Rob Hopkins is founder of Transition Town Totnes, the first transition town project in the UK. Transition Towns are an emerging approach to enabling towns to prepare for peak oil and climate change and act as catalysts for the community to explore how the end of the age of cheap oil will affect them. They are based on the simple assertion that life beyond cheap oil and gas could be preferable to the present, but only if we engage in designing this transition with sufficient creativity and imagination.

Sophia van Ruth (aus) lived Totnes for 12 months, where she had direct involvement with the Transition Initiative. She will be sharing her experiences and reflections on the process, and will be open for questions and discussion.

Sophia is a fresh Graduate of the Masters in Holistic Science Schumacher College in England, which is an international centre for ecological studies. She has a degree in interior design, but has worked more in urban design - coordinating and facilitating community involvement in decision making processes. She also facilitates something called InterPlay, which works with improvised dance, story, song and drawing.
