Gather knowledge and cultivating skills. I attended an introductory presentation on TT's last summer and have been reading more about the movement. I would like to have a local group start up.

I learned about Transition through my Permaculture studies. Both address current and future problems with Permaculture being a tool to facilitate the goal of Transition.
How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
By sharing practical skills, knowledge and support with others in the movement/ community.

Hi Charlotte! Great to hear from you ... I am just trying to keep learning and figure out what's next. This fall I took a fantastic Forest Garden workshop with Dave Jacke in NH. How are you?
Welcome Charlotte! Great to see you here on Transition U.S. "... By sharing practical skills, knowledge and support with others in the movement/ community..." -- Great. Do you have some ideas as to how we might work together in these areas...
