What actually promotes happiness and wellbeing?

RACHAEL
In a previous life Rachael was a civil engineer, followed by about ten years leading projects in organisational change, sustainability and social enterprise. She then ran away to the circus in Sheffield, studied a University Diploma of Yogic Education in France and finally came back to Australia to put everything together. She embodies so many things that I value and believe the world needs. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to give to her Start Some Good Campaign which will enable her to facilitate Clowning for Facilitators Workshops on the East Coast of Australia. These workshops will be amazing! They will help change the way we work, learn and educate through movement and play. To find out more or to give to Rachael's Start Some Good Campaign

Jamie seems to always be thinking and doing things to make this world a better place. One of her projects is the awesome Freo Green Guide (http://www.freogreenguide.com/). At the moment she is working on starting her business Green Scene - this will give her another avenue to do awesome work in the world. To get this business off the ground we have created a Community Starter Fund. I am excited about being part of the community that will kick start this fantastic business. If lots of people rally around start-up eco/social enterprises and support them in their initial stages when they need that extra support I think we will all benefit in the long run. Jamie has written a wonderful introduction to what she is doing - it also contains the details of how you can be part of the community that supports this fantastic eco-enterprise.

CLAIRE
After reflecting on the impact that the cult of speed and distractions 24/7 have on us personally, our community and the planet, Claire decided to quit her job and embark upon a Slow journey. Claire plans to conduct Slow experiments and travel slowly by bike across Australia. Claire is behind so many great projects, events and initiatives. She will be waiting until later this year to start a crowd-funding campaign for her Slow Journey (and I am really looking forward to helping make that happen). In the meantime I decided to give to another AWESOME project that Claire is involved in, the Freo Wind Farm.
