Oregon Country Fair and Welcome to Aaron!

This past weekend, July 9 - 11th, D.r.e.e.m. Reality sent up a camp at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta. It was a beautiful arts and music fair with amazing people and creativity. We set up our camp with the D.r.e.e.m. Reality banner flying. We had brought pamphlets of course, so created a small pamphlet holder out of a discarded coconut water drink box, then tied it to the tree! People took lots of Pamphlets and it always feels good to have people ask questions.

There was an "Energy Park" and "Intentional Communities" section of the fair. We spent a significant amount of time exploring these areas. Specifically, we connected with an Oregon Ecovillage called Lost Valley. They are also an educational non-profit that has been up and running for a while, and we know we will be learning a lot from them. It is our plan to participate in their internship program as well as to take their "Social Permaculture and Community Design" class as soon as possible - probably after the upcoming Hawaiian Research Project! This class will help us understand the essential inner-workings of the social glue that is necessary in starting and maintaining a successful organization and community.

In total, we had four of our Directors present for this Fair. Dani, Melinda, Annette, and our newest Director - Aaron Noble!

WELCOME AARON!

Aaron is truly an amazing addition to our D.r.e.e.m. Team. His drive and awareness is more than impressive, as he has already established his own operating ministry. He also is a powerful yoga instructor (I know, I've taken his class!), as well as a vibrational sound healer. We know he will prove to be an essential member of the Team!
