Looking for funding for your Transition initiative? One of the biggest fundraising mistakes is applying for the wrong type of funding at the wrong time. A stronger fundraising strategy starts with one question: What stage is our initiative in?

Not all narratives help community-led change. Some frames, even well-intentioned ones, can make communities seem smaller, weaker or more dependent than they really are. Here are 5 framing traps to avoid. 🧵

Want your stories to better reflect the scale of community-led transformation? Here are 5 framing techniques we're using in the Transition Movement. 🧵

Are your stories unintentionally making community-led change look smaller than it really is? Here are two simple #NarrativeHack tips we're using at the Transition Network International. 🧵

Stress is inevitable when we're working for social change. But what if understanding our nervous system could help us build stronger, healthier movements? 🧵

Many of us entered climate and social movements because we care deeply. But how do we keep caring without burning out? 🧵

Learning from living systems is one of the core characteristics of the Transition Movement. We understand the principles of living systems and use whole-system design to help regenerate communities, organizations, economies, food systems, education, health, and much more. 🧵

Groups don't struggle because people don't care. They struggle because everyone is moving toward a different destination. Here's a simple process to build a shared vision, mission, and aims with your team.

No community changes the world alone. Every local project becomes stronger when it's connected to something bigger. That's what the Transition movement is all about.

Every thriving community project starts with the same question: Where do we begin? The answer isn't "with the biggest idea." It's by taking the first practical step that brings people together.

Communities don't change all at once. New ideas spread gradually, through relationships, trust, and visible examples. Understanding how change happens can help us engage people where they are, instead of expecting everyone to move at the same pace.

Looking to deepen your regenerative practice this July? Whether you want to explore cultural transformation or connect with a global community of changemakers, we've got three free opportunities to learn, reflect, and grow together. 👇

One of the hardest parts of creating change is not having good ideas. It is working well with other people. Groups need to make decisions, navigate differences, resolve conflict, build trust, and keep moving without burning out. None of this happens automatically.

Inner transition begins with a difficult question: where does change actually start? Some people begin with action, building projects and transforming systems. Others begin with reflection, asking how our beliefs, emotions, and habits are connected to the crises around us. Transition invites both.

Vision is more than a nice image of the future. It is the ability to see, imagine, remember, and plan across time. In moments of crisis, vision helps us move beyond reaction and begin asking what kind of future we want to create, and what role we can play in bringing it closer.

Many of the crises we face today are often presented as separate issues: climate change, migration, inequality, democratic erosion, biodiversity loss. But what if they're all symptoms of the same system? Understanding our global context means learning to see the connections.

We are living through overlapping crises—climate breakdown, inequality, economic instability—and many people feel the urgency to act but don't know where to begin. Transition starts with a simple question: What is within our reach right now? Change begins by moving from overwhelm to action.

Quick experiment: Pick up your phone and look at it the way you normally do. Really notice what happens. Does your head move forward? Do your shoulders roll in? Does your jaw tighten?

Ever notice how your body changes when you're reading stressful news, answering emails, or scrolling social media? Your shoulders come forward. Your jaw tightens. Your head moves closer to the screen. And your body starts acting as if it's under threat.

Feeling tired, distracted, or tense after spending time on your computer? Before blaming your workload, try this 2-minute experiment: Your posture might be affecting your energy more than you think.

What if the key to a healthier relationship with technology isn't another productivity hack but awareness? Many of us spend our evenings scrolling, streaming, clicking, and switching between apps without ever noticing what's pulling our attention.

The internet didn’t always feel like this. There was a time (early 2000s) when it felt more open, more hopeful. Blogs, forums, and early platforms gave people space to publish, connect, and challenge dominant narratives. But something has shifted.

What if technology wasn’t something separate from life, but part of a living web of relationships? Between people, land, spirit, and everything that sustains us? This is where Ubuntu offers a radically different lens on tech. 🧵

What if we evaluated technology the same way we evaluate food, relationships, or work? Not by asking "What can it do?" But by asking: "Is this actually good for me, my community, and the world?" A simple framework from our Tech in Transition series: 🧵

How do you start your mornings with technology? The first moments after waking often shape our attention for the entire day, yet we rarely notice how quickly we reach for our phones or screens. Here are some tips from our Tech in Transition course:

We often talk about “too much screen time” as a willpower issue. But what if our relationship with technology isn’t about discipline or control, but about how we’re actually relating to it, moment by moment?

Most of us have a “default tech posture” we slip into without noticing. It shapes how we sit, breathe, think, and feel while we use our devices. Here is a very short practice to notice how technology impacts your body, breath, and energy.

Tired of social media algorithms deciding what you see and who you connect with? There's a different way to use technology and communities around the world are already doing it. 🧵
