I've not been posting as much on Tribe.net since using facebook.com ...but I don't want to loose touch with all you amazing people, so here is an update.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++Tribes++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I got a job at a K to 8th grade school being a "citizenship facilitator" here at home in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Gotta love it when positions are created for you! All teachers at this public school are trained in the TRIBES process.
From the Tribes workbook: "The first custom of the Tribes process , no matter where it is used, is to invite people to reflect upon and share their own experiences. The outcome of the Tribes process is to develop a positive environment that promotes human growth and learning. Throughout the process people learn to use specific collaborative skills, and to reflect both on the interaction and the learning that is taking place. The Tribes process not only establishes a caring environment for cooperative learning, but provides structure for positive learning interaction and continuity for working groups whether in the classroom, the faculty, the administration or the parent community."
This is a HUGE step forward in creating a more egalitarian culture, and I'm stoked to be taking part. If you are a teacher, search for "Tribes by Jeanne Gibbs".
++++++++++++++++++++++Stitch Uganda Together++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm busy sewing hammocks to fund Opok Farm in Uganda, a re-settlement village for 150 child-headed families. You can learn more and make a donation to support it here: www.givemeaning.com/proposal/OpokFarms .
Or buy a hammock($50)... made with the lightest and most durable materials... rip-stop nylon and climbing webbing. You can see them at www.actionheronetwork.net ... email me if you want one... cor.contact@gmail.com ....I can have it to you by Christmas if you order now!
If you use Facebook.... you can join Stitch Uganda Together and stay updated on my project and other positive efforts in Uganda: www.facebook.com/group.php
Updates are also posted through the Action Hero Google group(all action heroes are invited to post to this list): groups.google.com/group/Act...ro-Network
And there's the Action Hero tribe, where I also post, and invite you to share what matters most: actionhero.tribe.net
+++++++++++++++++Mazatlan Awareness Festival++++++++++++++++++++
The Roblito Community for Cultural Exchange in Central Mexico had more than a dozen participants gathered through Tribe.net take part last winter. Together our crew donated 5 bikes, dozens of soccer shoes, a piano, a guitar, a dozen dance hoops and a sewing machine. We renovated a playground, did a couple garbage sweeps, lots of beading workshops with mothers and kids, plenty of adventures, life enhancing experiences(Ayahuasca), and general silliness.
In Mazatlan, I made a lot of friends in the tourism industry, and have begun to gather people around the idea of developing a Mazatlan Awareness Festival. Again, if you use Facebook, this is where we are gathering, because more people from Canada and Mexico use it: www.facebook.com/group.php
Below is an invitation and outline to gather interest in this idea. I'll be keen to have you join the circle.
I'd be happy to connect with your through facebook if you also want to be friends there: www.facebook.com/profile.php
What you are working on? Maybe I can help someone find you?
Enjoy your journey!

Hi everyone! Thanks for your interest in the Mazatlan Awareness Festival. This can go many directions. It depends on who gets involved.
The intention is to bring "awareness" to Mazatlan in two different ways:
In co-operation with tourism operators in Mazatlan and surrounding area, we will increase general awareness of all that the region has to offer through the internet and marketing at festivals and schools in Canada and USA, establishing Mazatlan as a center for eco-tourism.
For the sake of all life on this planet, we must create cultural awareness and build a sustainable infrastructure that support healthy habits and reduce energy consumption. This is a time of great change. We have a lot of work to do in the areas of community organization, understanding natural cycles and learning to live in harmony with nature.
Personally, this festival is an opportunity to unite in a beautiful place with people I love or want to know better, and I am developing tourism businesses to support cultural education centers. My life's purpose is to create and inspire gathering places all over the planet that increase awareness, create solutions, spread love, and help people of all income levels to discover true freedom. I'm open to working with anyone who shares these ideals. We are all on the same team.
Our goal is to create experiences that are culturally rich and creative, luxurious and affordable.
~ Possible outline ~
Day 1:
Morning yoga at Villa Margarita Spa with Roberta.
Afternoon Whale watching with Oscar of Onca Explorations.
Evening presentations and networking at Playa Mazatlan Hotel.
Day 2:
Bus to Palmillas.
Kayak to Roblito with Paul of Sendero Mexico, through Agua Grande estuary.
Camp or stay with a family in Roblito (www.solomax.com/roblito.html).
Day 3:
Fishing, surfing, horseback riding, and bird watching.
Finish day with campfire stories, songs, and history lesson about ancient shell mounds.
Day 3:
Garbage sweep the village and create art with found objects.
Cooking lessons become a feast that includes the entire town, which leads to a dance party.
Day 4:
Bike to hot springs and camp for the night.
Day 5:
Bike to Palmillas, try some rock climbing on the way. Stay the night at Elfego's.
Day 6:
Climb Cerro Del Muerto, bus back to Mazatlan for a relaxing ocean-side dinner at Playa Mazatlan Hotel, followed by presentations and reflections.
Day 7:
Form groups to work on community projects.
------------------------------ TAKE PART ------------------------------
We would all love to see your favorite images of Mazatlan in our group photo album. There are currently 115 images I shot last winter. More can be seen at: actionhero.smugmug.com
Please introduce yourself and share your thoughts on our wall. This festival could be a very important networking opportunity for whatever you want to do. Maybe you’ll find a new friend or passion that will take your life in a totally new direction.
I’m calling together action heroes from everywhere to sit in a circle in Mazatlan, and I hope you do the same. We might as well start passing the talking stick now to get to know each other. There are already a lot of amazing people in this circle.
If you want to invite a lot of people from your list of friends to join this group, you are welcome to be an admin, which makes the task much easier.

We Are Many is another “awareness” festival that we could learn from: www.facebook.com/group.php
“The We Are Many Arts and Environmental Festival will take place in Saskatoon(Canada) in August 2008. The organizers, a group of individuals from Saskatoon and elsewhere, have incorporated themselves as a not-for-profit entity to take action for environmental sustainability.”
The Evolve Festival(www.evolvefestival.com) is another great gathering I am involved with here in Eastern Canada. The owner of Evolve, Jonas Colter, is a member of the Mazatlan Awareness Festival group. You can see images I shot at this event (pages 7 to 19): www.facebook.com/photo_search.php
www.solomax.com/roblito.html --- The village of Roblito is a fishing and farming community on Mexico's Central Pacific Coast -- where Aztecs lived before making Mexico City. The Roblito Community Center for Cultural Exchange is a project between the Action Hero Network and the people of Roblito to share ideas and opportunities that foster education and culture.
