TRANSITION IN ACTION SOCIAL NETWORK

What's cool in the GTIA Portfolio...

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....
Welcome recently added members. Check periodically to see if friends you have invited have joined.
Find others members in your hometown, region, state, country. (E.g., Country=Austria or City, State = Vashon, WA)
Produce a list of members who use keywords similar to your inerests when describing theirs (E.g.,Permaculture, intentional community).

HOW IS TRANSITION WORK GOING IN YOUR AREA? I HAVE BEEN PUSHING SO HARD, I FORGET SUBJECT LINES, AND MINOR DETAILS LIKE WHEN AND WHERE MEETINGS ARE- AND EMAIL ADDRESSES LOL!!!
MINE IS;
dmnds2001@yahoo.com
WHAT I THINK WOULD BE GREAT IS SOME KIND OF INTERACTIVE WEBSITE WHERE WE COULD ALL POST GARDENING AND OTHER FOOD PRODUCTION INFO, AS WELL AS ALTERNATIVE INFO IN THE AREAS OF HEALTH, CURRENCY, SHELTER, ETC, AND BE ABLE TO POST INFORMATION AWARENESS IN THE FORM OF VIDEOS, POWERPOINT SHOWS, E-BOOKS, ETC.
IS HEALTH YOUR MAIN OR ONLY AREA OF INTEREST? I KEEP HOPING TO FIND MORE "INFORMATION JUNKIES," POLYMATHS IN EACH GROUP,OR AREA.
ONE OF OUR MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS HERE IS INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION, OR AWARENESS RAISING.
ANYWAY, LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN HELP.

It will be nice to talk with you about our work. As you say there aren't many clinicians who have the interest, background, and skill to address issues that are personal, interpersonal, social, and ecological. There are even fewer with a PhD, LCSW combo.

I'll look forward to reading your new book and would be happy to share more information about my upcoming book if you'd like to e-mail me at Jed@Menalive.com

Sounds like we have a good deal in common. I have a PhD in International Health and an LCSW. I've been working on health issues and gender medicine for the last 40 plus years.

Here in Willits, California we have been doing work to localize our economy for the last 4 years.

I've written 7 books and am working on one I'm calling Post-Petroleum Stress Disorder: Healing Ourselves, Saving Humanity.

Would enjoy sharing with you if you're interested.

I was not commenting on any particular group, as I was commenting on some of the writings of Rob Hopkins. I believe that he has been a bit premature in his excessive in his praise of TT. A lot of great groups ( like yours) have been subsumed into TT. I have a few concerns, but I am sufficiently open and curious to poke around and learn.

I don't know if you remember me, my partner is Dr. Kathy Mcmahon. You may remember I am a huge fan of your work. I have some reservations about TT, because the stakes are so great, but I am greatly impressed by the energy and networking that I see on this site.
