Hi Linda -- greetings to you and other members from Beckenham, which the real estate agents used to call "Lower Cashmere" ;-)

Thanks for your recent input re CCC newsletter censorship -- great to have your support.

Cheers

Peter

Hi Christop,
Welcome to Transition Cashmere. We maybe a small group but now that the new year has started and I'm back at my computer....and back in the community it's time to re-engage. Over the Xmas break, I have been very lucky/blessed to have experienced a modest yet thriving sustainable community - almost at the opposite end of the spectrum to Cashmere...the Upper Selwyn Huts! I am very curious to see how my engagement with both communities goes this year...I almost feel that the 'universe' has provided a perfect model of the 'both/and', rather than 'either/or' of communities in the wider sense. I would love to be a conduit for more engagement between these communities...there is much that is the same yet much that is so completely different - so much to learn from each other. It may be good to adopt each other as sister/brother learning communities. The Upper Selwyn Huts is a microcosm of the transition towns dream......here I have engaged with human ecologist and eastern orthodox minister, Keith Morrison whom I'm sure would be a great asset to any future dialogue.
On this theme and aligned with a topic of speciaI interest to me is the impending publication of "Integral Ecology". I'm also very excited about the impending inauguration of the possible first 'integral' political leader tomorrow
Take care,
Linda

Welcome Les,
Transition Cashmere is both a geographical and virtual community.
Many of us will have been inspired by the momentum towards positive change sparked by the campaign and election of Barack Obama in the US. Can we engage the enthusiasm needed to get involved in changing old structures and systems that don’t work any more, in our communities at the bottom of the globe?
The Cashmere Vision and Values Project has begun the work of understanding who we are and what our vision for community could be….check out www.cashmere.org.nz. We ar both conservative and future thinking. We have a huge resource in the knowledge and skills of our people and we could be integral in evolving an integral consciousness in New Zealand.
As we look over the Southern Alps, can we glimpse a view of the future? Can we evolve and embed the consciousness of both sustainability and enlightenment - and if so, what would this look like?
