January monthly gathering on the 22nd
Festive Season Gathering under the Apple Tree
We are going to have a get together under the old apple tree that resides between Croxton and Northcote stations on the railway sidings. We thought a leisurely afternoon picnic under the apple tree, with BYO everything – rugs, chairs, food to share would be the way to go. So come along and catch up with fellow transitioners, and check out the old apple tree that has been nurtured by some TD members to bring it back to its former glory.
Date: Sunday 4th December
Location: under the old apple tree, Cnr Beavers Road and Herbert St, Northcote (railway line sidings)
Time: 2-4pm
Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t yet been involved in any of our activities, we would be very pleased to see you there. No need to reply, simply pop the date into your calendar and mosey on down to the apple tree for a lazy Sunday afternoon picnic.

Heart and Soul Day
Thanks to everyone who came to Transition Darebin’s first heart and soul workshop on the 6th of November. We had neighbours from Transition Banyule and Whitehorse with us and it was a lovely day to share with our fellow transitioners. There was yoga, there was meditation, and sharing of our thoughts, feelings and commitments about the world and our dreams for the Transition.
