This documentary features speakers from the Findhorn Foundation’s 2008 Easter Conference, ‘Positive Energy – Creative Community Responses to Peak Oil and Climate Change’: Joanna Macy, Rob Hopkins, Richard Heinberg, Megan Quinn and Dorothy Maclean. Not forgetting Lesley Quilty’s inimitable ‘Eco-clown’.

It explores the vital importance of community in the 21st century and its role in helping us to create a life-sustaining society.

The film takes an inspiring look at some of the sustainable community solutions that have grown up around the Findhorn Foundation Community in the 1990s and 2000s. It features Earthshare, one of the first Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) box schemes in the UK, as well as the localisation of wind energy, food production, ecological sewage treatment, a Transition Town community garden, car pool and a local currency.

Produced by Lisa Mead and Alex Page in 2009.
