Anyone want to watch some video footage from the Magdalena Australia Festival 2003 over a cuppa at my place?

Hello friends and Magdalena family members,


I was looking through some old video footage from a couple of forums and outakes from Aotearoa Day recorded at the Magdalena Australia Festival 2003 recently and realized it's nearly 9 years since the festival and coming up to 4 years since our last Gathering! Wow! While I'm sure all of us continue to explore how various philosophies, practices and spiritualities inform and inspire performances in our own ways, this footage makes me wonder if it's again possible for us all to create another shared event 'sometime' in the future that might reconnect with or maybe echo some of the insights, dreams and observations envisioned at the festival?


With this view in mind, I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in coming over for a 'video' afternoon at my house on Saturday the 24th of March 2012 to view some of the footage from the 2003 festival as a sort of 'catalyst' for further dreaming? While I don't have much to share, you're welcome to enjoy what I have and if anyone else wants to bring food, drink, ideas, stories to share or if they have other footage from the festival or the 2008 Gathering they'd also like added to the mix feel free to bring that along too. My address details are below if you're interested and I hope you'll feel free to bring some friendly familiar or new faces along with you that might want to view some Magdalena history. I'd appreciate an RSVP by the 20th of March if you are coming along though just so I have a sense of what space is needed for viewing and how many cups might be needed for tea and coffee!

Will hope to hear from some of you soon and be wishing all of you much happiness and success even if I don't!

Gillian

Dear Gillian, 

I just posted an apology that came up twice. In trying to delete the repeat apology I seem to have deleted both your PS and Suzon's rsvp. So not only am I apologising that I cannot come on March 24 (it's a terrific idea and I'd love to come but already have day/night commitments), I am also apologising for erasing Suzon's rsvp!

Hope you host another similar event down the track - I would love to catch up.

With love, 

Dawn

Unfortunately, our wonderful web queen Helen says there's not much that can be done about the duplication of messages when sending replies until we get some extra $ to pay someone to fix some gremlins. So, maybe that's another goal to insert for the next event? Please don't worry about the messages being erased though as I'd already received Suzon's acceptance fo the 24th and my message was only an invitation for folks to reply here if they didn't want to call or email so all's good! As you know, I unpacked some inspiring video footage of women like you and Deb Bennet McLean speaking about plans for future engagement at the closing forum of 2003 Festival so you'll still be here in spirit...as will all the women of this international network who continue to work to support and encourage the expression of women voices and values through various projects around the world. Thanks to Annet in Bagdhad and Larissa in Perth for your good wishes from afar too. I'll be sure to mention your interest when we meet here in Brisbane on the 24th and hope for a chance to connect with you in future too! Til then, toasting to your health with a cup of tea and honouring the contributions and support of all in the network. Love, Gillian.

gosh, sorry there are so many problems - but thanks for persisting :) i'm not sure why things should get posted twice (are you sure your twitchy fingers didn't press "save" twice?) but if this one comes up twice i will add it to the long list of things we need to look at. in the meantime, at least the communication is working :)

And thanks for cleaning up the duplications on this page too! I'm pretty sure I only pressed save once but, hopefully, this 'reply'I'm now making to your comment won't be duplicated again! Keeping fingers crossed (which should stop unconscious twitching surely?) Gillian x

Thanks for introducing this idea, Gillian. 9 years, eh!! amazing. Unfortunately I have a long standing arrangement for that Saturday and won't be able to join you, but I will be there in spirit. 

Love and best wishes to all

Sue

Thanks for the rsvp and good wishes Sue! Hope you'll feel free to spread the word to anyone you think may be interested and available. Tis just an informal get together at the moment but who knows what can happen when strong talented women get together and dream of better things to come eh? Wishing you wonderful things til our paths cross again, G x

Very sorry that I won't be able to make it.

I will raise a cup of tea to you all and hope that it is an inspiring session and gives everyone who attends some added encouragement and impetus to create.

Love,

Katherine
