Transition Towns: Intentional Communities for the 99%
What to look forward to in this webinar:
While building and growing intentional communities is an important part of the resilience-building work of the international Transition Movement, the main thrust of Transition is to create intentional communities for the 99% – towns, cities, neighborhoods, and even entire regions where people hold a common vision of a more just and sustainable future, equitably share resources with each other, commit to working on their interpersonal issues, and serve as beacons of hope for the better world we know is possible. In this webinar, Don Hall, Co-Director of Transition US and founder of a small intentional community in Sarasota, Florida, will describe the Transition approach to broadening, deepening, and scaling-up social change both within intentional communities and beyond them.
