Rob Hopkins of the Transition Town movement, has explored the depths of our imagination and creativity.  Our society is a dis-imagination machine.  But we can reverse it. Rob Hopkins, author of 'From What Is to What If?', offers an answer.   In this podcast, we explore the ways that all of us could combine to create a new future - ways to recharge and restart and give space to our imaginations.  Rob offers a vision of a future and actual examples of change happening now from the Civic Imagination Office in Bologna, with its pacts of actually doing things, that has inspired other towns in the UK to do the same, to the Doughnut Economics model and the ways people engage to make a difference. Here, we have  a wealth of radically transformative ideas that we can engage with on a daily basis to transform ourselves, our communities and our planet.

But actually, I'm sort of feeling that in the last six months, the furthest I've been is Totnes.
