Genesis Farm - Transition US

Genesis Farm
http://www.genesisfarm.org/

Genesis Farm is a learning center for Earth studies. We focus on the connections between the health of our global commons of air, water, land and nature, and the health of our local communities and bioregions. We root ourselves in a spirituality that reverences Earth as a primary revelation of the divine.

Genesis Farm offers a variety of residential and non-residential programs, including an accredited masters-level course in Earth Literacy, on our 226-acre farm in northwest New Jersey. We invite you to come to Genesis Farm to take part in our work.

    "We're at a moment where there are no guarantees as to the Earth's future. It's a question of our own critical choices. And I think what we're deeply in need of is a transforming vision....A vision that opens the future up to hope."

    -- Miriam MacGillis,OP, co-founder of Genesis Farm, from "Fate of the Earth"

Welcome to Transition US
http://www.transitionus.org/

We are a nonprofit organization that provides inspiration, support, training, and networking for Transition Initiatives across the United States.

Transition Initiatives are part of a vibrant, international grassroots movement that builds community resilience in response to the challenges of peak oil, climate change and the economic crisis.

Together we can make the transition to a more fulfilling, equitable and sustainable world.


Get Involved

Join the Transition movement, and be part of the solution to create an abundant and resilient future!
Start an Initiative (or get involved with an existing one)

This is the best way to have an impact on your community and environment. You’ll get to meet and work with great people, and be part of a network of like-minded souls all of whom are committed to creating positive and lasting change by rebuilding resilience into their local communities.

    * Find an existing Transition Initiative in your locale
    * Read the Primer
    * Get started!

Attend a Talk or Training

If you’re new to Transition, you might want to come along to an introductory Transition Talk, or attend one of our more in-depth Training workshops. We offer a range of training courses, materials and events that can support and develop your work with Transition. Two courses are readily available:

    * Training for Transition
    * How to give a Transition Town Talk

Volunteer

Everything we do depends on volunteers. We need your help to spread the word that a better way of life is possible, and to build practical and positive solutions that will inspire more people to get involved. The task ahead of us is huge, but together we can make a difference.

Please consider volunteering your time, skills and resources to your local Transition Initiative, or contact us to find out how you can support Transition US in our core activities.

Participate and Share

We are building a comprehensive database of information and resources to share with the wider Transition community. To do this, we need your help. Please send us your articles, podcasts and videos, and we will make them available on a searchable database through our website. These can be “how to” guides, or news stories from your community. We’d also like to showcase your good work on our home page, through our news sections and our blog.

By actively contributing content to our site, you become part of an online community that shares ideas and solutions for creating a brighter future.
Social Networking

Social networking is the building of online communities where people who share interests and activities, can connect and communicate with others who share similar interests and activities. Formats vary with different sites, but they all provide ways that people can interact, such as through email, video, blogging, instant messaging and forums.

You can join a Transition social networking site at www.transitionus.ning.com, this is an online community that facilitates communication among people in the States who are interested in learning about or implementing the Transition model.

Other Transition social networking sites can be found at Facebook and Wiser Earth. You will need to register at these sites, search on Transition Towns, and join the appropriate group. Have fun!
