The Lewiston Auburn area Transition Town and Permaculture Meetup is to help you become more self-sufficient. Our goal is to reduce our use of fossile fuels, and to develop a self-sustaining community in the Lewiston/Auburn area. We will learn from each other ways to effectively increase our resilience in food production, use of local resources, the manufacturing of needed items. Most importantly, we will develop a tight community where we can rely on each other's talents and gifts.

This web site is meant to be an information-sharing hub for citizens of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough Maine who want to move from fossil fuel dependence to local resilience. At this time it is not about creating "a new group," but rather connecting all of the good work that is already happening, communicating among ourselves and collaborating on shared efforts when it makes sense! _______________ More details coming soon (and some preliminary organizational chats, I'm sure!) but …

Divorced after a long term marriage (18 years), I started up this informal support group to reach out to  others going through divorce-related "stuff" when I was in the thick of things.

Here in New Hampshire, where town-meeting local government, Yankee ingenuity and frugality are part of our heritage, finding local solutions to larger societal problems may be in our genes. A question worth asking in these difficult economic times is how can we tap these age-old community values to address new problems such as the ever-increasing cost of energy, the reliance on distant and anonymous suppliers to meet our local needs, and our ability to help one another through times of stress an …

A transition takes place where we feel, understand and view the world differently. We begin to understand the Universe. We start to understand d …
