Thank you to all who participated in an exciting vision session in December. By the end of the evening the room was brimming with positive energy, let's roll with it!

In the last couple months four members of the SB Seeds Committee attended TT trainings taught by founders of the movement in the Totnes and we are very excited to share and use tools we learned to help build this movement in Santa Barbara.
