Come and be inspired by the real life examples of what is being created…and approved, out there in the wider community.  What is really possible for all of us to bring together as resources for local transformation.  If you are in Government, land use planning, ecological design, community development, or anything to do with sustainability planning and project work – this is your night.

Kentree sent me this vid, and at the beginning I heard “the news man voice” and felt the impulse to turn it off… and then? And then it got good. Really. Good.
