The “Heart & Soul” component is a key part of the Transition Town model. Some also refer to it as the “psychology of change,” although it is more than just that. As Transition is about creating a positive vision for the future while adjusting to a post-carbon world, an important aspect of that process is to provide for psychological and spiritual support for community members as they come to terms with changes that can often be overwhelming. Supporting each other through these changes is a vital part of community resilience. The Heart & Soul group is about addressing these needs of the community. Within this general framework, there are many aspects and directions the group can take. Exploring these possibilities, and developing a healthy support system for our community is the fundamental task of the Heart & Soul group. It is up to us to develop the group in a way that works best for the greater Sebastopol area. The Heart & Soul group emerged out of our Community Mapping Events and had it's first meeting in April. If who'd like to get involved you can contact connect@transitionsebastopol.org and subscribe to the H&S announcement list:
Anyone who has attended at least one group meeting can also opt to be added to the group's discussion list.

transition sebastopol Building Local Resilience What do you think is coming with planetary and economic changes, and how does it make you feel? On Monday, January 25 the Transition Sebastopol Heart & Soul group is holding a Fishbowl event where you can do just that. This month we want to give voice to the GROUP WISDOM. Anyone who wants to share their beliefs, concerns or thoughts about Transition challenges and how to translate these challenges into opportunities will be given space to do so. We'll be using a new format where we'll all get the benefit of one another's great ideas. We know you are wise souls with good hearts and we want you all to come and share your inspirations. We’ll provide some questions to get it started. We will also have our chance to make announcements and to ask for help or offer resources -- the Needs & Shares section we've done all along. See you there: Monday Jan. 25 Soulfully, |

We will be gathering again (yay!) to further the agenda of Transition Sebastopol Heart and Soul group--namely to facilitate and generate ways to support each other in our inner journeys as we travel these times of change.
We were inspired to see so many wonderful souls gather at our initial meeting and we would now like to continue the conversation started. In this next meeting, we will deepen the connections and discussions
This gathering will be simple and sweet, no frills. Just time together getting to the heart of what we want to see blossom and nourish our deeper selves. The gathering will be structured to facilitate this.
We will be asking the questions of what each of us is seeking and what each of us has to offer in relation to the care and feeding of our hearts and our souls. There will be an opportunity for you to ask for support and There will be an opportunity to offer your resources as well. We will be spending a good part of the time really sharing and connecting with each other deeply, in smaller “heart-circle” groups. You will also have the option to have these needs/resources added to a list that we will be creating to distribute to the larger community. Donations will be accepted to cover the cost of the space. We would appreciate rsvp's to get a sense of the head count, (but last minute decisions to come are ok) See you there! ~*~*~*~*~
