A message to all members of The Heart of Transition

Attention all Inner Transitioners!

Until the end of March, Inner Transition groups (Heart & Soul, Spirit of Transition or other similar groups) are invited to take part in an on line survey that will help to tell their stories. The main ideas behind the questionnaire are to find out what the groups across United Kingdom and worldwide are doing and then share this information via the Transition Network website and on Transitionheart.ning.com. We also hope to gather resources to share, and if there’s interest, organize events or networking meetings for local groups.

The survey was announced a few days ago in the Transition Network Newsletter and we are starting to receive replies from places including Los Angeles, Granja Viana in Brazil, Canada and some UK places too. Already we can see that groups see Inner Transition in very different ways – so please contribute your experience, past or presentt!

The research has been put together by three of us – Sophy from Transition Town Totnes along wwith Heloisa and Juliana, both Brazilians and coincidently in Totnes at this time. It follows Juliana’s inquiry around engaging social complexity as a way to personal and community resilience, which she will deepen with the findings of this survey and weave together in her dissertation as a Holistic Science Master’s student at Schumacher College.

We know this online questionnaire is not as warming as it would be to sit for a chat together, but it is how we can afford to do it for now. Meanwhile, here’s a suggestion: get your homemade cake, herbal (local) tea, make yourself comfortable and we'll go through this together...

Oh, one more thing: Help us to spread the word, if you can, to friends you know are part of Inner Transition groups. Even if the groups aren’t meeting now we’d love to know their stories. We look forward to hearing from you!

"Inner Transition" - sounds like an arse about face approach - if we haven't got the inner bit what is our agenda for being in a transition group?  But i would suggest it needs closer examination than my knee jerk reaction and may be something for the groups to disscuss at thier meetings eg ttp next week and also at the BH AGM?

 

regards, gary
