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
Facilitated by Sandra &ldquo\;Sandy&rdquo\; Scotchler and David &ldquo\;Lucky&rdquo\; Goff for the Transition Sebastopol Community

Transition Sebastopol and Catalyzing Intentional Communities and Neighborhoods cordially invite you to attend the second annual community gathering of people looking to find others .
Cassandra Ferrera and Angel Rodriguez will be facilitating this event. Community means different things to different people. We have come a long way in 1 year. We have Tiny Home Villages in the works\, new communities\, and new people ready to find others who want to explore the possibilities of intentional living. Members of our greater community are actively pursuing a more connected sustainable lifestyle by joining and/or creating community where they live\, ...sharing resources\, time\, and energy to create more resiliency on the home front.
We invite you to come\, learn about what is going on today\, and connect with others like yourself. We hope to find some natural grouping to support\, and announce the results of last year's mapping.

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&rsquo\;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?
