"our space"

As a team we are always stoked to have people come in and share "our space". We see our office as not just a place for ourselves but for any individuals or groups who share a similar vision and passion for change in the World. We see it being a hub for collaboration a place where collective design and innovation can begin and genuine community to be built.

It was an honor and a privilege to have the Awakening the Dreamer crew in here over the labour weekend. We are excited to have then back when they are next in town.



Over the weekend a training for Facilitators of the Awakening the
Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium was held at the OTE Office. This is the second training in New Zealand in the work of bridging environmental sustainabillity, social justice and emotional and psychological fulfilment.

For more information on the Symposium, you can see a trailer at

If you or anyone you know mite be interested in sharing the space with us then please share the word and be in touch at leadership@ontheedgetrust.com

Much Love,
the OTE Crew

And so it begins...

Hi everyone! Welcome to the ON THE EDGE (OTE) blog.
From now on, this fortnightly update will keep you in the loop with the latest OTE project and event info.

Our big news is that we have Ben back working full-time and things are starting to crank. We have confirmed the Trust Board for 2008/09: Kaylee Donald, Jake Hocking, Carrone Conroy, Saimon Lomaloma and Ben Irving. Best of all, we have a mean new office located above 4 Kings Bar, in the Hope Gibbons Building (see map here). We now have ample room for ideas to flow and inspiration to grow.

In terms of growth, our crew has been given a boost with several new volunteers coming on board. Also, the OTE conference is shaping up to be the biggest to date. In previous years we've kept numbers to 180 but with a bigger team and greater resources we've been able to raise this number to 300 (you can look forward to registrations in February 09).

You can now join us on Facebook (join here), so don't be strangers.

Much Love,
the OTE Crew
