April 2026: Day of Transition Practise!

[Open in browser here for full content and translated versions]

Dear friends,
As a distributed global movement, touchpoints throughout the year are essential for deepening connection, building solidarity, and sharing the rich learnings emerging across our diverse communities, bridging the local and the global.

The Day of Transition Practise (DoTP), taking place next Friday April 24 2026, is one such moment: a 24-hour gathering designed to welcome participation across time zones, wherever you are. A moment where we show the world that community-led action is essential infrastructure. You are welcome to come to one session or the whole day. The programme includes open cafés for connection throughout the day, interactive workshops (including an imagination session with Filipa Pimentel and Rob Hopkins, and a narrative hacking workshop led by Esther Molina and the Rhizome Fellowship team), as well as panels showcasing inspiring work happening in communities worldwide. This free event is open to all, and we warmly invite you to join us in this shared space of learning, celebration and collective emergence.

The rest of this e-news edition is full of things to get involved with, stories from the movement, and a few opportunities worth knowing about. As always, we'd love to hear what's happening where you are. Meet us at Waves!

With love,
The Transition Network international team 🌱

Psycho-Social Resilience: Nervous System Regulation for Organising and Collective Work

This practice offers a simple, embodied way to understand and navigate stress in these contexts. By recognising the signals in ourselves and in others, we can begin to bring more awareness, choice and shared language to how we respond under pressure.
