Oh, and let me know if you get this message, things seem to go up in flames when I "add comment".

We are excited about transition and Tai Chi as well. Tai Chi is transformational process indeed. They go well together.
Happy Chi,

Your offer to post Peak Moment TVs on your list is great -- you're right, I just don't have time to post all of the individual videos, though I might try posting some in the Peak Moment TV group and see what that entails.
Thanks, Janaia
Yes I can see that happening but my time is very valuable as well as everyone elses and my intention (as with my film screenings) is to screen films that are NOT freely available, that have just come out, like The Garden or Fuel or Flow or Pray the Devil Back to Hell or a number of other films that may or may not be Transition-related, eventhough in the very broad picture, MOST of the films I screen are Transition-related. So the main question is to HOW to SHOW the newer films that have clarity (on ones computer) at the same time for people to see and then have a skype discussion for those who wish to hang out afterwards. We did a survey for people who might prefer this and an overwhelmingly number said yes, since they dont want to drive or leave their house, they are old or have children... so Im trying to accommodate people who cant or wont come to the public appearances.
thanks
bob

I'm testing the waters with my hometown back in St. Mary's PA. My 3 brothers are back there and are involved in various degrees with local businesses. The Transition Movement is part of a number of concepts that I'm hoping to talk with some folks about back there: Farm To School, CSA's, local organic farming, local dollars (like Ithaca Hours, and work from the Interra Project), TimeBanks, etc. Don't worry...not looking to do it all at once :-)
The area I think is prime for it...first in St. Mary's, then to the other towns in Elk County. I'm sure I'll have many more questions after I visit home for a week this Christmas.
