The Walloomsac Transition Forum and Spirit Hollow, a non-profit dedicated to the transformation of consciousness are pleased to announce that Alastair Lough and Richard Kuhnel will be facilitating an official two-day Transition Training at Spirit ...
"How are you involved in preparing for the changes that peak oil, economic instabilty and climate change are bringing, and in creating resilience and sustainable life style in our communities?"
For many years, through my education as an environmental design and ecological systems major, as a land use planner developing sustainable policies for rural and urban environments, as a practicing architect and as a researcher into methods of self-organizing bio-regional change to sustainable lifestyles, I have been involved in the "transition" movement, but only now formally in the "Transition Movement."
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
See above
How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?

Hi David
I noticed you were considering the rocket oven workshop i am hosting this month and i wanted to let you know we condensed it into only a weekend where we focus on the oven and exclude the shelter element this time. the new cost for the weekend is $200 and includes all meals, camping, yoga... Let me know if you are interested.

hey David,
Any feedback on the Passive house workgroup?
And are you still interested in the NaturalTimberFraming workshop? we had to reschedule and are thinking for June 20-21st.
Marc typically asks $1000+ to speak. I think if we make it more organizational and not so much a presentation to the public we could build this capacity you mentioned.
Would you be willing to talk to Peter? He may have other people in mind as well. I think there is someone with a PH in VT that would be good to have also.
I would be willing to talk to VGBN and BSR and set up a site.
David,
Wondering if it would be useful to have a PH informational meeting thru BSR/VGBN? We could have a few people talk about it including you and maybe Peter Schneider. Not sure if you have other folks who might be good to have.
What do you think?
David,
Your site looks interesting. Have you connected with Gwen Hallsmith and checked out EarthCAT and the Laser Guide? If not they are right up your alley.
Let me know if you have any ideas around PH and Natural Building, this is my current work. I am also interested in your experience with the PH training. I applied but my VSAC grant didn't make it in time. I went to the Boston gathering last week and had a great time.
