Session 1
Strategies for Natural Disasters - community response
Hidenori Tanaka
2:00 - 3:00 am UTC
BIO:
After quitting his job in 2007, Hidenori started a restaurant in Mukonoso, Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. (BAR&Curry store) Started managing, planning, and holding community revitalization events in Amagasaki City. Started holding study sessions on Basic Income in 2010, mainly in the Hanshin area. He started to advocate the liberation from the employment economy. In 2012, he joined the newly established Transition Town Amagasaki. In 2017, he established an NPO called “Hachi” in order to engage in a wider range of civic activities. Currently, he is teaching agricultural methods to restore nature in the Philippines, restoring and improving the natural environment in Japan, supporting the self-reliance of the socially vulnerable, and creating mechanisms, building projects, and implementing projects together with the providers of issues that he believes are necessary to build a sustainable society.
ABOUT THE SESSION:
Local Initiatives
Transition Town Amagasaki was involved in activities at the site of a closed junior high school. As an extension of these activities, a new “community space” was built in the area and is being operated together with local residents. Many of the people involved are in their 40s to 80s, and they hold disaster-prevention lectures during tea breaks and display disaster-prevention goods. Disasters can strike at any time. Most people do not want to suffer (or die) from a disaster if at all possible. We are creating opportunities for people to actually pick up and touch disaster prevention goods, while including such topics in daily conversation.
Efforts with the Power to Communicate
UZUUMU, a newly built place in Minoh City, Osaka, is a kind of FABLAB (citizen's workshop) where people can share skills and donate money based on the concept of “Craftive Communion”. At this place, “interesting people” from the neighborhood gather after hearing about it from others, and freely express what they want to do. They also talk about disaster prevention with the people they meet there, participate in disaster prevention classes (twice a month), and hold workshops on eco-friendly crafts (solar food dryer, rocket stove, charcoal stove, etc.) that can be utilized in emergencies. Originally, the Japan Disaster Relief Activities Association set up the building in such a way, with the aim of building a community connected to local disaster prevention in the mountainous area of Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture. We are making it a place where interesting people with a wealth of ideas and the ability to communicate can gather in order to promote strong local disaster prevention. Currently, we have a stall for disaster prevention at the once-a-month Marché in Minoh City, and we are also developing a pet×disaster prevention project.

Session 7
Heartbeat of the Movement
With Zsanna Sebesteny (France), Renata Nacif (Brazil), Kornelia Senzenberger (Austria), Juliana Maria Medina Figueroa (Colombia)
14:00 - 15:00 UTC
ABOUT THE SESSION:
Feel the Heartbeat of the Movement! Four glimpses from four different territories, each telling a compelling story of positive change.
BIOS:
Zsanna Sebesteny (France)
Nuclear and hunger activist in her teens, following the publications of Silent Spring by Rachel Carson and the Meadows Report, “Limits to Growth”. Zsanna abandoned all hope of getting support from those who labeled her alarmist at those times. She retreated into spiritual communities and personal transformation, until the collapsologists and permaculturists fired her up again many years later, just in time to leave Paris before Covid lockdown hit, with the aim of cultivating a forest garden. Meeting the Transition Movement and the Work That Reconnects transformed her capacity to mobilise her own energy and to welcome support from many sources in order to create this virtual edible forest, the Garden of Active Hope.
ABOUT THE SESSION:
What is Active Hope? I will share the seeds, roots, compost, worms, rain, sun, sweat, shoots, branches, flowers, pollinators and fruit that contributed to the development of the French adaptation of Chris Johnstone's Active Hope Online training. I will also present our intentions for the ongoing blossoming of Circles of Active Hope, with new participants and facilitators, using this support.
The sources woven into this creation are Rob Hopkin's books, the French Inner Transition MOOC run by the Colibris and the Belgian Inner Transition team, Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects and her book Active Hope, co-written with Chris Johnstone.
Renata Nacif (Brazil)
Renata Nacif is one of the adopters of Praça José de Alencar, in Flamengo/RJ, in partnership with the City Hall. There, a group of local volunteers cultivates new ways of coexisting and caring for urban spaces through an agroforestry project.
About the session:
Aromatic Garden Calendar: Art Collaboration for Project Sustainability
The calendar was an initiative that combined art with the Aromatic Garden! Volunteers became artists, and a network of talents came together to make this initiative the main financial support for the urban agroforestry project in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Juliana Maria Medina Figueroa (Colombia)
I'm a social communicator and journalist specializing in Sustainable Community Development and social innovation (Master's degrees) and sustainable systems design (certification). For over 18 years, I've been passionate about harnessing the power of communication, creativity, and integral facilitation of learning processes, cultural transformation of organizations and communities to drive ecosocial regeneration in various Latin American contexts and roles: consultant, higher education teacher, facilitator, activist, creative, volunteer, and conference speaker to promote and/or support learning processes (personal, social, and ecological transition) for a just, happy, regenerative, and peaceful future.
ABOUT THE SESSION:
Ecosystemic Connection: From Confused Networks to Conscious Tissues: This talk presents a transformative vision born from the integration and reconciliation of our dysfunctional, fragmented, and confused social interactions, immersed in a disconnected and degenerative paradigm. We propose regenerative communication to cultivate meaningful and collaborative connections, inspired by deep ecology, ancestral wisdom, Reconnection Work, and other systemic approaches. We aim to contribute to the healing of Abya Yala, weaving happy, just, prosperous, regenerative, and peaceful bioregions.
Kornelia Senzenberger (Austria)
As a co-founder of Transition Vöcklabruck and host of the community house OTELO (open spaces for local initiatives and projects), where Food Coop, RepairCafes, Composting, Coworking, gatherings and lots more is happening. The village-university (a hybrid format for learning from transitional experiences) is one of her passions in connecting people and hubs in an inspirational way, which was growing out of the transition movement as well.
Her volunteering seeded also her professional areas in facilitation of change in regions and communities, trans-formative performing art and co-creation formats as well as regional development in implementing longterm participation systems of decision-making in Austrian municipalities (with sociocracy). She is hosting the Austrian group of local hosts – a project of the Pioneers of Change. Deeply rooted in nature, dance and indigenous traditions she is shape-shifting both aspects of present existence (economy and humanity) into a good life for everyone in peace and healthy balance.

Session 12
Transforming your Journey
Mama D
21:00 - 22:00 UTC
BIO:
Mama D’s lifework centres the intelligence of earth ecologies and the stories arising at the encounters between the worlds of human and more than human forms of life. Acknowledging the distributed nature of knowledges over time-space, her work recognises, and is responsive to, embodiments which are accessed in a host of multi-sensory and visceral ways. Co-creating imaginal and immersive journeys of exploration, we move towards elevating human consciousness into restorative, reparative and emergent more-just-than- human, world-making pathways.
ABOUT THE SESSION:
This is both story and practice: it involves a floating 'we', who interacts with life is a myriad of ways but who are experiencing these ways as being challenged all over, as 'we' move and are moved towards separations and segregations aspiring to become individual. But can 'we' live as discrete and isolated fragments, disconnected from the whole? The active storyfying encourages 'us' to use our own bodies to explore connection and disconnection and the response-abilities which means 'we' can never really let go. It also re/introduces Ubuntu as a way of acknowledging just how connected 'we' are to life. Come and connect and weave your story into to an emergent whole/some/ness.

Session 13
Restorative Yoga
Zaida Amaral (Brazil)
22:15 - 22:45 UTC

Let's imagine and connect with what's important in this life!
What will the world I want to live in look like in the future?
Every year, we start and end the Collab Youth Festival with a common dynamic for all participants. An opening practice that brings some triggering proposals for the young people to reflect on and allow themselves to choose experiences throughout the festival that are aligned with what drives them, with their interests and needs to learn about regeneration, community living, silence and purpose.
For this session, I'm bringing the vision meditation guide, so that the participants spread across this beautiful Blue Planet, united and connected by the principles of the Transition Movement, can meditate collectively, starting from the inside out to build the vision of the world they want to build collectively, whether live or asynchronous, I invite you to silence, lightness, surrender and creativity. After all, if it's not light and fun, it's not sustainable!

ABOUT THE SESSION:
ANCESTRAL PRACTICE FOR THE WEAVING OF THE WORD. El mambeadero es una práctica social ancestral donde se comparten las medicinas del Mambe (mamá Coca) y el Ambil (padre Tabaco) reuniendonos en un ritual alrededor del fuego y convirtiendonos en canales paraque el territorio hable a través de nosotros, volviendonos de nuevo uno con la Naturaleza. Es en las «Casas de Buen Pensamiento» o Malokas, construidas en "minga" (trabajo colectivo), donde la tribu se reúne para compartir sus cosechas del día, hacer preguntas, tomar decisiones colectivas, pedir apoyo, profundizar los lazos, compartir gratitud, historias, música, danza y organizarnos en acciones para el día siguiente. Todas las generaciones nos reunimos: los niños y niñas para emanar alegría, esperanza y motivación con su presencia divina, las abuelas y abuelos compartan sus experiencias, y las mujeres y los hombres habilitamos y sostenemos los espacios con belleza, abundancia y cuidado.
Cada detalle que sucede durante el círculo está hablando, recibiendo la guía de los espíritus de la naturaleza y contándonos una historia, mostrando una perspectiva y revelando el Misterio que siempre abre nuevas páginas del gran libro de conocimiento que una casa ancestral representa.
Esta es una práctica recuperada a través de la memoria que las naciones indígenas de la Amazonia entre Colombia, Perú y Brasil.
Esta sesión será e Español y Portugués, sin interpretación simultánea, para cuidar la intimidad del espacio. This session is in Spanish and Portuguese.

Join us in this beautiful co-creation of energy and intention. Whether you're stepping into Transition work for the first time or have been engaged for years, your presence matters. Help us spread the word and invite others to take part in this meaningful day. We can't wait to share this space with you!
As a global movement, we are committed to language justice and making this event as accessible as possible. We would love to offer interpretation for sessions in different languages, but to do this, we need your help! If there are sessions that you believe would be valuable for people in your language group (perhaps ask your hub or members of your Transition groups), and if someone is willing to serve as a language interpreter for these sessions, we would be happy to coordinate and enable this to happen. So many languages are spoken in our movement, and we want to do our best to support and increase language accessibility for all.
There are also fringe events planned before and after the Day. Stay tuned for for more - we will announce them soon on our channels!
In gratitude and excitement,
Practising Transition team
