Resilience Circles & Transition Initiatives: Outline Local Background Conceptual “Fit” Similar Themes What we have done to bring them together What we’ve learned so far What we want to do next Other thoughts on bringing them together Conclusion

Conceptual “Fit” Between Resilience Circles & Transition Initiatives (Transition Initiatives): Transition means using our head, hearts and hands to build greater individual and community resilience (Resilience Circles): Resilience means transitioning from “old’ to “new” stories (learning = head), from isolation to working together (mutual aid = heart) and from helplessness to empowerment (social action = hands).

Resilience Circles & Transition Initiatives: Similar Themes Importance of stories & need for new stories (especially new economic story) Importance of local community & small-scale solutions for large-scale problems It’s everybody or nobody Honoring elders/involving youth Cautious about leaders/experts Positive visioning & empowerment Open-source (make it up together as we go along)

What We’ve Learned So Far (about recruiting people to RCs) Start with familiar networks Value proximity and place Remember that getting people together is a skill Consider the mix of people out there Use triage Remember that building an “ark” is as important as filling it
