AYUDH: Amma Youth Growin' Project 2009

As it's Amma's Green Year, Ayudh's latest project is all to do with young people growing organic veggies in small spaces. David is an organic grower with GreenFriends Ireland, and he made some great step-by-step clips at the European Youth Gathering in July, see below!
David says, 'Many young people live in flats and have limited outdoor space, but it's possible to grow organic food even on a balcony. The clips will help people to do that, even if they're completely new to gardening or organics'.
David and Aisha are starting up the Ayudh Growin' Project in Ireland, so pass the word to all the young people you know, and for more info contact info.ireland@ayudh.eu
The clip below is for making brilliant worm compost, but when you finish viewing, you'll find links to all the other clips, covering each step you need to know to grow your food, so - start growin'!!!

Re-Enchanting the World

Babel is a GreenFriends France ecology/community project that's been running for a couple of years now with notable success. It's based at Amma's Ashram in France (you can see how beautiful the place is from the clip below) where people gather for weekends to learn and practice things like eco-building, beekeeping and lots more. So hey - why not go along and get involved?

To keep in touch with what they're doing, download the Feb 09 issue of their newsletter in English here http://www.greenfriends-france.org/telecharger/e-mag_01_english.pdf or directly from the Magazine section on their homepage http://www.greenfriends-france.org/

GreenFriends Europe launches next April at the French Ashram and all Ireland GreenFriends are welcome :)

Babel!

Our first Skype Link-up for Satsang

Satsang is going on right now in Donegal and Galway - and Cork was linked in with Donegal via Skype for a while, so the entire country (almost) was singing together. Nice!
This was our very first trial with a satsang skype link-up in Ireland, all thanks to Simone and the intrepid Donegal group. It was lovely for us in Cork, a very special feeling of connecting across the country. Thanks for the idea, guys, let's do it again! We'll work on improving the sound quality and once that's ready, we can join up for national satsang evenings from all over Ireland :)

Amma Channel on YouTube

There's a great (official) Amma Channel on Youtube, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/ammafootage
The clip of Amma's visit to Kenya this year is on it - really beautiful and inspiring - have a look :)

Amma Ireland @ Electric Picnic this weekend

"When a collective of people pour their heart, soul, energy, enthusiasm, vision and passion into a space, you can be sure that the experience will be both magical and alchemical. It comes from the heart, and is infused with love!" ... the Body & Soul area at Electric Picnic

Amma will be represented at this tranquil and meditative space at the Electric Picnic Arts and Music Festival which attracts over 40,000 people every year, in Stradbally, Co. Laois. Amma Ireland will host a welcoming information point near the Healing area in the Body & Soul section.

Information on many things including Amma and her humanitarian projects, Amma Ireland, GreenFriends, Amma Youth and much more will be available for people new to Amma and those who would like to deepen their present understanding. There will also be showings of Amma's DVD 'Embracing the World', an Amma altar, samples of GreenFriends produce, books on Amma to browse and much much more.

If you're travelling to enjoy the Picnic this year, be sure to drop by and say hello.
