Tell us a bit more about yourself
I am a programmer who did a Computer Science Degree at UCT and then an MBA at Cranfield so that I could talk my clients language. I have been interested in renewables for about 5 years and this year decided to work towards reducing my carbon footprint. I am the chairman of the Milnerton Residents Association and a committee member of the Blaauwberg Ward 4 Forum. I am not scared to try new things and won't give up easily. I studied Reiki with Shanu van der Berg at Moonshadow. Interestingly now I'm a Reiki Master, I find myself involved in many forms of healing, not just Reiki.
Hi David - please create a group (mailing list) for your members and get them all to join - and please also post stories (discussions) about how to get 'off the grid'.
Thanks
Hi David - it would be great if you could make it through next Saturday with anything (energy related) you have to "show and tell" about. Pippa Solomon is doing the detailed logistics stuff and so it would be good to keep her in the loop. Will email her details. My wife Sandy would be keen to hear about some of your healing ideas.
All the best. Patrick
