Updated Tuesday, April 22 - happy earth day and happy birthday to my favourite cellist Genevieve Guimond

Hey, all you wonderful Gaia people who will be anywhere near Montreal on

Sunday, April 27, at 2 pm!


Meet us at this Venue: Café L'Etranger
680, rue Ste-Catherine O corner University

You are all welcome to join us for coffee and conversation.

Please RSVP by commenting on this blog or sending me a message or by signing up on my
meetup page

Looking forward to seeing you!

Here are some of the questions we may discuss if people wish:

Question 1: How can we best prepare our children for the future?

Question 2: What does sustainability look like to you? How do we get there?

Question 3: How do humans need to adapt to survive the changes predicted for this century?


Question 4: How do we shift from “Me” to “We” on both the local and global levels?

Question 5: How can you, as Gandhi said, be the change that you want to see in the world?

Question 6: What kind of economic structures can best support a shift to sustainable living?

Question 7: How should we re-invent the political process so that people feel that they have a voice?

Question 8: What kind of leadership does the world need now?


Question 9: How can we balance our personal needs with the most pressing needs of our community and the larger world?


Question 10: What can we do to reduce or eliminate violence in the world?


Question 11: What is the most important question in world today – to you?


Light, peace, and joy,

Nicole

I love your poster, “your soul is alive.”  Beautiful image and words.

I wish I could be there, too. I hope that many can make it for coffee, it will be a lovely connection. (I think it's brilliant of you to make it specific, a date and a time—it gives people something clear to plan on and around.)

Albert :) so sweet of you but it's waaay too far … light and peace!

Hey! this is so cool… got this email today… is there any Montrealer living in an apartment who would like to be interviewed?

Hi Nicole,

I only vaguely aware of the concept of Gaia, but I am
interested and I think I may be able to help you spread the
word … indirectly.

I am the freelance journalist who does the Gazette's weekly
home interview/profile, Shelter.

I am always looking to interview new people, and I can help
them by giving exposure to the things they are interested in to
the large readership of the Saturday Gazette. Writing fellow
members of meetup is one the many ways way I connect with
people to interview. I hope you don't mind me writing.

I would love to interview you and/or any other Gaia group
member in Shelter.

Shelter is a very popular feature. I don't know, maybe 100,000
people read it or so.

The interview takes about a half hour, we talk about the
neighbourhood, how you found the place, whether you recommend
the neighbourhood, and we talk about what you do – in your
case highlighting your Gaia-related activities.

We talk about all kinds of things – always upbeat and
energetic.

It's good for me because I get to file another article and keep
on working at this job I love.

Anyway, you would have to live in an apartment/condo/duplex or
triplex unit, etc. – But it's not for people who live in an
actual house.

If you would like to do the interview, please let me know as
soon as possible so I can book a photographer.

I can send you some sample articles. If you live in a house and
can't do the interview, do you know someone in an apartment or
condo who would be interested?

Thanks for your time,

J.D. Gravenor

Sadly, I don't get out much.
Well, at least not out of Ottawa much.
That day I will be in the ER working - but in fact I am always either in the ER working or being trailed by hoards of teenage boys.  :)
Thank you for inviting and I hope you have fun!

It was so great! we had Nicolas and Eva, Francis, Gisele and Jean-Francois so it was all in French, very exciting and intense. In fact still going when i left at 4 pm :) Regrets from Dovvski, BB, David M. and a couple of others.

Next meeting - Sunday June 1, 2-4 pm same place (thanks Dovvski! we all loved the cafe and it was the first time there for us all!)
