Transition Town Steering Group update

The Coal Point Transition Town Steering Group (CPTTSG) has been meeting regularly and been planning a year of activity focussing on awareness raising  through a series of movies & speaker sessions and culminating at the end of the year in a Live More Use Less Festival to be held locally in Gurranba Reserve and at the Hall.

In February the group is hosting a Transition Training workshop on 27th -28th February. The trainers are from the Bowral Transition group, made famous for their stance on excluding bottled water from Bundanoon, the Bundy on Tap campaign.

The training covers the context for transition, an overview of the 12 principals of Transition, visioning, awareness raising, the initiating group, the psychology of change, open space technology, Joanna Macy activities and transition networks. It is an inspiring session and people from Transition Town Newcastle are also coming along.

The cost for the 2 days of training is $50, or $30 conc. Morning/Afternoon tea and lunch are provided. Email cppatransition@gmail.com for more information. Places are limited.

Apologies for those awaiting the film festival extravaganza in January, it was decided mid December that many people would not be around so instead there’ll be regular movies shown over the upcoming months.
