YOU&rsquo\;RE INVITED TO JOIN IN CO-CREATING COMMUNITY &hellip\;
The world is changing. Any move that responds to the changing conditions of a world in transition calls for
a similar internal shift. People who are committed to Transition are of necessity making this kind of shift. Sustainability \;depends upon it. Being in the vanguard means learning new ways of being together. We need to try \;things out to develop the internal skills that accompany these colossal changes.
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE is an organic form of growth. It requires the hearts and minds of the most committed \;to create a new response to the challenges we face. This will be a facilitated learning community with the \;intention of discovering the forms of consciousness that best serve our times\, allowing us to become more \;effective.
&bull\; Meets twice a month\, no fees charged
&bull\; Learn together
&bull\; Form bonds that make community resilience a living thing
&bull\; Focus is more upon growth than on psychological issues

These meetings are organized by the Elders' Salon Working Group and are open to ALL Transition folks.
A venue for psycho-spiritual change designed to cultivate community and inner development.Margaret Wheatley expresses it well in a quote from a Metta Center for Nonviolence Newsletter\: "\;Rather than worry about critical mass\, our work is to foster critical connections. \;We don't need to convince large numbers of people to change\; instead\, we need \;to connect with kindred spirits. \;Through these relationships\, we will develop the new knowledge\, practices\, courage\, \;and commitment that lead to broad-based change."\;
