Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition movement?: I am new to the 'transition movement', but having been reading thinking and talking about the basic concept with friends and family for years especially regarding local food production. I have many fruit trees(mostly peaches, apricots and apple) and several currently fallow gardens in my yard, which is almost half an acre

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?: I love the Earth and believe humans need to be in touch with nature and each other, living in communities that foster a strong sense of purpose, unity, and a common desire to love, honor and protect our natural environment, both locally and globally.

What background and skills do you bring to this community?: I am a Registered Nurse, organic gardener and yoga practitioner for over 30 years, with a passion for voluntary simplicity, soil ecology, mycoremediation, and topics related to holistic health and wellness (impact of soil ecology on food nutrition, the role of food, meditation and yoga as medicine in enhancing heart, brain and immune function, and reversing lifestyle related disease processes such as aging, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, MS and more).

How can you help the growth/acceptance/vitality of the Transition movement?: I hope to share my skills and knowledge with others, develop a greater sense of community involvement and contribute to the momentum of this worthy cause.

Great to see your interest in Transition! Welcome to the COLORADO TRANSITION NETWORK.

Feel free to join in our activities. Click on a person's photo to make contact. Say Hello. Reinforce the good things they're talking about and doing. Bring up a discussion that particularly interests you. Pose a question. Announce an event. Be serious. Have fun!

In your local community, does Manitou Springs have a Transition-supporting website, or blog, or listserv, or Facebook, or Meetup where Transition subjects are dealt with? If so, it would be spot on for all our Colorado members if you would consider including Manitou Springs in our registry of organizations, localities, virtual topics, companies, products, services, Twitterers, Facebooks, Meetups, etc. that support Transition and sustainability. What an opportunity for you to contribute to your neighbors!

Here's the page to create your link -- http://transitioncolorado.ning.com/groups/group/new. Creating the group will give you a place to make your community visible throughout Colorado, to keep track of your local members, to use a handy mailing list to contact everybody, to announce and discuss. You can see what 70 of our members have already created at http://transitioncolorado.ning.com/groups What do you say... Interested? I'll be glad to help launch and build your group.

One more thing. It would be super to see your photo -- "Choose File" on http://transitioncolorado.ning.com/profiles/settings/editProfileInfo -- Let me know if you need assistance. I'll be delighted to do some photoshopping if needed.

Again, welcome!
