Neighbouring trees draw water through different roots and still feed the same forest, leaving the patient observer with fewer certainties and a much larger world to inhabit.

The scale of what's needed has always exceeded what any single life could answer — the question that remains, and it's an urgent one, is whether we're coming together at the scale the moment requires.

There’s a version of resilience that promises continuity — the hope that we can endure disruption and still remain who we were.
The truth is that moving through transition changes us. It pares things back. It teaches skills. It can deepen our relationships with nature and each other.
In the context of fair share ethics, that feels less like loss and more like learning how to live within reality — and be shaped by it.

Rob Hopkins puts it plainly; the scale that might actually matter is community — neighbours, groups, circles choosing to respond together.
This is where we break wetiko’s isolation and build the kind of resilience that can hold real change.
It doesn’t have to be grand.
It just has to be shared.#LifeboatAcademy #CommunityAction #LocalResilience #Enoughness #AutumnEarth #RobHopkins

If we wait for the governments, it'll be too little, too late; if we act as individuals, it'll be too little; but if we act as communities, it might just be enough, just in time.

> that means restoring ecology, integrating psychology into our communities and making our communities are free so that our basic daily activities don’t require cars, and our food and water are drawn from the area around usAe. Rob Hopkins and the
Transition Towns crews had the right idea almost 20 years ago;https://transitionnetwork.org/people/rob_hopkins/

Last week, we were privileged to take a journey to the future with Rob Hopkins.
He shared about his forthcoming book for the first time and had advice for activists on how to give people a window into what a positive future can look, smell, sound and taste like, as a way to inspire and engage folks with the action we need to take to build it.
Watch back the recording of this brilliant session, which ranged from the landscape of beavers to Afrofuturism, music recordings to sound out the future to how art is paving the way for us to imagine different solutions. It is an inspiring way to start your year!

"I would increasingly argue that the challenge that we need to address in order to move forward in the best way to build resilience is not through ‘building community’ (a subject I have addressed previously), or through a crash course of community reskilling, but rather through issues of governance and social entrepreneurship, areas where the green movement has fallen short for many years..."

Also true for software freedom IMHO

"Both Transition and green wizardry are based on the ideas that peak oil, and peak various other things too, will lead to a future of economic contraction and declining net energy availability, where the communities that are most successful are those that have most successfully strengthened and refocused their local economies in advance."

Transition Chipping Norton revitalised their group by giving the town's young residents a space to shape their future.
Transition Network co-founder Rob Hopkins shares the brilliant story how a Transition Together seed funding grant, made possible by funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, turned things round both for the young people's sense of confidence and agency, and the Transition group itself.

CW: socital colapse
@kyzh what about organizing with your community to prevent collapse, at least in your local area? Have you come across the #TransitionHandbook by #RobHopkins?
