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.

Today was quite a relaxed day and mainly comprised sleep, in or out of talks. The day started off to another bowl of the ever-neutralising apple and cornflakes bathed in milk. We then headed to the first session where this dude was talking about community owned sustainable energy systems, yep pretty break through stuff, whoop whoop whoop.
I realise I am proving a fairly hopeless Positive Energy blogger, as I am already a day behind with my blogging duties (Rowan is being far more productive than I!), so I will try and catch up. On arriving at Findhorn it was suggested to me by Jonathan Dawson that I might in fact tear up the presentation that I had brought with me and instead do something which reflected the journey that the event took me on. It turned out to be a great suggestion, but it did mean that most of yesterday afternoon, the Open Space sessions, I missed, as I was working out my presentation. The morning, however, featured two wonderful presentations, by Megan Quinn (left) and Jonathan Dawson.
Today I had a lie-in until about 12 it was lush I feel revitalised, today I’m going to do my blog slightly differently to normal:
Today I am going to do the day in thirteen different steps.
This may well be one of the most exciting jobs on the planet, bar none. Here’s the job advert:Are you the creative and outgoing person who can take TTT’s Energy Descent Pathways project forward? You need to be passionate about creating a positive future beyond our oil-dependent lifestyles, and committed to involving all sectors of the local community. The role includes creating events to stimulate visions of a vibrant, resilient low carbon future, as well as exploring and documenting possible pathways to get there. Your work will be an inspiration for countless other communities tackling these same issues.
Today was sound, the presenter or speaker today was Richard Olivier who combines Shakespeare’s work with eco stuff. The play we were doing today was ‘As you like it’ which was good as well as being funny, in the first session today Richard told us the play and in the second half of the session talked about the character we where most interested in and the part of the story we felt we were at.
