2008 the Transition Handbook was published, because when transition began, people came to Totnes and asked how to do it - so TN came up with The twelve steps.
Now that things are developing and moving forward, the twelve steps are being updated.
The Twelve steps for those new to the process are:
- form a steering group and plan its demise
- awareness raising
- lay the foundations
- form working groups
- Great Unleashing
- develop visible practical manifestations of your projects
- facilitate the great reskilling
- create a bridge to local authority
- honour the elders
- let it go where it wants to go...
- EDAP - energy descent plan
What are the benefits? The order is not stuck, but there is a methodology to work from.
