About Rob Hopkins

Rob Hopkins is co-founder of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, author of several books including “The Transition Handbook” and most recently “From What Is to What If: Unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want”.
The scale and pace required for a timely transition looks daunting.
At times it seems that the only consensus in our society is that the future is getting worse.
Yet our own history is full of evidence of turning points where cultures change quickly, dramatically and unexpectedly – for the better.
Transition movement co-founder Rob Hopkins has seen it happen first-hand around the world and in his own town of Totnes in England, where the community is becoming its own housing developer, energy company, business incubator and local food network – with cascading benefits for the community that go far beyond the projects themselves.

This is one event in a series of events on September 12-13, explore the others below and reserve a spot:
