I am interested in learning more about gardening, seed saving, water conservation, alternative energy, food preserving, edible wild food identification. I am a life long student of Herbs and Aromatherapy for health, medicine and family care. We are an urban family. We love exploring local environments and photographing the beauty that surrounds us here in NW. We are also stargazers, using the telescope or just laying on the ground seeing the
wonders of the night sky.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
Its necessary to share skills and information with others who envision an abundant life in ways that do not relying on big business, factory farms, and finite resources as the population grows exponentially on our planet. This current unbalanced mode is obviously not sustainable on any level as it is not healthy for any life forms. I am very interested in finding community, and building interdependent relationships with others who work toward a more enlightened evolution. Fortunately there is a large array of sustainable methods to cultivate as we can draw from the past while integrating the new.
