The Unleashing Event:

What should happen...?

(please add thoughts here)

An event that feels like a pulling together of groups, people, energy, awareness towards Transition. Celebratory, practical, the 'end very much in mind' ie setting targets and asking for people to step up to form groups to achieve them... , a space for visioning, for networking, finding local allies, synergy...

Who should be there...?

(please add thoughts here)

Speakers: Rob Hopkins is booked, Chris Johnstone (Joanna Macy deep ecology colleague and author of Find Your Power) is traditional at Unleashings and reputedly excellent but I don't know his work..

What would we like them to say?

People from every sector in Lambeth, residents, faith groups, voluntary sector, health, business, market, creative and cultural, Lambeth council members inc leaders, officers inc 'Environment Champions', partner subcontract organisations, Veolia,

People not there to boast about what they are doing but to understand how far there is to go and to resolve to go there together because it is a place we would prefer to be.

What is the outcome you'd like to see...?

(please add thoughts here)

More working groups, a strong central direction finding hub group, buy in and support, cooperation from Lambeth. Lots of
