Transition Towns - Communities prepared for Post-Oil

[Encephalon]

Here I am, finishing up a master's thesis on ecovillages, and on a dime I discover an even newer movement, one devoted to creating small-scale self-sufficient villages populated with resilient, eco-conscious, healthy warrior/sages... sounds kinda familiar to anyone who has read about ancient Taoist culture.

 

I am so ready to act on this, and I am proud to say that the third link represents just such a community back in my old neighborhood of Sonoma County, Ca. It seems to me that Taoists can contribute mightily to the task of teaching people how to stay healthy when the western medical establishment goes under.

 

I am sooooooo there, and I think a lot of TaoBums are too. Time to plaster the west coast of N. America with Taoist Transition Towns... Yeah!!
