THIS
MONTH'S COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHT: Circle of Children
Greetings
friends,
Amanda
here to share about my continued journey
visiting communities and
an update on Within Reach Movie. First, I decided to take back my given name several
months ago, so yes, this is still "Mandy"
but I now go by Amanda! :) I recently made
several new visits to sustainable
communities and I continue to be SO
INSPIRED by the thousands of people
choosing to create loving
relationships with the natural world and
with each other and live in deeper
alignment with their core values
(compassion, voluntary simplicity,
abundance etc.). The 127th
community visit was to Circle
of Children in Triangle Lake outside Eugene, Oregon. You can attend their upcoming event - Tribal Essence - to help grow this powerful vision
if you feel connected to it as I do.
Partway through the visit, I was literally
moved to tears as I was witnessing what is
possible for our planet and her
inhabitants, already made reality by the
founders of this forming community and
school. Uniquely, they have adopted 60
acres with existing facilities (commercial
kitchen, gymnasium, lodges, office and
more), thereby providing transitional
housing and amenities as they grow the
ecovillage and neighborhoods over time.
Regardless, the youth and adults
stewarding this project are not wasting
any time and have already planted hundreds
of fruit and nut trees, large permaculture
gardens, as well as developed a curriculum for a year-round alternative school
and more...

Blessings
on your journey,
Amanda

Italian and
German and French, oh my!
We are receiving a lot of
enthusiasm from people around the world
who want access to show Within Reach.
This will also help with
showing the film in noisy venues, at
festivals and to share with the deaf and
