Feb 10, 2012: “How to Develop a Transition Initiative”

Wondering how to bring transition to your community? Martin Boksenbaum will facilitate this how-to session. It will include opportunities for trying out some of the particular transition mobilizing approaches.

If you’re new to this and don’t know what transition is about, Gene Hunter and Adrienne Rayna will start off this session by bringing folks up to speed. Their re-visiting of earlier sessions will serve as well as to keep the big picture of what we’re about in focus for us old hands – as well as provide for the sharing of new thoughts.

Part of our second Transitions series – “What Do We Want and How Do We Get It?” – at the UUCLV, 7pm on second Fridays through March 9. Please join us.

The focus this time around is on dialoguing about:

• the intertwined economic, environmental, and basic needs challenges we are facing
• how to move forward in creating the resilient communities we want

We are facing urgent needs/impending catastrophes:

• economic collapse
• the fossil fuel morass
• global climate distress
• rampant militarism
• strengthening of repressive governmental power
• and more.

But we are witnessing widespread evidence of the readiness to take action:

• Occupy Movement
• Tar Sands Pipeline protests
• Marcellus Shale actions
• 350.org
• Washington DC protests to end the war in Afghanistan
• Community Rights actions
• and more.

We know what we want, generally speaking: solutions to problems, resilient communities, a sustainable future.

Question is, how do we get there?

The Transitions Movement provides a wholistic approach that can provide the vehicle for moving ahead.
