Dark Mountain update

Last year I asked if it was time to go up the Dark Mountain - see here - my views haven't changed from that but the urgency for action has not diminished and we've seen this Government fail us on key issues.

Anyway below are two links to articles about the recent Dark Mountain festival. I liked the quote in the second article: “Transition relies on consensus. Dark Mountain is something you can visit, Transition is something you live”

and

Patrick Andrews quote “If Transition is the village, Dark Mountain is the shaman.”
