Indiegogo plan

I realised that to execute this and get Children of the Sun backing I would need to write a project plan for the Indiegogo crowd funding plan.

I also wrote a few notes of how to set up the Inidegogo site:

This I did on the flight back to the UK. Mac books are great - long battery life and lots of apps.

When I got back, I sent it to Edwin and others. It got the thumbs up.

By now the project was expanding to include two elements - Step 1 - pilgrimage to Skellig and Step 2 (not funded) trip to Stonehenge for autumn equinox and Avebury - to give the crystals even more activations.

Mt Shasta and the crystals

After reading the Indiegogo site advice, it became clear that a well funded project will have great "perks" as well as a compelling theme. So I was given the idea of giving crystals to Donors.

This idea just got better and better. I would buy them in Mt Shasta from Soul Connections and wash them in the sacramento head waters as they arise in Mt Shasta from the mountain. It is sacred water if ever there was any (all water is of course sacred).

Michael & Jewels (our  friends in Mt Shasta - of Ascension Now fame- and violet flame saturdays) suggested Lapis Lazuli and Kyanite as the two stones to use as they connect with the Michael energy.



I purchased them just before we left Mt Shasta - drove to the head waters and washed them with a strong intention for the success of the pilgrimage.

Crowd funding and Edwin

At the SOGA conference I get to meet up with Edwin.

I decided that it would be a great idea to use the Skellig Island pilgrimage project as a pilot for crowd funding to see what it is like, putting a campaign together. I selected Indiegogo as I had used it before.

So this is when the clock started ticking - how long, and what are the steps, to getting a campaign set up and funded.

I came up with the idea of writing a blog about it (this one) on 3rd July - and back date all the blogs.
