Transitions - Journey to Maturity as the Body of Christ - Nomination of Elders and Deacons If you like any type of gardening or cultivating, planting is involved at one point in time or another. If you buy a small plant, eventually, you have to transition it to a bigger pot. If you buy a tree, you have to plant it somewhere in your yard. Plants are living things and need to grow. That involves transitioning. Even if you plant seeds, you often plant them in a small place, grow them and then transition them to a more permanent place. Transition - Movement or passage from one position, state, or stage to another.

 Welcome to this special  series of climate conversations  recorded during COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow , November 2021.In November, while the global climate conference (COP26) was taking place I recorded a series of conversations.  I did wish I could have been there to be part of this global connection of movements and activism happening around the meeting of world leaders who are putting their plans on the table to limit climate change to below 1.5.  Disappointingly, the Australian PM embarrassed himself with putting fossil fuels ahead of the planet. I decided it didn't make sense for me to fly there, but I still wanted to know what was going on, and share this with you, so each couple of days I checked in with friends who were there. Together we explore: What's happening on the streets at COP26?What's going on in the various forums and venues?What are their reflections of what is being said, what's next?We also explore what it is we can all be doing in response to climate change.In this conversation on Day 6 of COP26 in Glasgow and I am speaking with author-activist Rob Hopkins who is in Glasgow to be part of the community events. Here I talk with Rob about the agreements being made (and not) by the world leaders, what is happening on the ground, around the streets, in the conference and in the Green Zone where indigenous groups, cultural events, youth groups, civil society are hanging out. Totnes-based Rob Hopkins is in Glasgow for COP26 - the global climate conference - heralded as the most important conference ever to have been held. Rob is the co-founder of the Transition Movement, author of many books including ‘From What is to What If': Unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want'  and hosts a podcast series called, "From What is to What Next?" . He tells us that there are a number of podcasts there his put up in relation to COP - so go and check them out via his website above.  He also mentioned the rapid transition movement.Thanks for listening. Morag Gamblehttps://permacultureeducationinstitute.org

Type 2 is a podcast from Looking Sideways in association with Patagonia that explores the intersection between the outdoors, action sports and activism. My guest for this episode of Type 2 is Rob Hopkins, a ridiculously prolific UK-based activist, author, podcaster, lecturer and environmentalist who describes himself as a ‘champion of the collective imagination'. There are many lessons and insights in this chat, but two themes predominate - the power of local movements to lead to wider, societal change; and the importance of imagination and creativity in this wider process. For Rob, the act of imagining different outcomes and realities is integral if we are to get through the perilous climate situation we find ourselves in. If you think about it, this is a profound insight. After all, one thing that keeps the status quo in place is a kind of imaginative helplessness, this idea that our own actions are destined not to have any impact, so there's no point in bothering. Rob sees this condition of inertia and confusion as ‘a state of promise,' and his work is primarily concerned with arming people with the tools to break out of this imaginative malaise, and to reimagine our individual and collective realities so we can create a better future. That's the basis of Rob's pioneering work with the Transition Movement, for example, and the work he's currently leading in his home town of Totnes in the UK. Rob is a truly original thinker with an ethos that is a beguiling blend of pragmatism and untrammelled creativity. I found this to be a hugely inspiring, thought-provoking and insightful conversation. I hope you do too. New episodes of Type 2 are released every four weeks through my Looking Sideways channel. Hear it by subscribing to Looking Sideways via ApplePodcasts, Spotify or any of the usual other podcast providers. Thanks to Ewan Wallace for the theme tune, and to my editor Fina Charleson.

This week on World Ocean Radio: part 43 of the BLUEprint Series outlining a new and sustainable path forward with the ocean leading the way. In this episode we introduce listeners to The Transition Network, outlining some of the 1,150 global initiatives that reflect the principles and practical actions of community, sustainability, resilience, justice and change. 

« We need to be able to imagine positive, feasible, delightful versions of the future before we can create them. Not utopias, but futures where things turned out OK. Having the opportunity to "test drive" the future, to experience different version of the future, can help us feel they are possible ». This is a quote from the last book written by our guest today: Rob Hopkins. The book is called "Fromwhat is to what if" Rob Hopkins is best known as the founder of the Transition Movement and the Transition Town of Totnes. 

What’s old is new: Cold cellars are back. Transition Guelph launches an initiative to build local food-storage capacity through cold cellar education and installations. We find out what they’re doing—and get tips to help you make a home cold cellars. We are joined by Steve Tedesco and Ian Findlay from Transition Guelph. Tedesco is a Guelph-area farmer, and Findlay is a contractor specializing in cold cellars. Why Cold Cellars are Back Findlay says to think of a cold cellar as a passively-chilled walk-in cooler. He says people with the added food-storage capacity of a cold cellar can store more homegrown produce, and can also stock up on locally grown produce when it is in season. Tedesco points out that having a cold cellar can change the way meals are planned. “It becomes an active participation sport to manage your cold room and plan your meals around what you have so that nothing goes to waste,” he says. Tedesco explains that the Transition Movement is a global movement focused on building local resilience. Transition Guelph formed in 2009.

Rob Hopkins, author of From What is to What if and founder of The Transition Town Network explains to Old Fox Young Fox how communities around the world are coming together to make a difference. We discuss his book From What is to What if and the premise that drives it and how he found himself moving from teaching Permaculture to founding a global movement now spanning over 1,200 towns. This is inspiring stuff and speaks deeply firstly to the dire global situation we find ourselves in and importantly acts as a call to arms for us all to feel empowered to do something about it. Because together, we can just get more done.

Rob Hopkins is one of the founders of the Transition Network ­­­­­that emerged from the Transition Town Initiative in Totnes in the mid 2000s. Rob has written several books about how local communities can build resilience and more sustainable life forms by localizing the economy and making use of the skills and ability that exist within the community itself. I met Rob in 2018 at Schumacher collage just outside Totnes. During our conversation we talked about how the Transition Network originally emerged and spread across the world. We also discussed the challenges that arise when people from diverse backgrounds come together to change their behaviours and practices. Editing: Tommi Ranta

People feel defeated when they hear the grand cost of achieving carbon neutrality. But what if some of the solutions were to be found in revitalising the collective imagination, harnessing the dynamism of local communities and rethinking local economies to achieve a sustainable future? In this episode we speak with Rob Hopkins, the founder of the Transition movement, which seeks to do exactly that. The Transition movement is all about dreaming the future we want to create and rebuilding the world at the level of individual communities. When you look at a local community through a Transition lens, you find numerous opportunities to bring the economy home, recreating it in a way that enables money to stay local and cycle locally, all the while creating community connection and entrepreneurship. There are currently Transition groups in more than 50 countries worldwide and Rob shared some of the unique local projects. One example was Black Isle peninsula in Scotland was given funding to focus on transportation solutions and because they knew their situation best, they arrived at a solution of encouraging biking, ridesharing, and walking in ways were synergistic, so much so that they reduced their mileage by an amount equivalent to driving to the Moon and back two and a half times. The City of Liege in Belgium asked “what if in a generation's time the majority of the the food eaten in Liege were grown on the land closest to Liege. This resulted in 21 new cooperatives, 5 million euros of investment by local people, two new farms started, two vineyards, a brewery, and 3 shops in town. Lastly, in the thriving Transition town of Totnes, the Reconomy Center is an innovative incubator for new enterprises. They run an event every year where people step up to support each other with their new enterprises. Totnes also has some projects that are building over 100 homes, workshop spaces, a hotel, and a new space for public events, which will all be in community ownership forever and will generate funds going forward. A common thread of successful Transition efforts is that you see solutions that have benefits beyond a direct reduction in carbon emissions – you also see public health strategy, biodiversity, economic strategy, people feeling invested in their community, and more. Because of the way things work with subsidies, externalities unaccounted for in costs, existing infrastructures and organizations, we get stuck in our current way and often lack the imagination or dedication to do the necessary rethinking of systems and rebuilding of economies to create a better future. The Transition movement invites and inspires us to think outside the box about the future we wish to create. Rob shares his vision of reimagining the future into something positive, realistic, and hopeful through storytelling and creating ‘memories of the future'. We need great leaders to help us overcome our imaginative poverty. The post Episode 72: Interview with Rob Hopkins, founder of Transition movement appeared first on The Sustainability Agenda.

In this episode of the Paris Paysanne Podcast we talk with Eva Anastasiu about building community and the Transition Movement. 

Rob Hopkins tells us the story of how the Transition movement started and how he uses stories and innovations to paint possibilities and reposition the way we see ourselves in relation to nature and the future. -

Rob Hopkins tells us the story of how the Transition movement started and how he uses stories and innovations to paint possibilities and reposition the way we see ourselves in relation to nature and the future. Rob has created the world-wide network of positive engagement he imagined to himself a more than a decade ago. People rebuilding local agriculture and food production, localizing energy production, rethinking healthcare, buildings, waste management and more. Rob visited Sweden in October 2017. He was the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Swedish Transition Network, Omställningsnätverket, that took place in the town Växjö. After that he visited municipalities, universities, local entrepreneurs and transition initiatives in southern Sweden. Rob is very inspiring. He knows about the problems we faces, but even so he manages to feed people with hope through his thinking and storytelling. He challenge the world to bring innovation, to imagine a thriving future and to try out things you didn’t think was possible. Rob uses the water flowing through a forest as a metaphor for local economy. From a presentation in Örebro, Sweden. He does it by telling stories about what other people have achieved, and by using vivid metaphors. He compares money and economy with rain in a forest. And imagines the Queen throwing bricks through his window because she might get pissed when Rob introduced a local currency. Kevin Anderson once said: ”The largest obstacle is the human lack of imagination of what a better world would look like”. In Robs words that is: "What if?, Let’s try!" Punk had a big influence on Rob. The spirit of punk, if you don’t like the music on the radio, make your own. If you know 3 chords, form a band. And in his 20’s he got a book about permaculture, and that's where he started to question the way we use energy and grow food. And eventually out of that grew the Transition movement. This interview with Rob was recorded in Uppsala, October 10, 2017. /Martin Hedberg
