Eden Arising: Ecological Design as a Spiritual Practice
What is a Transition Town?
Transition Towns across the globe are quickly addressing the reality of Climate Change, Peak Oil and Economic Decline with creative and positive solutions.
There are over 400 globally and over 106 in the USA.
In the US Transition Westchester is the 106th initiative.
Transition Towns avoid fear based rhetoric, they are committed folks who want to ensure a hopeful and optimistic future for our kids.
Transition Towns are made of dedicated groups of citizens focusing on the life support systems of a community: Food, energy, economy, community
Transition Towns also focus on the arts, music, play and the fun parts of life that create tightly knit societies founded on harmony and trust.
I have been reading Jacke's books, Edible Forest Gardens, (seen in photo above) written with Eric Toensemeier, and they are brilliant in their scientific depth and accuracy, in their permaculture design instruction and in their cataloging of edible perennials and trees. These textbooks are two volumes of priceless and eternal information for anyone desiring to learn to understand how to grow an edible forest.
ReplyDeleteJacke's quest for Eden is a blend of science and pure love of the Earth and all Her creatures.
