First, a big thank you to Susan Tenby, Britt and Aaron and Gina and Beth and Ben and Bennett for helping us spread the word about ManorMeta! You have been tremendously helpful supporters in our work and we are grateful for every bit of support for the Amoration community.

We are currently under construction on AMO Island in Second Life on the new ManorMeta multimedia community, the living learning lab and home to many amazing visionary integral artists around the world. The new ManorMeta will be the adult grid home for our innovation center, a focusing space where specialists come together from many different fields: energy use and generation, AI, biomimicry, genetics, education, organics and gardening, health and nutrition, music and arts, programming and new media interactivity.

Since the innovation awards kick off today, we wanted to share with you some of the projects we've helped out on, supported or spotlighted with partners at amazing organizations in this gathering.   What an amazing group....150 tremendous projects coming together!  

• The Global Lives Project led by David Evan Harris is capturing stories from around the world to be woven into one...check out www.globallives.org and be inspired by these stories

• The Emancipation Network is building a community of modern abolitionists who support those emerging out of slavery around the world...John Berger and the team on Cape Cod are building a great new store to help women find new futures and TEN has been featured in numerous video shorts and media features.

We also support many of the great nominees this past year with donations of time, talent and attention including the Genocide Intervention Network, Second Life Relay for Life, SourceTree, SE Learning Games, Taking it Global, WAGN and HOOZE and the Info Island team in Second Life.   If you don't know who to vote for, trust us that all of these endeavors are worthy of your time and care this week.   Take a moment to browse through and see just how many amazing innovators have collected in this space!
