September 2025: Rewiring our connection with technology
Hello friends,
This September, we have launched a three-month series called Tech in Transition. We are exploring how to use digital tools in ways that sustain our bodies, nourish our spirits, and support positive transformation in the world. We’re also aligning this series with the launch of our new digital platform, a new ethical digital space designed by TNi and open to people interested and actively participating in the wider change-making and Transition ecosystem.
To celebrate, we’ll be raffling seven copies of the book 'Reclaim Your Mind: Seven Strategies to Use Tech Mindfully' by Jay Vidyarthi. Anyone who joins or posts on the Platform between September and December 2025, will be automatically entered.
We hope those and other offerings this month bring you inspiration, practical tools, and a sense of shared community. Thank you for being with us in these fascinating and strange times!
With love,
The Transition Network international team 🌱

- If you have peeked at this story collector in the past months, but forgot to add your community / activity / project story, September is the super right time for it! - get your friends and neighbours, and all of you share your own take on the commons project. It can be in any language or format (written or audio), through the Sensemaker collector. The more stories we gather, the more patterns emerge. Get the story and the cookies ready, and click here.
