Enjoying the food and conversation! 
When folks ask me what is this project about, "What are you doing?" I ask them, "What are you doing?" Work with us, engage, play and let's figure it all out together in a way you might not be used to. That's what this Transition Town process is all about! Rob Hopkins founded the movement in 2005 in Totnes, England. The idea behind it is how do we go from peak oil, and really peak everything, to Resilience and have a LOT of fun along the way! Join Us in this amazing proecess!!!
