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.
Margaret Jefferies from Project Lyttelton also sent a short write up reflecting on how the screening went: “Over 20 people packed into the Project Lyttelton office early on Thursday morning to watch ‘In Transition 2.0’ simultaneously with many communities around the world.
