YOU’RE INVITED TO JOIN IN CO-CREATING COMMUNITY …
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.

• Meets twice a month, no fees charged
• Learn together
• Form bonds that make community resilience a living thing
• Focus is more upon growth than on psychological issues

Facilitated by Sandra “Sandy” Scotchler and David “Lucky” Goff for the Transition Sebastopol Community

About the Facilitators:

In 2003 Lucky Goff, Ph.D., M.F.T., had a brain aneurism. As a result of his stroke and the onset of a rare brain syndrome, he nearly died and ended up permanently disabled. This experience had a transformational effect on David, which cued him into how radically connected all things are.

Sandy Scotchler M.F.T. —Drawn to the healing arts from childhood, she has learned to walk the path of a wounded healer. Becoming an elder at this time calls her
to join with others who care deeply about the earth and want to ollaborate in bringing the needed transformation.

Becoming Change, beginning June 12, 2012 will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday evenings of each month from 7 – 9 pm.
at the Sequoia Village Commonhouse
(459 Sequoia Lane, just two driveways east of Pleasant Hill, off Covert).

Transition Sebastopol and the Sebastopol Grange Proudly Present: In Transition 2.0

Please join us Wednesday February 27th at 7:00 pm at the Sebastopol Grange for the FREE screening of: In Transition 2.0 an uplifting film about the worldwide Transition Town movement.

"In Transition 2.0 is an inspirational immersion in the Transition movement, gathering stories from around the world of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. You’ll hear about communities printing their own money, growing food everywhere, localising their economies and setting up community power stations. It’s an idea that has gone viral, a social experiment that is about responding to uncertain times with solutions and optimism. In a world that is awash with gloom, here is a story of hope, ingenuity and the power of growing vegetables in unexpected places."

Joining us for the discussion afterward will be Scott McKeown of Transition US and one of the founders of Transition Sebastopol, as well as some more of our local Transition movers and shakers. Our conversations are lively and informat and we love to hear from you!

 A Wisdom Council Discussion Group of Transition Sebastopol 

Calling All Elders, Earth Elders, Wannabe Elders, Soon-to-become Elders, or Interested Baby Boomers on up! 


The Elder Salon is a nonhierarchical circle of peers. We’ll introduce the discussion with some thoughts from an elder voice or thought-provoking instigator to kick off our own discovery of what it is WE think and believe about the topic; what WE want and need now and in our future; what WE think should be the course of action and attitudes as we progress into and through our older years

WHY: There are a lot of new ideas about aging, staying youthful in body and spirit, and our role in society and local life. What have our generational contributions been and what is left undone? What are our mistakes and triumphs?

Reminder to all: the Elders Salon is regular and ongoing on the fourth Thursday of each month.
