How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
Co-founder of Sandpoint Transition Initiative, currently working to establish solid working groups that were formed the day after the spectacular "Unleashing" event on November 14th.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
"As my soul soars, I am creating a wonderful world".
The Transition Initiative is what I have been thinking about and wanting to get started for many years, using slightly different terms.
How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
Currently I am focusing on several things:
- Offering Transition Trainings scheduled through Transition US
- Establishing well functioning working groups within the Sandpoint Transition Initiative.
- Participating in the national and international networking efforts
- Spreading the word beyond Sandpoint
- Transforming our home into a small town urban permaculture demonstration site. this project is called "Urban Residential Redesign for Sustainable Living"
- Teaching, training, consulting and learning about in Permaculture & inner and outer Transition and Transformation
Most importantly, live heartfelt joy and love, grow, share, engage positive and inspiring action and have fun and build a world we truly want together.
Hello Richard
I am on the Initiating Group for Transition Louisville CO.
I heard a brief but spectacular report from Michael - that you had over 500 attendees at your Great Unleashing and over 120 showed up the next day for sub group work.
Congratulations!!
Do you have photos and a write up of the Unleashing?
I am sure all emerging Transitions in the USA would love to get your story!
take care

Thanks for updating your profile. Let's schedule a conference call sometime next week with several of your local enthusiasts. It'll be a great conversation.

Yes, I'd suggest that you go to the Transition Idaho page and do a short writeup of your Sandpoint blog. Welcome to the family!
Hi Les,
Wondering - we started some time ago www.sandpointtransition.org and are working to have someone adding content. I am not sure how not to spread too thin. Any suggestions?

Hi Richard! Great to see you active in Transition US. I see you've already connected with Michael. When you get the opportunity, please go to the beginnings of what will become Transition Idahoand begin documenting what's happening in Sandpoint. Be free to invite others in your area to post their own questions, resources, etc. on these pages. Have fun!
