In eastern Massachusetts, I participated in a several years long process facilitated by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council called MetroFuture. The final recommendations included no loss of farmland, and they are only recommendations. Because MA…
The 8th Habit by Stephen R. Covey presents the important whole person paradigm. The habit is find your voice and inspire others to find theirs. Did you know that Covey believes interdependence is a higher value than independence?

The first casualty was the whole/integrated person. Industrialization reduced people to things (bodies and/or extremely specialized minds), and now we have the challenge and the need to find our respective ways to wholeness. In addition to our bodie…
Having been on Rob's listserv forever, I was shocked to discover I hadn't joined this group!
I believe violence is inevitable if things start to get bad because some things are bad now and there is violence. That said, I believe the majority of people capable of violence wish not to go there and will not if they know people AND know people…
Thanks for coming back, Kelly.
I think you're in one of those situations where you hope to be so gentle in your steering and pushing that other members of the committee end up feeling they thought of re-localizing food and energy.
If so, your prin…
Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?
- I've been to a 2-day training, I'm blogging at http://blog.interdependencedesign.com/, continuing to read the Handbook and Primer, I'm planting seeds in my community (blogging at woburnite.com/blog) and I'm contributing some to the second edition of the Handbook.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I was 20 in November 1973 and working at Otter Lake Conservation School in New Hampshire. In other words, oil has been some kind of issue during my entire adult life and the Web of Life has been in my consciousness, as well.
Now I am a "sower" and "husband" of sustainability vision for entities of all kinds. "Where there is no vision, the people perish."
- How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement? What can YOU teach us? What can your GROUP teach us?
- I bring an enormous commitment and all that my mostly pertinent self-directed learning has collected and assembled. Of that, the least expected significant pieces, I imagine, are the whole person paradigm and its corollary, complementary teams.
I am available to this movement as a communicator and guide. I welcome opportunities to write and speak of resilience and sustainability.

Playing Into a New Comfort Zone
I found myself thinking of Transition and the active games King On the Mountain, Red Rover and Sardines. The games are illustrative of some relationships and dynamics with which we're all (I presume) familiar. If you don't know the games, you'll be OK.
I generally think of King On the Mountain as what elites, and the governments they manipulate, use the planet to play: get on top and shove the others down in all directions. As far as I've thought, it's not analogous to anything we Transitioners… Continue

Handle Like-mindedness With Care
The like-mindedness we need most, that will encourage and build enduring relationships among people who haven't gotten together before, is along the lines of "OMG, all our eggs are in one basket!" That's overlooked, not uncertain or controversial. The like-mindedness associated with positions in controversies, at first energizing (I'm not alone and maybe we're becoming the majority!), easily becomes a trap, a kind of dead end. Or it doesn't serve when the going gets rough.

Wanted: Fully Present and Productive Owners
The following is copied and pasted from my blog at woburnite.com
Because the name of my business is Applied Ecologics, I frequently startle people and activate their curiosity by simply stating it. From my angle, it's apparent they've heard something they were not expecting to hear. I see they sense it's something well-meaning, and likely beneficial, but that they cannot readily grasp. I try to help them understand, with varying results.… Continue

- Howdy David! Thanks for the invite to weigh in on the home birth blog dialogue. I actually just made it over there and let my fingers fly on the topic. I was trying to hold off given my work responsibilities today but just couldn't help myself...but it was more of a rolling ad lib thought expression than well thought out responses. I love the dialogue and think everyone brought up great points. I think Constantine was playing devil's advocate but it appears it helped spur conversation and that's a good thing. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. I really do need to get to work now. talk with you later! kj

- Hi David and soon to be Transition Massachusetts! Great to see you here. "... I bring an enormous commitment and all that my mostly pertinent self-directed learning has collected and assembled...." -- Just the kind of person we're looking for...
We invite you to go to Starting Local Groups on Transition US and then to Mass. Tell us a little more about what's happening in Woburn. This makes your group visible to other groups in Mass and elsewhere around the world. We are currently vetting the most active states to set up Transition networks with them. Your participation on these pages will help make the decisions.
By the way, I lived in Boston for 22 years, part of the time in Reading and had offices in Cummings Park.... small world.
