - appreciate your welcoming :)
Philip Hahn-Petersen, also a KaosPilot, recommended this community as being alive and being a treasury for great people, events and nuggets to discover... looking forward to have a look around from time to time.
I have been in contact with Simon Young through the Art of Hosting Network.
sending good vibes from Denmark,
Benjamin

Hey Nick,
Thanks for the invite :0) I had a lovely time at the last Face-to-Face, 2009's almost over - wow that went quick!
I'm not sure if I can make it at the moment (first draft-Thesis handin 2 days later+ giving a talk @ NZPGConference 3 days beforehand), however I will try my darndest.
Great to see you @ the market on Sunday,
Greer

Surprise!

You’re invited to our last Intersect Face-to-Face of 2009. There will be sharing of ideas and the usual inspiration and connection, but this one is a little bit Christmas flavoured and it’s all about giving.

There will be surprise gifts, crafty activities, ideas for 'sustainable' gifts and conversations about giving. You can get involved in any way that suits you - even if it's just to meet a few more people and enjoy some tasty treats.

...Pssst...pass it on!
Why not surprise someone from the Wellington Intersectors and post this invite on their profile?

Cheers!

The awesome people at Kowtow are heading to India in December, to visit their fairtrade organic cotton farmers. They will be documenting the trip and coming back to NZ with the low-down on fair trade & organic practices in the cotton industry. Thi...

A good idea, but in practise (considering how it is as shown in the video above), I'd rather have the simpler and probably more effective and lower cost option of a high-viz vest and very-visable/dazzling bike lights (lights visable from the front...
