Profile Information
- How are you currently involved in the Transition?
- (Hello, just letting folks know this is an old post, don't really have time to change it yet, but I'm back from Lost Valley, living in B-ham again!)
Currently, I am in route to the Lost Valley Educational Center (Eugene, Oregon) an aspiring eco-village which teaches permaculture and sustainability skills. I will be interning as vegetarian cook for 9 months.
I have also recently been living in the Bellingham Alternative Library, a modest hub for community events and educational workshops, as well as participated in local events and workshops on permaculture, sustainability, and organic gardening.
- In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
- I identify with the Transition movement for a variety of reasons.
Primarily, my education through Huxley, Western's college of the environment, has introduced me to the potentials of climate change, peak oil, etc....
I also spent 6 months living in New Zealand, participating in an ecology-based study abroad program as well as living and working on eco-villages, and retreats and spiritual centers/communities.
Back in Bellingham, I have lived in various community households, and worked for local farmers, businesses, volunteer organizations, non-profits, and art/music venues to support sustainability, health, abundance, community, environmental awareness, and education.
I have also participated in a variety of alternative "neo-tribal" gatherings, such as artistic music festivals and rainbow gatherings.
I am interested in the transition to a healthier society because I am aware of the sickness and pain of our current society. Also, I have seen the potentials of a better one :)
- Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?
- I am a musician. I used to be a member of a local six piece bellingham band called Sweet Beets. We played frequently and raised money for perhaps 7-10 local non-profits, in addition to our regular shows. One of our songs will be featured as the theme music for a seattle based movie entitled, Mission Sustainable.

As I mentioned, I will also soon be attending the Lost Valley Education Center as intern, and have connections with a variety of grassroots communities, and some neighboring farms and landtrusts within and around Bellingham.
- In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?
- I live on forest street.

Heather K said… Hi Aaron! Welcome to the Earth Gardens network! You might also like to receive a Garden E-News that Shannon volunteers to email out, once you pass your email on to her. New member info page is at- http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/member-info-events-links
I think you'll find the E-News informative even while you are working down at Lost Valley! Hope you make it north for the Herb Faire in August in Skagit county!
