An opportunity to visit Totnes a small town in S.W. England, the founder 
location of the /Transition Movement/: a community-building, local 
organizing movement embracing politically diverse aspects of the 
environment, energy, food, local resilience, and creative local 
participation in changing mind-sets, rethinking local resilience, 
re-calibrating ways of envisaging economics, attitudes to daily life, 
building practical, constructive, collaborative initiatives (watch 
Transition 2.0 on YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKN3RLkEGfM>!)

Staying in family homes, the visit will connect you with the workings of 
the transition vision and some of its grounded, innovative initiatives 
and bring you into dialogue with people involved in its development, 
challenges and implementation

Also includes days at a Transition-linked organic farm in Cornwall and 
visits to the Eden Project 
<http://www.edenproject.com/whats-it-all-about> exploring its world 
climate zone vegetation biomes, and meeting with people from its 
education section to hear about the development strategies of the 
project and its environmental, educational, cultural, and community 
outreach programs and vision -- and a day in St. Ives--at the tip of 
southwest England--an old fishing and art-famous town visiting the Tate 
St. Ives gallery and Barbara Hepworth sculpture garden. //

Totnes is a little town dating from the 10th century (it has a motte and 
bailey built by troops of William the Conqueror), with steep winding and 
cobbled streets) and steps connecting through ancient town stone walls. 
The trip includes plans for walks on Dartmoor hills, coastal cliff 
paths, and a potential kayak exploration of River Dart.
