KARAKA, THE SEED OF THE CHANGE

Impressions of the day: 6. Oktober 2011 I am very grateful for this day. We have welcomed Gaetan into the Karaka tribe - thanks again Gaetan for your support. I would also like to thank Nuna Bizness for her comment on our Facebook site http://www.facebook.com/OffGridPeople/posts/10150397568087363 I am quite new to all the social media stuff and I am learning so much every day. First time in history each of us has the power to reach so many people with one strong idea - it makes me really excited. I can hardly wait to boar the Karaka and do this film. Dear friends your comments regarding the project are very much appreciated, you can help me fine tune it. I am planning to add some rewards (T-shirts and some other stuff -check it out later) Thank you for your interest in the project.

Impressions of the day: 11. October 2011 Today is one month since the start of "KARAKA, THE SEED OF THE CHANGE" project here on the Rocket hub. And it is a great day; we got two new fuelers: GWEN and BRUCE thank you both again for your support. I would like to open a discussion here about the film theme. Your feedback regarding the film topic is very much appreciated. You can contribute to it so we can develop the film to its fullest potential, to be the sleek elegant rocket delivering the message to all the people with open mind out there who would like to hear it. So for the moment film contains following themes: - personal story about Tom and how was he able to realize his Dream. I believe I am very good at transferring peoples stories into the film language. So this story will definitely be included in the film - stories about people who will board on Karaka - me included. Will our lives be transformed by the Karaka experience? -story about the dead end of our civilization and how can each of us improve our impact on the planet - story about how each of us can reduce the fear which is inhibiting us to live more free life - Life that each of us dream of. - story about what each of us can do to realize our life Dreams. - story about amazing places on the Karaka voyage So that makes a lot of themes and topics. To make the best impact, one of those themes (or maybe you have a suggestion for another theme) should be our central theme. Which one would you like to see the most? Maybe you have some suggestions how this themes can be developed? I would be very grateful for your feedback. That is why I will give more rewards, for the people who can´t donate the fuel but are willing to contribute to the film. So here is another reward: DVD WITH FINISHED FILM will go to people with top suggestions regarding the film topic, theme or other cool suggestions/ feedback. Thank you. I am very grateful to be able to connect to all of you who would like to do something meaningful with your lives. Yours, Simon
