Origins Centre Update 5th June 2019
RAIN appears to be coming, much to the delight of all, especially the plants and the Origins water tanks. We are upgrading our tank plumbing to better enable the movement of water.
POTTERY WEEKENDS AND CLASSES with Anne are booking out. Registration is asked for all day attendees to weekend courses. All enquiries through Anne: origins.centre.coorain@gmail.com
This is a relatively new development at Origins and one that is most welcome. Mindfulness and pottery have an ancient relationship of course.
BRIDAL CREEPER, blackberry and east coast gums are demanding our attention (thank you Sholto and Adam for your work).
We have been given a few trays of seedlings from Ian in Margaret River which will get planted soon as well….many thanks.
DAY COURSES are becoming better established. There’s yoga, a men’s group, circle dancing, pottery, mindfulness, philosophy classes, dharma teaching and spoken word. We have a good working team and lots on. Many thanks to all who contribute in various ways. Everyone matters!
OPEN FLOOR DANCE AND MOVEMENT with Jamie and Juliana, rounded off the May retreat. They return to NZ and then go to teach in Brazil. Hopefully they will come again to Origins and WA. Thank you both and all good wishes for your good work.
OC IN HOUSE SHOP has many gifts of various kind. Everything in the shop is donated, and all money generated by the shop supports Origins directly. Thanks to everyone. If you make something you’d like to give the shop, please contact Lauren through the OC email.
AUDIO SUBSCRIPTION PROJECT
We are slowly getting together some audio files for a yearly subscription project, aimed at raising funds toward financing the back of house at Origins. Without that service working well, we can’t really deliver well.
There will be books, dharma text commentary, music and commentary by the composers themselves, spoken word, philosophy, poetry…..
If you would like to be a reader, using your phone and a quiet room, please get in touch. This could be a cool idea, we think.
We are working away on this project….what do you think?
The idea for now is 200 subscriptions at $75 each. New work would appear regularly; it’s our community of friends doing it all and there should be really good value. Perfect for car listening. It would earn half of our needs to support Origins.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC COLLABORATION WORKSHOP
On the 20th of July, Lachlan and an Artist in Residence will be hosting an electronic music group collaboration. They will playfully explore the process of making electronic music together. All are welcome and All can help make some music! Classes at 9:30am and 3pm. Cost by Dana.
THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL SUPPORT SO OFTEN GIVEN.
Thanks Richard for once again supporting OC by doing our audit. You are an old friend who has provided this vital service for years and we are very grateful.
Thanks to Ian for the seedlings and to Lachlan for picking them up.
Thanks to Troy for being onside for plumbing, cheers.
Thanks to Lachlan and Adam for keeping interest in men’s meeting in the Rotunda.
Thanks and welcome to the Mon Burmese community who visited with their Bikkhu right at the close of the retreat. Your offering of traditional food was a delight to all. Your visit was most auspicious. We hope to see you more!
