"My heart was new when I came out of the wilderness". . .

I am personally calling all hearts in the NZ Transition Towns movement to come out of the wilderness and "give with great love". 

James Samuel is serving NZ transition towns up and down this beautiful country daily.  He is available to you and your "love in action" transition projects 24 hours a day and has spent over a year knitting the threads throughout the country. I feel some of why TT has grown so quickly and with so much vigor is because of the dedication, knowledge, skills, networking, speaking, media coverage, workshops, website, blog, and general support James has given it.  No one asked James to take an official position as netweaver of TT NZ and because of the man many of us know he is, James has been able to serve from his heart and give with great love using his own resources including money.

with UK TT trainers Naresh and Sophy

Naresh Giangrande and Sophy Banks have been running "Training for Transition" workshops in Totnes and around the UK since 2007.

Atamai Village is the first human settlement designed specifically for the post-petroleum age and the uncertainties of climate change.  Based on a permaculture design, approximately 100 Ha are being developed at the top of the South Island to provide a traditional village layout of clustered, privately owned housing, nearby food production areas, orchards, and a forest regeneration project.  All homes will be passive solar designs, made largely from local materials, and be built to last centuries.  The energy flows on the land from the sun, wind, rain and soil will be harnessed to enhance t

With the recent addition of Transition Town Brooklyn to the list of towns Towns who have formalised their adoption of the model, the total is now up to seven - with the total list of Transition initiatives being over 40. Well done Brooklyn.

Formalising an initiative is not a particularly onerous task, and it does seem a useful way of focusing on and ensuring the criteria that give an initiative a strong base to move forward from, are in place.
