The most frustrating thing about being here is not being able to participate in 11 workshops and 33 open space events that are taking place EVERY day. Talk about information overload.

This is not just a conference…this is a Transition Network conference.

Ah, thank goodness for Transition … today has already reminded me why I am so convinced that we can transform this beautiful world we live in. I am so thankful for Jenny’s opening reminder that it is our own personal responsibility to get what we want and need out of this conference … and to be driven by our passion, not a sense of obligation.
