Heart and Soul

The Heart and Soul work of Transition Initiatives is about making room for the very real and varied impacts that awareness of Climate Change and Peak Oil has on people. We also need to find ways to deal with our ambivalence and reluctance to bite the bullet in our own behaviours, to join with our community and to build relationships that can include real conversations about the things that concern us.

We have an extraordinary opportunity to rethink, re-invent and rebuild the world around us in ways that show care for each other, care for our environment and other species, and care for our planet.

Visioning a positive and better future is crucial to this. We need to begin imagining what a positive post fossil-fuel world will look like, and how we would want it to be.

Rather than relying on apocalyptic pictures of gloom and doom to engage people in the change process, we ask what would happen if we come from the other way around, and paint a picture of a future that makes so much sense, and is so appealing, that people are drawn to it and want to make it happen.

Groups or individuals may wish to add a comment (Just register first) about how we can rethink, re-invent and rebuild the world around us in a positive manner e.g. visioning great inspiring communities; or creating charitable trust cooperative EcoVillages where we share meals, resources and chores to free up time.

Please supply some details of what you would like to see and how it would work.
