What's Molly doing at Utopia International Retreat?

Molly talking to the masses at Utpoia 2008.

Earlybird prices for Utopia International Retreat finish on August 31st, so get your act into gear and register for a life changing weekend of learning, healing, networking and fun! I'm acting as Master of Ceremonies again this year at Utopia, which I must say gives me an immense feeling of POWER! Being able to kick international speakers off the stage because their allocated time is over can be very fulfilling, although it can make you a little unpopular with the speakers. This year Utopia has brought together an amazing array of international speakers who will be covering a wide variety of topics over the weekend. I'm giving a plenary and conducting a workshop, but you'll need to listen to the interview I did with Mz Marg Gill to find out what it is I'm talking about.
For some fun and frivolity I'll also be doing a "circlet making" workshop on the Friday, so people will be able to make a headdress to wear for the duration of the weekend............nothing like bringing in the fairy energy to get the mischief happening!
Sue Coombes and Simone Matthews and others have invested an extraordinary amount of time, energy and money in putting Utopia together and ensuring that it provides a world class venue and program and I encourage you all to support the initiative. Utopia International Retreat provides an opportunity for you to network with like minded professionals from a broad range of disciplines, to learn cutting edge strategies for healing yourself, your clients and the planet and to relax and have fun in the beautiful natural environment of Noosa.
You can listen to the interview I did with Marg (before it even goes onto the Utopia website) ">by following this link.

Molly gets her Churchill medallion!

Well I submitted my report and now the real work starts! I attended the Churchill Fellows Association of Victoria dinner on July 31st at Bayview Eden, where I was presented with my beautiful Churchill Fellow medallion! The medallion was designed and made by a previous Fellow and I must say I felt a little like an Olympic athlete, but thank goodness we weren't given a stuffed toy..........it was far more refined!
It was great to catch up with my "alumni", the other 2008 Fellows, most of whom have completed their travels and returned home. It was wonderful to hear about the projects that the 2009 Fellows are doing and I must say I was really impressed with the diversity of subjects, from green transport initiatives to supporting same sex attracted high school students........Winston would certainly be proud of the breadth of talent and enthusiasm we have here in Victoria.
Just a reminder to you all. If you feel passionate about something and you want to make a difference, seriously consider applying for a 2010 Fellowship. The time is right to start thinking about planning your submission NOW, so get off the couch and change the world!!!!! Type remaining message over this text.
