An Evolving Exploration into the Head, Heart and Hands of Energy Descent
Transition Culture has moved
I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.
Things are moving along well with ‘The Transition Companion: making your community more resilient in uncertain times’ which is due to be published in early October. We are currently doing the fine editing and sorting out all the pictures. As part of the run-up to the publishing, Green Books have produced what’s called a ‘blad’ (“Book Layout And Design”), which gives a taste of the layout, style and contents in a little 16 page booklet. You can download it as a pdf here. A free printed copy of the blad will be given to everyone who attends this weekend’s Transition Network conference in Liverpool. We think it’s going to be gorgeous, and is in a quite different style from the previous Transition books. You can keep up to speed with developments either here or over at Green Books’ website. We are currently planning a few launch events for the book… if you have any ideas for one, do get in touch…
Local Transition groups put in a strong showing at Hillbrook school's local Sustainability Day, Brisbane, Australia.
It’s time for the monthly roundup of all things Transition from across the globe. We’ll start down under in Brisbane, Australia where a Sustainability Day was held at a school in Hillbrook. The all-day event included music, speakers, practical demonstrations and workshops. Local Transition groups were one of many represented at the event which encouraged people to connect, enjoy and celebrate the school’s 25th year.
A couple of months ago I did a talk at the Tagore Festival at Dartington which eschewed Powerpoint and used objects sent in by Transition groups to tell the story of how Transition unfolds. I really enjoyed it. Here it is:
Here is the most wonderful potty nonsense from the US, a conspiracy theorist who in 47 seconds manages to link Transition to the Trilateral Commission, the CIA and the Council on Foreign Relations. I tweeted this, and people enjoyed it so much I thought I’d post it here too! Apparently the ‘agenda’ of Transition is “taking your land away from ya”. Damn. Rumbled.

I am not liking that picture of myself either I must say….
How might our response to peak oil and climate change look more like a party than a protest march? This site explores the emerging transition model in its many manifestations
