The mission of Transition Sebastopol is to create a positive vision of the future by cultivating community resilience in response to the potential challenges of resource depletion, climate change, and economic instability.
Dear Transition community, As we review our past year we can be excited about the year to come. Our restructuring has produced a Working Group Council, made up of representatives from each of our working groups, a Constitution, and a Charter. These elements will serve as a foundation for the growth we expect to see this coming year. We have already had many new people relocate to Sebastopol specifically to be involved in Transition Sebastopol. All of us in Transition welcome you. With the completion of our restructuring we will re-continue our community potlucks and mixers each month, which will give all of us more opportunities to connect. We are also preparing to launch several additional working groups. A sample of just a few are: an education group, a water group, a group that helps people form communities and establish place, and a community support group. We are looking forward to all the different events we will be sponsoring this year, including the Reskilling events, Heart and Soul, the Seed Exchange, Ready for Anything, Energy, Transportation, the Elder Salon, and the Transition to Sustainable Living Course. Thank you for all your support. Happy Holidays, and we look forward to your participation in this great experiment of community transition in the New Year. |

Transition Sebastopol is a grass roots; all volunteer movement that is comprised of working groups. These working groups are formed to address a particular aspect of our community needs and further the greater agenda of helping us all become more resilient and sustainable. We continue to grow; going through our own “transition” as an organization. A core group of us have met to stabilize and clarify more structure that will be able to accomadate the growing needs of our community. We have been working to get many of the pieces in place to respond to the needs and desires of the community as well as your requests for ways to get involved. We now have the new "constitution" of our organization and we invite you to check it out here(insert link to draft?). A new core group, comprised of representatives from each of the working groups, will begin officially meeting this fall. To assist you in ways to plug in, we offer this list below. This is a list of our current operating “working groups”; and potential ways to connect. We anticipate that more groups will be added; so keep checking back! We welcome your interest; input and involvement! We are all in this together! |

Building Resilient Communities for a Post-Carbon World
Greetings everyone, Just letting you know the weekly Monday Collective Meditation has been canceled for the year. The program has run for over two years and much appreciation and gratitude to all of you who have joined, participated, and encouraged this program. As of now the personal and communal energy is not available to carry this weekly program, though the H&S team is working to create fresh events to foster and support our inner transition this coming 2012. Stay tuned... in! In gratitude, |

Just in case you were under the impression that Transition is a process defined by people who have all the answers, you need to be aware of a key fact. |
