We kicked off our discussion with a screening on Jan 28 of InTransition 2.0, an inspiring story of many communities around the world doing just that.

We are reading Toby Hemenway’s The Permaculture City (free online). Haven’t read it, come and learn from the group of us who have read it.

As Camden faces the challenge of building a thriving bioregion, CamdenCAN serves as a hub for action. Their monthly Camden Talks Climate series features Belfast-based director Jim Merkel and his award-winning film, Saving Walden’s World.

Fresh from a robust festival circuit, the film offers global insights and explores rarely seen thriving communities like Cuba, Kerala, India and Slovenia.
