Hi

This is something I thought you might be interested in or an organistion you know of might be interested in.....

Have you heard of the Prana New Year's festival? It attracts about 1000 to1500 conscious creative people. It's a really fun relaxed event, family friendly, ecologically aware, financially un-sponsored and smoke and alcohol abuse free. It happens at Ohui, the far end of Opoutere beach in the Coromandel. For more info go to www.prana.co.nz

This year we are creating a new Sustainability Village where organisations who are really contributing to sustainable living will have stalls where they can share information with festival goers. The aim is to provide a space where people can hang out and learn more about how to live sustainably and the specific skills needed for this. To encourage this to happen we are offering a free stall and two free tickets per stall to any appropriate organisations. The organisation has to be non-commercial and not-for-profit in order to qualify.
