Films, films, films- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - THIS WEEK

There's a feast of films showing at the Daylesford Town Hall ..... two sessions 6.30pm and 8.30pm. If you have missed some of the films shown by HRN that you really wanted to see, here is the opportunity to see:

Energy Descent Action Planning

HRN does most things that are in line with the transition to a simpler lifestyle to encourage the strong development of a cohesive, self reliant and socially just community.

Informed by the rapidly emerging energy descent future after many generations of the 'big is better' view of progress 'fuelled' by energy ascent, it is often hard to imagine what energy descent might look like. Even more challenging is how we might think positively and plan to not only survive but thrive in a future with less energy. This light hearted FAQ helps explain energy descent and action planning. If you have any comments or feedback, we can develop it into a joint paper that may be useful for all of us to send to friends and family.

Transitioning is happening in the Shire in many small and meaningful ways which are the basis for people to really embrace bite sized changes in their lives on an ongoing basis to achieve the larger goal of adapting to, and even enjoying, a lower energy future.

Join some of the things happening around eg SHAre activities, the Community Gardens, the Central Highlands Goat Club, the Daylesford & District Horticulture Society to name just a few or/and start something with your friends/family/playgroup.

Film night # 41 and Words in Winter book launch

Words in Winter is a celebration of some of our local wordsmiths with a few imports to round things off. From Clunes to Trentham, there is something local for everyone so hop on your bike and pedal along to your nearest gig.

In Daylesford, August 12th at 7pm, Melliodora Publishing will launch Permaculture Pioneers, Stories from the New Frontier at the Neighbourhood Centre new classroom. Talk to the editors, some of the authors and the publishers. Get an insight into the people and the process.

And while you are there, watch Anima Mundi, a new film by Warburton filmaker Peter Charles Downey. Discuss the film with Peter, Adam Grubb from Permablitz and our own David Holmgren. Film starts at 8.15pm.
