Inner Transition Subgroup - Initial Meeting

The initial meeting of the TW Inner Transition subgroup will be held on Monday 17th August at 7.30pm in the bar at Mycenae House, Mycenae Rd, London SE3. Everyone is welcome!

What does "Inner Transition " mean? For me, it means the process of changing attitudes, at both an individual and community level, to how we live in relation to one another and in relation to nature. In part, this is needed to enable the practical aspects of moving to low-carbon, sustainable ways of living to be accomplished more easily, quickly and effectively; and in part, I think, because the mass consumption lifestyle that has been fostered by cheap energy has not in any event been accompanied by greater overall levels of human happiness and fulfilment.

So, as one way of starting to look at these issues, I've drawn up the following list of questions which I shall be giving some thought to before the meeting. Feel free to do the same or suggest your own questions/ issues if you feel they are more relevant!...

1. What aspects of my life as it is now do I value the most?
2. What aspects of my life as it is now would I most like to change?
3. What aspects of my community as it is now do I value the most?
4. What asepcts of my community as it is now would I most like to change?
   
5. What do I find exciting about the idea of society moving to a low-carbon economy?
6. What do I fear the idea of society moving to a low-carbon economy?

Look forward to seeing you on 17th.
