*Dear community currency supporter*

We think you may be interested in a *very special event *this summer.
Findhorn Ecovillage in Scotland is hosting *'On The Money - a Vision Quest
to the Heart of Local Money'*, a five day workshop for local currency
designers from  August 14-18, 2010.

*Why now?
*Local money will play a critical role in the transition to the resilient
communities of the future.
A few community currencies have succeeded and lasted decades. Many have not
sustained themselves.
After thousands of experiments around the world it is time to apply the
lessons learned to create a new generation of sustainable systems.

*What does the workshop cover?
*

   - Why, What, How, Who, Where and When of community currencies.
   - How to get past the initial enthusiasm and idealism to create a system
   that lasts.
   - How to choose the best design features.
   - How to involve your community in the development process.
   - The workshop will be high on methodology, low in ideology, as we
   critically engage with existing models and systems to identify what works
   best for your own situation.



*Who is leading it?
*John Rogers and Jonathan Dawson, both experienced community currency
acitivists and teachers.
With guest contributions from Richard Douthwaite, Margrit Kennedy and
Bernard Lietaer and other community currency practitioners.

We will learn together how to channel the idealism and enthusiasm driving
community currrencies into using the right tools to do the job of design
properly and create a quantum shift in practice.

Best wishes
