As one of the initiators, he has delivered hundreds of Transition Trainings to thousands of participants in twenty countries that has lead to a local project in South West England becoming a world wide movement in over 50 countries.He has also delivered hundreds of talks and interviews on issues relating to Transition and regenerative culture. He co-designed and co-facilitated the first Deep Adaptation Deep Dive in December 2018, is part of a group who are exploring what ‘Deep Adaptation’ means both personally and as a society. He is currently working with Gaia Education developing a framework for Education as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and facilitating a variety of online and face to face courses exploring systemic change through re-imagining and re-purposing our current culture. Before the Transition movement took over his life he lived and worked in an eco community, was Managing Director of a landscape company, and a gaffer in the film industry, as well as teaching meditation.
