Summer 2011 SOTA newsletter
Summer 2011
Thank you again, all of you, for your ongoing support of the Shift of the Ages Film project. We are so
grateful for your encouragement and for your patience as we overcome the obstacles we have encountered
in our goal of completing this timely film. We endeavor to
provide you with as much information as possible regarding
the status of the film through our various ways of
communicating to you. Please continue to look for updates
and to encourage others to sign up for our newsletter, to join
our Facebook group, to follow us on Twitter and to keep open
communication with us.
We hope you have many beautiful adventures this summer.
With much appreciation,
The Shift of the Ages Core Team
Volunteers
Like any grassroots project, much of what the Shift of the Ages team has accomplished could not have
been possible without the gracious help of our volunteers. In the past few months, volunteers have
assisted us in translating a recent press release, an April address from Wandering Wolf, and various
articles on our website. In addition, volunteers have also helped out with recent fundraising endeavors to
fund the post-production edit of the film via social media.
We are so grateful for your devotion and we hope to continue working with all of you!!

Aligning with the Shift
As we are all observing, there are many events occurring that bring sadness, devastation and
hopelessness. We would like to introduce this new segment to our newsletters, a segment dedicated to
providing love, empowerment and hope, by sharing some of the wonderful events happening around the
globe during these tumultuous times. We feel that these positive movements are not getting the media
coverage they deserve so we have 2 requests of you: please spread these stories via social media, blogs,
letters/emails to your local media and please share with us stories we can publish via upcoming
newsletters, Facebook and Twitter.
