Monday Book Study 2026, meeting 5: "How to Fall in Love with the Future"

This is our 5th and last meeting of our 5-part Zoom book discussion of: How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller’s Guide to Changing the World by Rob Hopkins.

For our fourth meeting, please read pages 131-160 - chapter 9, 10 & afterword.

Rob Hopkins, cofounder of the international Transition Network movement, invites us to travel to future worlds we would actually want to live in. There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead of us—like threads stretching out into the distance. He asks us to consider: what would the world look like if we all got to work imagining—and then building—a world we were deeply in love with? From the life and writings of musician Sun Ra and the history of Black utopian movements to the latest neuroscience on what goes on in our minds—and hearts—when we “time travel,” Hopkins brings essential new thinking to anyone overwhelmed with dread and anxiety for the future.

SCHEDULE/PLAN: We will meet on Zoom for a facilitated discussion Mondays, January 5 & 19, Feb 2 & 16, & March 2 (5 weeks), 7-8:30pm.

In our Permaculture Topics Discussions & Book Studies, we aim to expand our knowledge of topics related to permaculture in an ongoing series where members can connect to build community. This series has a particular focus on "social/societal permaculture."

The series is facilitated by Seacoast Permaculture & NOFA-NH members who are involved in organic growing, education and social justice movements. The facilitators help the conversation move along, and make sure everyone gets a chance to share.

About our cosponsor: NOFA-NH actively promotes organic, regenerative, ecologically sound farming, gardening, eating, and land care practices for healthy communities. We help people build local, just, and sustainable food systems. Learn more at https://www.nofanh.org
