Re-Localize to Thrive 

welcome

The Belfast Area Transition Initiative began in February, 2010 with a discussion group based on the "Transition Handbook," facilitated by Unity College professor Doug Fox and hosted by the Belfast Free Library, Belfast Co-op, Unitarian Universalist Church of Belfast, and the Green Store.  From this group, some of us have continued to meet and in 2012 became an official Transition Initiative (TI). . .a volunteer-run, independent, not-for-profit organization. 

We live in Belfast and the surrounding towns of Waldo County, Maine, and welcome other individuals and organizations who would like to contribute to the discussion and planning of our response to a variety of inevitable social changes.  Several communities in Maine are currently engaged in a similar process and each community's approach reflects their unique assets and challenges.
Next Meeting:  Thursday, June 13, 5:00-6:00 ; Potluck 6:00-8:00    Belfast City Park Pavillion
Come meet other folks interested in transitioning toward a more resilient way of life for the Belfast region!
Bring a dish to eat and share -- laid-back chatting during dinner, with a focused discussion afterwards.
