Profile Information

In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?: North Vancouver

If you don't live in Vancouver or are in another neighbourhood or community we did not list, please tell us where home is.: I'm moving to Vancouver or North Vancouver in October.

Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, placemaking, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...: All of the above, and I'm particularly interested in community building in the form of effective collaboration/governance and restorative systems for conflict.

There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!): I am a Nonviolent Communication Trainer and Restorative Systems practitioner. I also have training in Dynamic Governance and am passionate about Interpersonal Neurobiology.

What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?: I'd love to see Restorative Systems for conflict for groups that are working together for greater sustainability and resiliency.

I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.: Yes
