Triform Media Group

Triform Media Group (TMG) has been active since October 2015. It is a new way for Triform to work with students. The group is comprised of two Students (Alex T. and Hannah P.) and one Apprentice (Cheney R.) The Co-workers are Aroon and Laura.

At the beginning, we were not sure where and how to start. Then, thanks to the generosity of Marika Partrdige, who not only donated recording equipment but also provided initials lessons in how to produce radio programs.

The first two months we have been experimenting with sounds. We have been taking interviews of each other and sometimes going to Hudson to record different ambiances. In January, we visited the local radio station WGXC in Hudson. They were extremely generous and supportive of our initiative. Lynn, the station manager at WGXC Hudson, gave us an overview of the equipment and we played a few of our recordings on their equipment. Hannah was on the mic and it was a blast!

The "Camphill Radio Show" will be broadcasted on WGXC and also uploaded as a podcast file on our website. Eventually our goal is to reach out to the wider audience outside Camphill Communities. TMG would like to cover personal stories of co-workers, students, volunteers and employees who make our community special. We would like to cover workshops, festivals, events and perhaps happenings in the other communities in the region. We plan to be on air by the end of March 2016.

Looking forward,
Aroon for the Triform Media Group

CELEBRATING TRIFORM VOLUNTEER COWORKERS

By Meg Henderson The new Triform co-workers for the year 2016-17 Triform’s volunteer coworkers are special people. It takes really motivated, idealistic and energetic people to commit to a year or more of volunteer work. This year I am particularly struck by the dedication of our coworkers and inspired by what talents they offer so open-heartedly.

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter by Meg Henderson Holly and Jamie I have a large collection of cookbooks, some I turn to more often than others. They are usually seasonally inspired with fresh organic produce as the staple ingredient. I am actually lulled to sleep often by looking at glossy photos of “ Classic Irish Cabbage and Bacon soup” or “ Roast Lamb with Lemons and Rosemary.” I wonder if this makes me a little odd. I am thrilled to discover when travelling a ‘Whole Foods' market or a ‘Trader Joes', and remember as a student in sub -tropical South Africa taking a bus on Fridays to the Indian markets in the city center to buy fresh curry leaves and coriander for dhal; a marvelously economical dish, lasting several days. However, I digress. I am inspired by the pictures of steaming pasta with pesto and can smell summer in basil’s almost acrid green smell. Most summers I take my turn with other Triform coworkers, with my kids and students to pr...

Celebrating Diwali by Aroon Kalsi

As in previous years, this year we again celebrated Diwali, The Indian Festival of Lights, in Triform on Oct 27th. Everyone gathered outside Phoenix Center and was welcomed with traditional Bindi's (colorful stickers for the forehead) and Tikka (a red mark made on the forehead with a paste of Saffron Crocus that grows in India). It turned out to be a perfect sunny day. The icing on the cake was that we were able to to rope in two world class Indian classical musicians to play some live Ragas for us. The musicians were Eric Fraser and Ray Spiegel . Many friends from Camphill Village also joined us for the celebrations. Once this introduction was given, along with instructions for the celebration, houses were asked to go to their designated spots within the semi-circular space just outside the bakery in the Phoenix Center to create traditional Indian Rangolis (colorful mandalas that are drawn on the ground with pavement chalk). Everybody...
