Website migration almost complete (again)

26th December 2017

​

We’ve been working hard on the digital front to bring a new format website to you. This website will allow contributors from all our participating projects to add stories of what they are doing, display available resources more effectively, create a marketplace, provide planning and management tools and more. As of today the data from the old site has been migrated and the new site can develop from here. This has now been done for a second time...

Loss of our wiki system

16th March 2015

​

It is with great sorrow we must acknowledge the loss of our wiki system. It crashed/was hacked with the loss of all data. While not much had been added to the system what was there was potent, especially the “Life is a Celebration” and “Magick” poems which were very warmly received. To everyone who contributed, thank-you.
