Events

The purpose of the directory is to list all events in the Central Coast area of a spiritual nature. It will grow bigger than this and already contains a number of out of area events.

How it works:

At the moment we have 2 calendars, one on this site (Networking) and one on the Central Coast website. These will eventually be integrated.

At present you can view all events on the networking site and classify them into categories (inn date order).

To look at existing events, you will need to go to the Central Coast Calendar where you can find ongoing events, groups and meditations, retreats, courses, out of area events, and more via the menu on the event calendar page. Click here to view.

Transition:

Whilst we are transitioning across to amalgamate the two websites, events for the Central Coast will need to be listed on the original site by filling in the form-click here. This will enable your events to be listed in the calendar on the newsletter for the month. THis is emailed to everybody on the mailing list.

Events listed on this networking site, will include events from other areas in the list. You will be able to click on them by category but not by area. This function is on its way though!

In the interim, you will need to enter Central Coast events onto both sites.

To add an event to the networking site, click on the "add event" button on the calendar page (from menu along top of page).

Future Developments (Approx Oct/Nov 2010):

Events will be listed in calendar format (Ie date order) for each area. Within each area will be different locations which fit into the area (eg Erina and Avoca will both be in the Central COast Calendar). A calendar will be produced for each area, with the default calendar being the Central Coast calendar.

Each calendar will display a little information about each event. A picture file,web links, email links etc will be included.

The calendar will be to be able to be reordered (within its area grouping) for type of event such as mediations, music, workshops, retreats, courses, talks, networking group, gathering etc and in date order. The existing event calendar on the networking site already does this, but it doesn't do it within the area grouping, it just does it for all events.

Recurring events will have an option to repeat so that data does not need to be entered into a new form each week or month and each individual recurring event will be editable for itself to add extra information with time without editting the whole group.

A calendar will be displayed next to the listing on the calendar page (as it currently does)

Service Directory

The purpose of this service directory is to provide an easily viewable directory of services for a number of practitioners and service providers of a spiritual nature on the Central Coast. It can also cater for outside area service providers if they provide remote services such as psychic readings or spiritual art over the phone or by mail.

To list in the directory:

- fill in the form, showing the modalities you do and tick the boxes as to which categories you wish to be listed under. Examples are: lifestyle, coaching, teaching/courses, yoga, mediation, natural therapies, psychic readings. If you require another category, send me an email or write on my wall and let me know what they are.

-If you do remote work (healing, readings, channelled art) this should be flagged on the information page.

Specialty:

The specialty is important, as in future you will be listed under this category as well. For example

Your modality may be reiki, but your specialty is treating animals. We want people to be able to find you according to your unique gifts.

Payment:

Until the new "Elevated Member" option is available, you need to pay $15 to list in the service directory. To do this, go to the checkout page (click here) and pay via Paypal or you can do a bank transfer. Contact me by sending an email to this account if you wish to do this.

What you get:

-Listed in the central coast directory as what you do under your category with links to your own website. If you don't have a website, we can make you one, or you can provide a file in pdf format which we can link to your listing so people get more information about you when they click the link.

-Your entry will be sent to members in the newsletter corresponding to the month you join.

Future:

The current set up is that the listings run from November to November. This means your listing expires in November 2010.

The new service directory will be operational after this date.

It will have many more features:

-You will have a link to your members page and will have a image (Logo or profile picture) attached to your listing.

-Your listing will be searchable by various different categories such as location, specialty and modality.

In order to be on this directory you will need to become an elevated member, which has other benefits as well. Stay tuned for further information about becoming an elevated member...
