It is hard to convey the bubbling up of inspiration, connection and energy at our North West regional gathering this weekend!

We were joined by several Transition groups in the area, and many others working for transformative change through growing, community, politics, business, education and more.

Wow, it felt good to connect, be together, share our work and our challenges, and soak up the rich conversations at the beautiful Greenslate Farm, a lush, green, lively community space where everyone is made welcome, a glimpse of how things could be everywhere!

Rob Hopkins took us to 2030 in his portable time machine, and we felt a different world on the horizon, a more spacious, restful one, with enough for everyone, where we can trust and lean on each other, birdsong, insect buzz and recovery for us and for nature. Importantly, we asked how we tell new stories of what's possibly, creating longing for a future we haven't yet reached, and invite new people to help us shape it.

Many threads to reflect on and weave into our future work! We'd love to hear what you got out of it, and what the future holds for you!

"What we cannot imagine cannot come into being"

What future are you imagining and working to build? How can we imagine it together, so it's safe, equitable, abundant for everyone?

Crucial questions to explore.

Join us 10-11 June for our #TransformOurFuture North West gathering, to help us shape the journey: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/organizations/events
