We welcome anyone who appreciates the enormity of the perfect storm of peak oil, global warming, food shortage, housing crash and economic decline brewing on the horizon. You realize that life as we know it will never be the same and you are prepared to take radical and urgent action in concert with others. Technocrats, legal heads, grant writers, campaign strategists, architects, planners step to the plate and be part of the change you wish to see. We intend to move on this expeditiously and you are needed to write, design, document and communicate the path of the dreamers, crazies and visionaries.
The perfect storm brings the perfect opportunity.

While it is necessary to organize and network towards our shared goals, a vibrant community is built one relationship at a time. Let us not lose sight of this basic human function.
Join us as we get to know and learn from each other, to develop trust, respect and affinities. We'll use a number of tools and techniques to engage and involve everyone in a supportive and safe space. Read more
