Transition Culture has moved
I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.

In The Transition Handbook you will find 12 “Tools for Transition”, scattered through the book, practical activities that can help to support and deepen your Transition process. Some of them have evolved during the process, and others are other peoples’ ideas we have used and sometimes adapted. I’ll post them here, one a day. This first one is the shortest, but hopefully you might find a way to use it in your work.
Green Books just posted the promotional video for **The Transition Handbook** which we filmed a couple of months ago. The first two shots were filmed on the coldest day of the year, and each one took about 20 takes, so by the time we filmed the ones you see here, I was numb from the waist downwards and an odd blue colour. By the time we got to do the indoor shots we were minutes away from death from exposure. Also the lip synch is slightly out, but that will be remedied soon… Anyway, take a look, its quite good fun…

**The Transition Handbook** will be available to order here at Transition Culture on February 28th, the wait is nearly over (more on that soon). By way of starting to introduce you to it, and by way of whetting your appetite for its many wonders, here is the introduction to the book, which first introduces the concept of resilience.

**Learning, connecting, leading – a two-day Transition Training event, exploring leadership within a Transition perspective.**
(*From publicity by the course organisers*). We felt that with so many communities embarking on the transition journey, now was the time to launch a training event that targets individuals who are stepping into leadership roles within transition initiatives throughout the network. The first instance of this course will be 20/22-June-2008.
Last night’s **The One Show** on BBC One included a great piece about Transition Town Totnes, which you can watch online for the next 6 days which concluded with the surreal site of Westlife passing Totnes Pounds around and chatting about them! Its not everyday that one sees that kind of thing… . The piece itself crammed a lot into a short time, giving a concise overview of what TTT is all about, and how it is working. I just spent half an hour trying to do screen grabs of images from the piece, but the programme I have they just all go black. Anyone able to do screen grabs for us of Westlife with Totnes Pounds?! (**Update** Thanks to Mark Donaldson who just sent in the pic below..)
