INTRODUCTION TO TRANSITION
From Oil Dependency to Community Resilience

April 22 – 25
Thursday,7 pm–Sunday, 4 pm

Location: Genesis Farm
Blairstown, New Jersey

“Every step of the process must unfold in such a way as to heal the community… The process is a single process because it has only one aim: quite simply, to produce wholeness, everywhere.” — Christopher Alexander, A New Theory of Urban Design

We live in a time of change.

Using our “Heads, Hearts and Hands” we can live into such a moment with intention and hope.

You can help lead your community to become more resilient while building more fulfilling connections with neighbors and friends.

Learn how to become a part of the growing network of locally-focused initiatives

The Transition movement supports local leadership efforts to engage people in taking the far-reaching actions required to mitigate the local impacts of global crises: peak oil, climate change, and economic decline. More than 275 officially designated Transition Initiatives now exist in 15 countries, with 61 in the U.S. and hundreds more implementing the Transition model in varying degrees.

We can act on our commitment to life and the common good.

The Transition movement “makes no claim to have all the answers,” says Lynette Marie Hanthorn, “but by building on the wisdom of the past and accessing the pool of ingenuity, skills, and determination in our communities, the next steps can readily emerge.”

COST: $285. Meals, $60 (2 dinners, 3 lunches). Limited lodging, $50 per night (includes breakfast).

with Michael Brownlee, Lynette Marie Hanthorn, and Seanna Ashburn

Genesis Farm is located on 225 acres of preserved farmland and woodland approximately 1.5 hours west of New York City.
