MIMIC THIS! When you get invited to events 3000 miles away (or 20 of them just across town), use COPY & PASTE with the really interesting events to seed your own community's plans for similar events. Why start from scratch.... Beg, borrow and mimic! More....

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
I have been interested in living sustainably for the past 3 decades, have lived it, will live it again, and want to teach others to live it well.
How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
I teach, I blog, I offer my property for community projects, I develop sustainable projects myself, and reduce my footprint as small as I can. I am in the process of acquiring a still to produce cellulosic ethanol to use for a co-op.

Yes, I would be interested in a training. I contacted someone concerning a training in Tucson, but no one replied and I assumed that it did not take place. Also, I had read where there maybe one in New Mexico. I am also a trained facilitator with The Pachamama Alliance www.pachamama.org and conduct symposiums www.awakeningthedreamer.org and became interested in Transition Towns because I feel we need solid solutions and the two could be combined.
Welcome Terri! Great to see you here on Transition U.S. and Transition Arizona. Wow, Judith is right. You're into all kinds of things. It's always exciting to meet people like you.
