[Scpg] Transition Town "Life After Oil" workshop in LA on Saturday

[LBUZZELL at aol.com]

Here is what we've received about the Transition workshop this weekend in  
LA.  I believe there's still room for a few more folks to sign up. Contact  
_legacyla at gmail.com_ (mailto:legacyla at gmail.com)  or check out

Hello Transitioners!

You are receiving this email because we  have you registered for the "Life 
After Oil" event this coming Saturday, Sept  20, 9am-5pm in Westchester/Los 
Angeles.

As we put the final touches on  materials, etc, we're getting excited -- and 
we hope you are too.  The  people included in this email (and thus in the 
participant list for Saturday)  are coming from Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, 
Palmdale, Laguna Beach, Rancho Palos  Verdes, Frazier Park, Valley View, and 
Hendersonville, Tennessee, as well as our  more "local" areas of Santa Monica, West 
LA, Mar Vista, Marina del Rey, Culver  City, Westchester, Inglewood, El 
Segundo, Redondo Beach and  Torrance.

When we asked you to preregister, we said that we would send  participant 
materials via email, but we've changed those plans somewhat.   We're now 
realizing that perhaps the most significant part of this  (ground-breaking) session 
might become the fact that you each get to meet each  other and know that you 
are not out there alone working on the only Transition  action in So Calif.  
Thus forming working relationships--interconnected and  interdependent 
relationships--is very important.  

To this end,  we're setting up an email loop so that we can all communicate.  
Hop onto  YahooGroups and join _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TTLA/_ 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TTLA/)     Introduce yourself and start to "meet" the 
people you'll meet in person on  Saturday.  You can start the process of 
sharing the Transition progress  your local area has made, or the potential 
receptivity of your local area if  there is not yet anything happening there.  As we 
accumulate Transition  initiative tips and resources, our discussions will be 
archived and become a  resource for those people and communities who join the 
Transition movement later  on.  So, come join in the Great Conversation of how 
we are going to go  about Transitioning society toward a post-oil culture.

Meanwhile, as you  probably already know, there is a list of resources at 
_http://envirochangemakers.org/TTLA.htm_ (http://envirochangemakers.org/TTLA.htm) 
   We will be expanding and transforming this list next week, so that it 
includes  all the materials we use on Saturday.  That way, if you want to go back 
to  something, or use it again in your local community, you will have access 
to  it.  If there is sufficient interest from you, we'll move or replicate the  
list at the _http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TTLA/_ 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TTLA/)   links.  The links and files at that YahooGroup are currently set 
such that  you as members can add to them. Thus we could develop a local 
resource base of  the Transition tools we have tried and tested in So Calif.

We look  forward to meeting all of you, and to sharing an exciting day 
together this  Saturday.
