Whiteboard looking for a home
June 12, 2008 – 2:40 pmI am looking for a charitable home for a truly magnificent whiteboard. It’s huge and wonderful and on wheels, but it’s much too big for me to store anywhere so I reckoned that there must be a community centre who could use it and love it on a long term loan basis.
Update: 13/06/08: The whiteboard has been taken - and thanks for your interest
Look - isn’t it wonderful?
The ladies from The Pervasive Media Studio have given it to me and I reckon there must be a place it can live and be shared for good whiteboard action. The dump is too awful a place for this wondrous beastie.
It would be a great tool for my live tag surfing work at the forthcoming 2gether08 festival, but it really needs a home. I’m offering it to Knowle West Media Centre and trying to get in touch with Saint Werburgh’s community centre, but can anyone else think of a suitable home for this whiteboard in need of love?

How about the hub? Would be really handy for bluesky sessions and we’ve got the space…

I would like to declare my interest in providing a beautiful and appreciative home for the ‘Wondrous Whiteboard’. The Bright Light would use the whiteboard to help project-manage the development of an Eco-Retreat Centre. The centre functions as a place of environmental learning and healing and is run from our family home in the foothills of Snowdonia.
So far this year we have had several visitors staying with us to gain vital respite from the business and hustle and bustle of everyday life. People come to our remote sanctuary to refresh themselves with the brilliant and powerful healing that reconnecting with the natural environment provides.
Our family home has always been a destination for those seeking refuge and relaxation, and I am pleased to say that soon we will be able to accommodate others who wish to escape the grueling demands of routine and regain awareness along life’s path!
We provide several beautiful spaces to stay, including rooms in the main house, a caravan, camping green, a treehouse (about to go under repair) and, hopefully, we will soon have a yurt.
Accommodation is free, but contributions to the upkeep of the project by way of donation and practical help are requested. During a stay, guests will find peace and relaxation, whilst receiving holistic treatments and practising environmental sustainability.
Our desire is to share a source of inspiration and information for environmental artists and healers, and sanctuary for people who are in convalescence and recovery. We strive to provide opportunities for those that do not possess the finance or opportunity usually required for healing. However, this is dependent on the volunteers we have available. For more information about becoming a volunteer, copy and paste this URL into your browser:

Or visit http://www.wiserearth.org and search for ‘The Bright Light Cooperative’ under ‘organisations’ or ‘Project Coordinator’ under ‘jobs’. No website yet I’m afraid!
Anyhow, if Thhe Wondrous Whiteboard is still available and fancies a stay with The Bright Light, we would be very grateful for the adventure.
