Profile Information

How might your current work contribute to the Transition movement?
I run a small organization called Seminary of the Street, the mission of which is to devise and teach ways to respond to injustice and suffering that don't replicate domination, exploitation, and violence.

What background and skills do you bring to this community?
I am in seminary and bring pastoral skills and broad interest in and knowledge of spiritual practices across faith traditions.
What aspects of the Transition Town movement most interests you?
Seminary of the Street could offer classes and publicize events.
