Wellington
There are transition town groups in: Brooklyn, Hataitai, Johnsonville, Karori, Lower Hutt, Ngaio, Upper Hutt, Wadestown, and Wellington South.
There is a regional Wellington Transition Town steering committee, but it mostly serves as a networking and sharing of experience hub, rather than attempting to dictate actions or processes to local groups.
Background on Wellington Initiatives
We had our first Transition Towns of Wellington meeting in November 2007. We felt that because Wellington is a reasonably large area, it makes sense to create Transition Initiatives by suburb or suburb groups initially. However, we still need to network regularly as a whole to meet, share experiences and do some planning towards Transition Town Wellington!
Since that first Wellington meeting, Transition Initiatives have been popping up all over Wellington - the response has been amazing! So many capable people are stepping up to bring this movement to their local communities. Change is in the air...

Values for creating sustainable culture - Wellington
Submitted by Rimu on 22 November 2009 - 9:53am 28 Nov 2009 10:00
28 Nov 2009 17:00
Our spiritual life provides a strong basis for building a sustainable life. For this work, we'll take Nature as our teacher.
In meditation, we embody the values we need to develop, get to know what they feel like and develop the habit of feeling that way. Meditation helps us find inner sources of contentment and happiness, and weather the stormwinds of change.
We can build our communities on a foundation of love, compassion and mutual valuing.
We'll use meditation and other exercises, sharing and discussion.
Beginners and experienced meditators welcome
