Special Sale Of AERO Audio And Videos For E-mail Delivery!!

If you've bought DVDs of the keynotes at AERO conferences in the past you know that the quality has been uneven. But this is the year to get them, as well as the audio of the workshops. We can now send you by e-mail or by thumb drive any or all of the audio or video of the keynotes, and 42 of the audio of the workshops. And if you prefer, we can still send you DVDs of the keynotes and CDs of the workshops. But we're only going to do this for a limited time. It takes some work and as you know, we're already working on the second regional AEROx and the next School Starter Course.

So, we're drastically cutting the price for these videos and audio, but this will probably be the last week you can order them.

One clue that these keynotes and workshops were really great this year is that many of the orders so far were from people who were at the conference, and they should know best. And many of them had already received videos and audios that were made on the spot by Back Country Recording. Of course, some of you not from the Northwest were not able to get to the conference this year, so you should definitely order these while you can.

To give you idea of the quality we've made a short sampler for you here

Also, as a bonus, here's a link to the School Starter's Workshop (the next course will start in September). 

In our last notice, we accidentally left shipping in. that's gone now. Of course, there is no shipping for a video or audio sent by e-mail!

Now the price to download the audio for an individual workshop or keynote is $5, the video for an individual keynote is also $5, the full set of 43 workshops is $49, the video of all of the keynotes is $49, and the entire set of audios of workshops and videos of keynotes is $98. If you want the physical DVDs, they are now $99, just select that option on the drop down menu. The emailed videos and audio could take a couple of hours or more to download, but you'll have them right away instead of by mail in five days. We can also e-mail you individual Mini-Talks for $5 for audio and $5 for video. If you want the physical thumb drive sent to you it is $99 and the thumb drive of the videos is $49, plus postage. If you want the DVD it's a bit more expensive because they are not individual mini talks, you have to tell us which group of mini talks you would like. There are no full sets of audio CDs.

I'm amazed by the quality of this year's videos and audio, as you can see from this sample and the school starters workshop

School of Living has land available in Virginia

School of Living
 
Request for Proposals
Itsodi Land
 
School of Living (SOL), a regional community land trust, is seeking proposals for the use of Itsodi, 67.86 acres of beautiful rural land in Amherst County, VA, not far from Amherst and Lexington.  All but 2 acres are assessed as woodland and included in a reduced property tax program for agricultural land.  The garden and orchard soils are organic and host native species.  There are 3 frame buildings, in average and poor condition. There is a well and septic for the house site. 
 
The land is part of SOL’s community land trust, and was acquired by SOL in 1999 for use by an independent Cherokee tribe. The tribe used it for ceremonies, retreats, preservation of indigenous culture, organic agriculture, and restoration of native species. However, because of a decline in membership, they have chosen to end their lease.   We seek proposals for the use of Itsodi from individuals or groups who would like to lease the land and, if desired, build their own buildings, which they will own.  Because of the land’s history as a center for the preservation of indigenous culture, preference will be given to proposals from Native American groups.
For more information or to arrange a site visit please contact Rita Jane Kiefert at (540) 463-4042 or email: schoolofliving@gmail.com
For more details and complete instructions for submitting a proposal see our website www.schoolofliving.org  Email proposals, by July 1, to schoolofliving@gmail.com.
