Tuva Camp 2008

2007-11-17T21:36:35Z

Dear Friends

Thank you for your interest to our music.

Last summer we held a throat singing camp in Tuva.

We had 14 students from around the world - 8 of them were from the US, 2 from Australia
2 from Denmark, 1 from France, 1 from England.
After arriving in Tuva, the students spent 1 week in Kyzyl, the capital city.
They were able to see many tourist attractions, see a Tuvan shaman,
and attend the Naadym - National Harvest Celebration.

The students then went on to spend 1 week in the deep taiga, with members of the Tuvan throat singing group Chirgilchin,
learning various styles of throat singing, traditional Tuvan instruments, as well as the Tuvan language.

This summer, we are trying to get 2 groups to go to Tuva again, in either June or July.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Please check our photos made by Russell Roesner - our student.

room to sublet

2006-12-18T08:04:05Z

well beautiful people, once again, I am abandoning y'all for the sunshine and smiles of Thailand...

But my cats and my roomate, Ola, will be lonely in the house all alone, so we decided to try and sublet my room while I am gone , January and February. It is a lovely big bright room in a sweet house in Vesuvius. Wood floors, vaulted ceilings, pellet stove, room to dance, what else would ya like to know?

We have not got a firm rent in mind,maybe $250 a month? shared utilities. But we are taking offers, if you get along well with Ola and love cats that will work in your favor!

Let me know if you are interested.
Have a most Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Post effects everyone in BC

2006-12-15T05:21:47Z

Ok. The following effects everyone working and living and paying taxes in BC so i am posting everywhere I can. please read. and then email and talk to everyone you know about it and what to do about it.

Here is some information about the unheard of Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement between BC and Alberta.

I want to make two points and then a plee before you read the article.

1)"The Agricultural Land Commission, the
Island Trusts, regional districts and land use restrictions in
provincial parks will all be vulnerable to a TILMA challenge as of next
April (2007)." - This is for any evironmentalist on the culture jamming list and beyond.

2 )"They could then be challenged for
regulating the size and location of commercial signs and billboards,
imposing height restrictions on buildings, or requiring green space
allocations from developers." - For all you cultural jammers out there, you are going to have a lot of work on your hands. all those new billboards, popping up everywhere.

My plee: I don't know of any actions/campaigns against this agreement, yet. I hope i will find some to inform you all of. But from where I stand, we need to do something. What? Don't know that part yet. But I think we might be able to angle it from the illegitimacy of the agreement (" no legislation introduced to give it legitimacy")
I just really want to get a discussion on this going. So any thoughts would be great.
I will attach the original article as well on the bottom.

fighting till my last breath,
jax

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

December 13, 2006

Murray Dobbin

Last April the governments of B.C. and Alberta signed an agreement
called the Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA).
There was no public notice, little media coverage, no legislation
introduced to give it legitimacy and no debate in the legislature. The
Alberta-based think tank, the Canada West Foundation, says TILMA will
rid the provinces of barriers that "frustrate business".

The most draconian aspect of TILMA is its investment provisions. Once
the agreement enters into force on April 1, 2007, individuals and
businesses will gain the right to launch complaints and get up to $5
million in awards against governments just because they “restrict”
investment. Since pretty much everything a government does in some way
restricts investment, the two provinces are in for a wild ride.

TILMA claims will be decided by NAFTA-like panels.

What are some examples of government restrictions on investment that
could be challenged under TILMA? TILMA has some exceptions, but land use
planning is not one of them. The Agricultural Land Commission, the
Island Trusts, regional districts and land use restrictions in
provincial parks will all be vulnerable to a TILMA challenge as of next
April. Municipalities will have a two-year grace period before the
government extends TILMA to them. They could then be challenged for
regulating the size and location of commercial signs and billboards,
imposing height restrictions on buildings, or requiring green space
allocations from developers. And they can be challenged starting in
April if they introduce bylaws that are stricter than their existing ones.

We can get some idea of what we might be in for by looking at Oregon. A
ballot measure approved in 2004 gives property owners there the right to
sue for compensation for anything the state or local governments do that
restricts the value of their property. The result is the effective end
of land use planning. According to Sheila Martin, Director of the
Institute of Portland Metropolitan Studies, the ballot measure has
resulted in over 6,000 claims totalling over $6 billion.

“The biggest impact of the measure,” says Martin, “has been on Oregon’s
land use regulations which seek to protect farm and forest land.” Land
use deregulation outside the cities has Martin especially worried: “The
urban growth boundary will become ‘leaky,’ releasing pressure for higher
density in the cities.” Many challenges have been filed against “sign
ordinances” regulating the size and location of commercial signs.

Like the dilemma BC and Alberta will face under TILMA, Oregon is now
having to decide whether to pay compensation to keep their regulations,
or waive them for the complainant. The trouble is, there is no limit to
the number of claims that can be made against a single regulation - so
if you want to keep it, you have to keep paying.

How many claims will BC get? Oregon allows anyone with property in the
state to sue over land use regulation. TILMA gives Albertans the right
to sue BC over restrictions on their BC investments, and vice versa. But
Gordon Campbell is hocking TILMA to all the other provinces to get them
to sign on, which would expand the potential number of complaints
against BC. And under TILMA complaints can be made against a wide range
of government regulations or programs, not just land use planning.

TILMA allows for a limited number of “Legitimate Objectives” so
governments can try to defend themselves before a dispute panel, arguing
their regulations were "necessary." But nothing in TILMA recognizes the
kind of quality of life objectives served by land use planning.
Moreover, a government would also have to demonstrate that its measure
is not more restrictive to business than necessary to achieve its
objectives.

BC officials are making extravagant claims about trade barriers between
the provinces, suggesting that TILMA could “save” BC $4.8 billion - an
eye-popping figure, equivalent to what BC earns annually from its
softwood exports to the US. In October, federal officials told a Senate
committee that reliable studies have estimated inter-provincial trade
barriers to be about one tenth the amount BC is claiming, and vary
depending on what is defined as a trade barrier. Is the removal of land
use restrictions part of the "benefits" to be gained by TILMA? What
about the drop in property values that could result from uncontrolled
development?

Alberta cabinet minister Gary Mar told a Richmond business audience the
easy process TILMA provides for complaints to be taken against
governments is "everything Canadian business asked for." He was right
about that. But what about everyone else?

Agreement cuts provincial powers to govern

Winnipeg Free Press

Fri Nov 3 2006

By Murray Dobbin

WHAT if a provincial government signed an agreement forcing it to make
most of its regulations identical to those of another province? What if
this government voluntarily made itself, and every municipality within
its borders, open to lawsuits over virtually anything it did that
restricted investment? What if it tied its own hands so that, no matter
how much a region was suffering economically, it could not provide
assistance that might "distort investment decisions?"

Well, there are no "what ifs" about it. This past spring, B.C.'s Gordon
Campbell and Alberta's Ralph Klein signed an agreement with exactly
these sweeping constraints on the ability to govern. It is called the
Trade, Investment, and Labour Mobility Agreement. B.C. and Alberta trade
officials are now shopping it around to other provinces to get them to
sign on. The agreement comes into effect next April.

According to Todd Hirsch of the Canada West Foundation, the agreement
could erase the borders between B.C. and Alberta so that the only
differences between them will be "voting and the colour of the licence
plate."

Except, once the agreement comes into full force, voting provincially in
B.C. and Alberta could be a waste of time.

Under the agreement, the B.C. or Alberta government will be barred from
doing anything that could "impair or restrict" trade, not only between
the provinces but also through them to another province or country. One
article just flatly decrees that there shall be "No Obstacles" to this
trade.

Governments will be prohibited from providing subsidies that either
directly or indirectly "distort investment decisions."
Click here to find out more!
Some exceptions, such as for water, are permitted but even these are to
be reviewed annually to get them reduced.

The agreement also requires B.C. and Alberta to "mutually recognize or
otherwise reconcile their existing standards and regulations" if these
"impair or restrict" trade, investment or labour mobility. Then it
prohibits new regulations from being introduced that would have these
effects. Since regulation always restricts investment in some way, the
result will be that all future B.C. and Alberta governments will be
prevented from strengthening their regulations.

How exactly is this going to work? What would happen, for example, if
B.C. voters decided they had had enough of leaky condos and voted for a
party committed to tougher construction regulations? A government
elected on such a commitment would quickly find it had to betray its
promise or be vulnerable to a trade investment challenge.

Plus if either province considers any new initiatives, it has to give
the other party to the agreement the right to comment in advance and is
then obligated to "take the other province's comments into
consideration." In sharp contrast, citizens in B.C. and Alberta were
never consulted by their own governments on this astonishing agreement.

As part of their sales job, Alberta's Gary Mar and B.C.'s Colin Hansen
have claimed the agreement will not result in lower provincial standards
-- just ones that are "appropriate." In reality, however, the agreement
can only lead to deregulation because businesses are only likely to sue
governments over regulations they think are too high, not ones that are
too weak. In a vastly expanded version of provisions in NAFTA, any
resident of B.C. or Alberta will gain extensive new grounds to sue
government. A dispute panel will be empowered to make binding decisions
and grant compensation of up to $5 million for any government action
that violates the agreement. Repeated complaints can be taken about the
same government policy or regulation.

Governments can go on bended knee to trade investment panels and argue
that their regulations were "necessary," but trade dispute panels rarely
accept such arguments. Plus, this agreement only recognizes a limited
list of regulatory objectives as "legitimate."

For example, a city's desire to prevent urban blight is not on the list
of legitimate objectives, so municipal bans on billboards would likely
be a violation.

No wonder Gary Mar could tell a business audience in Richmond that the
dispute process is "everything Canadian business asked for."
The pact creates endless potential for litigation against government
right down to the school board level, without any demonstrable benefit.
A 1998 study done for the B.C. government found that: "efforts to
liberalize interprovincial trade will have almost no effect on trade
flows. The reality is that interprovincial trade barriers are already
very low."

As for labour mobility, all of provisions for increased labour mobility
will already be covered in Premier Gary Doer's initiative to see
professional requirements harmonized across Canada.

To sum up, the agreement pretty much bans new regulation and government
assistance for economic development. Perhaps in anticipation of the
pact, the B.C. legislature's fall sitting was cancelled with the
government claiming there was not enough to do. When asked about the
constitutionality of the agreement, Steven Shrybman, a partner in the
law firm of Sack, Goldblatt, and Mitchell, commented that "a basic
principle of constitutional law is that a government cannot fetter its
own legislative prerogatives by abandoning its authority to govern."

Sounds like what the Trade, Investment, and Labour Mobility Agreement is
all about.

Looking for Land for event

2006-05-23T20:52:06Z

I'm looking to rent a piece of private land ( preferably at least partially treed with a field)
with few to no close neighbors for a summer solstice celebration June 24th, 2006.

The event will be a conscious trance-dance, with STRICTLY NO ALCOHOL. It will run
from 6pm Sat June 24th until 3pm sunday June 25th. We take great care to ensure that
our gatherings are safe, conscious events that promote healing, and give people a
safe space to let go.

This gathering in particular will feature a "Love Portal", a quantum healing device that will
allow projection of love to any space, any time, any person.

I am willing to pay between $300 - $500 for the land for this event, payable at the event's
completion. ( I would be willing to pay a small damage deposit, so long as it is refundable).

If you or someone you know has land that fits this description in the Saltspring/ Southern Gulf Islands,
or in Sooke/Saanich/Sidney/Duncan area, please contact me at punkpuffin@hotmail.com, or respond to
this thread.

More event information available at www.rainbowcathedral.com (click on events)

Thank you.

May you paths be illuminated by the light of unconditional love.

Kundalini Dance

2006-04-28T16:54:45Z

Greetings, this is a shout out to see if there's interest and a suitable venue on Salt Spring for a Kundalini Dance workshop with Luna Ravenchild in 2006. As her promoter and participant in the workshops she offers I am eager to bring an introduction to this form to as many new places as possible this year. For a look at what this is about check out www.ekstasisdance.com as well as www.kundalini-dance.com. This has been introduced at festivals in 2005 including Journey of the Shaman (Oracle Gathering in Washington State),Shambhala Festival, and Burning Man.

If you know of a venue that is available for a weekend, has good floors,preferably a soundsystem of its own that a laptop can plug into,that can accomodate at least 20 dancers please let me know,especially if you are interested in participating. A discount can be awarded for significant assistance given to bringing Kundalini Dance to Salt Spring Island. Preferred timing would be in the springtime and summer. Luna is also available for existing festivals,events that could use her workshop in a 1.5-2hr format.

Blessings to all. Sweat your prayers,

(Africa Arabia Asia) mix often opens a portal to the divine"
- Los Angeles Weekly

Friday 3rd March
Beaver Point Hall, 9pm.
first 50 tix sold at the door for $15.00, then $20.00

The legendary dj & producer Cheb I Sabbah returns to the West Coast...
San Fran based DJ Cheb has been spinning discs longer than most of us
have been alive.
He left his native Algeria in the 1960s, and has made a career out of
blending music from all over the world into kaleidoscopic, dance-floor
mixes ever since. His first three masterful albums for Six Degrees
Records, Shri Durga (1999), MahaMaya - Shri Durga ReMixed (2000), and
Krishna Lila (2002), are cult classics in which India's time-honored
traditions merge with the universe of possibilities afforded by
contemporary recording technology. Most recently, on La Kahena, Cheb
returns to his North African roots, collaborating with some of the most
distinctive female singers from the Maghreb.

Don't miss this rare opportunity!

My hours are being cut down at one of my jobs and my other job isn't offering me more hours. So I need to find another (3rd) part time job or a full time position. I need a decent wage since I am a single mom. Please let me know if you hear of anything on SSI.
Thanks so much

everyone. Once this project is complete it will be a cornerstone
of community development, offering individuals a place to
experience deep healing and restoration, as well as a venue for
holistic education, celebrations, group retreats and conferences.

This land is powerful, but it needs a community to develop it. In
order for this dream to become a reality we need your help! This

weekend of work, yoga, laughter, dance, and fun as we clean up the
land and prepare to build the world?s newest holistic retreat

Karma Yoga: The Yoga of Action or Selfless Service

In the Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most revered of all the ancient
yoga texts, Krishna tells the conflicted warrior Arjuna, "You have
the right to work, but for the work's sake only. You have no right
to the fruits of the work." With these words, Krishna presents a
timeless vision of karma yoga, the path of self-transcendent
action. Krishna's teaching allows Arjuna to see that when we act
without regard for rewards and because life presents the
opportunity and responsibility to act, we can lose our selves and
experience atman, the oneness that the discipline of yoga is all
about.

Hi,

I am planning to relocate to Salt Spring Island as soon as possible and would like any information as to who might be hiring. I have experience within the restaurant industry, both serving and bartending, and I also have experience doing counter service. I have also worked in the video and film industry as an editor and doing composites, as well as a professional hair and makeup artist. Additionally, I also have customer service experience. I am presently studying yoga with the intention of doing my teaching certification and I also practice reiki and am a certified aromatherapist. I do have a resume that explains the above in a much more clarified manner and it is available upon request. If anyone knows of a possibility or two or three, I would love to hear from you. Thanks!

The Dream CO(llective)

2005-04-07T03:09:25Z

So, many of you may be familiar with me from parties, fire performances, various sexual astrology posts, or pleas for rides between LA and San Francisco. It's possible that I've talked to (or at!) you about Dream Co(llective) and how I want to establish a travelling higher conscious show with organic food, conscious music, psychedelic art, clothing and cool shit made from recycled materials, along with information on alternative ways to live outside the box, eat healthy, heal yourself naturally, etc. All broadcast by pirate radio/internet radio of course, and transported by bio-diesel buses.
Now, I want to leave every party I throw open to donations, let people pay what they can afford so everyone who wants to, gets to come. If you know me, you know I do my work with astrological guidance and Goddess oracle advice on the same principle, helping people comes first and everything else is secondary. So here's what I'm trying to do...below is a list of some of the skills I have. It's not all of them, just the ones I can think of right now. I've lead a diverse, crazy and highly nomadic lifestyle with one of the strangest array of work skills of anyone I know, so if you need something done, chances are I can do it. I'm offering my skills in exchange for any help at all with making this dream a reality:

-Freelance writer, researcher, fact checker and editor for 10 years professionally
-Astrologer -specializing in the astrology of human sexuality and relationships
-Tarot card reader -The Goddess Guidance Oracle cards, which are source of feminine wisdom and guidance.
-PR work
-Hand drummer
-Fire poi spinner
-Erotic poet and custom writer of erotic fiction
-Photographer
-Event promoter
-Talent agent - specializing in fire artists, drummers, jugglers, circus talent, etc.
-PA (both production assistant and personal assistant)
-Gourmet chef:including vegetarian and raw
-Film editor (AVID system)
-House/pet sitter
-Dog walker
-Horse groomer
-Pirate radio station DJ/owner
-Club DJ
- Medical marijuana work
-Secretary (type 65 words per minute average speed)
-Transcriber
-Carpenters assistant, drywall assistant, painter, gardener, various other manual labor jobs
-Au pair
-Tutor for ESL students and children

I'll be travelling northward soon, hoping to throw the first Dream CO(llective) show on Hornby Island in BC on 4/20. Keep checking the Dream CO(llective) tribe for updates.

Our first show will be no later than June 21st, on the day of 24 hour daylight in either Alaska or the Yukon, currently working out locations for both to see which is most feasible. So money, materials, laptops, transport, equipment (preferably attached to people who want to come and check it out) etc are all good. I'm aware that this is a long shot, but I want all those little places that have no clue what Burning man is all about to have their eyes opened, too. We coastal communities are lucky because we have information sources to enlighten us and open our eyes. I'd like the rest of North America to get that same chance.

2004-08-10T19:14:08Z

hi there everyone,
I'm coming on holiday out west (from Montreal) and have many questions ...

How far is Saltspring Island from Ucluelet (in transportation time not km) ?

Is there transportation between the two that is not too complicated (bus and ferry) for someone with lots of baggage/tent, etc., ?

How long would it take to see Saltspring island ? could it be done on a day tour ?

What are some of the most scenic/beautiful spots I should see ?

Is there a bus that goes through the entire island that wouldn't cost too much ?
