We love the freedom of cheap air travel but we love our climate (and the people it supports) much more. This group is dedicated to the exploration of low carbon travel and the joys that come from choosing quality over expedience.

About Me:

I have deep roots in Northland and lived in Wellington for 7 years before going overseas. I have recently returned to Aotearoa after living/travelling overseas for 18 months and I'm now back in Wellington and loving it! Stuff I like includes: travelling, meeting new people, bodywork, spending time outside, good books, writing, tramping, yoga, yummy vegie food, swimming, live music, biking, dance, feejoa wine, sewing, camping, good conversations. I would like to learn more about gardening and become a better cook!

Areas of interest and expertise

I am passionate about working to create positive social change. I am priviliged to be able to do this as my paid work as well as unpaid. I spent 5 years working in feminist anti-violence organisations, which is a key focus of mine. Working alongside women in creative, political, supportive environments feeds my soul. I was a founding collective member of Muse feminist magazine, a small zine produced in Wellington. I have just started a new job as the education coordinator for an education and research centre committed to tiriti, social, and environmental justice. Very exciting! I am interested in writing/film/art/theatre as tools of social change and would like to do more learning/action in this area. I have a growing interest in bodywork and recently qualified as a massage therapist. Other interests include tiriti justice, facilitation, group work, community development, non-violent communication, and self/community sustainability.

I am organising an event with Frocks on Bikes Wellington and all-of-a-sudden thought 'Hey, I wonder is Muse will be interested...' - either in the event itself or in doing something in Muse on the event 'Flocking for Shopping', or on Frocks on Bikes in general. Women peddling into a summer of fun frcokalicious events... yay!

Let me know if you're interested and I can give you more info. You can read about the frockers and these events on the Frocks on Bikes website: http://frocksonbikes.wordpress.com/wellington/
or on Intersect events:

Hope you're well!:)

Thanks! That sounds super interesting. Unfortunately I won't be in or near Auckland at that time - or is the workshop someplace else? I am based in Wellington.

I am interested in Muse Magazine... Do you have an online version? And do you take articles from like-minded individuals..?

Thanks again,
Rhylie

Just wanted to let you know that I am running workshops on Deep Ecology in two weeks time. I told you when we met up in Auckland that I would let you know when our next trainings were confirmed. I do not have your email address so i cannot send you anything directly.
Trust all is well with you.

Just wondering if you are still on the look out for a new flatmate as per your reply to my ad? I'm starting to have a look round, ideally trying to find somewhere new before I get into my exams next month. The house I'm at in Kelburn is freezing!! Jane

At 3:19pm on May 5, 2009, Jo McKay said…: All good. If you leave on the 2:58pm train you will be at the Swanson Train station at 3:50pm. How about we meet at 1:30pm for a cuppa/something to nibble on and then you'll have plenty of time.
Hasta Thursday then.
