Page for: Transition Tales, Steph Bradley the famous WynnAlice Our Personal Message:
Thank you for visiting the Transition Tales 2010 Quest Fundraising page.
The purpose of Transition is to support community-led responses to peak oil and climate change, building resilience and happiness. Communities in Transition have begun developing new cultural stories that help us imagine and set out towards a future world less dependent on high carbon lifestyles.
The Transition Tales Quest 2010 is helping Transition Communities to create, shape and share these stories.
Any funding raised will support the famous WynnAlice (aka Transition Network's wonderful Steph Bradley) in completing the Quest and should more funds be raised then this will all be donated to the ongoing tradition of Storytelling and exploration of a positive future through the Transition Network and Transition Initiatives
MAKING A DONATION IS SIMPLE Charitygiving.co.uk is operated by The Dove Trust, a charity with over 25 years experience of helping charities and good causes globally, so your donation is safe and secure.
Charity Giving also reclaim gift aid tax on your donation (if you are a UK taxpayer), meaning that your donation is worth around 25% more. They charge a small administration fee which comes out of the Gift Aid bit - but the Transition Network has discovered that this is much less than other fundraising websites, so more money goes to help us in our mission to help Transition Communities.
What are we looking to fund?
£10 will pay for WynnAlice to enjoy a meal comprising good local food and glorious flavours found along the way (WynnAlice will be on the road for 158 days so lets hope she walks off the calories!) £20 will pay for venue hire up to two hours £25 pays for notebooks and postage ...sending creative and colourful missives back to those of us waiting for her safe return £25 pays for electronic communications to keep us informed on the stories as they happen £50 will pay for online mapping helping you to see where WynnAlice is along her route and keep her on the straight and narrow £60 pays for each storytelling event, workshop or talk £100 keeps WynnAlice dry and weatherproof £250 pays for ALL of WynnAlice's sleepspots when she's between communities and host accommodation £500 supports a grand collation of tales into a Storybook that tells the Transition tale of the 2010 Quest.
Please do support the Transition Tales 2010 Quest and thanks again!
We are raising money for Transition Tales - The 2010 Quest:
Would you like to co-create some Transition Tales? WynnAlice aka Transition Network’s Steph Bradley, invites you to join her this spring and summer on a journey around the UK.
A Transition Tale Once, upon our times, in a town that was not too big and not too small, where Rob of Great Renown has settled to share his vision of a transition future, there lived a storyteller called WynnAlice who decided to create a collection of Transition Tales. She would walk out of the town that was not too big and not too small, at around the time of the Spring Equinox, to visit 13 other places, use storytelling to work with the inhabitants to create the tale of their town, village or city, neighbourhood, school, university, or estate, and return home to harvest a book of tales at the time of the Autumn Equinox.
So the wise networker of all networkers Ben White Raven caused it to happen that folk far and wide knew of the journey she would make. And Rob of the Great Renown caused her to be presented with a mysterious non edible blackberry, saying it would come in handy one day. WynnAlice planned to meet the good folk of Scotland for a transition gathering at the Appleby fair at the Summer Solstice and to skirt the border of Wales to share a Lammas feast with Welsh transitioners.
Now to complete this task she had to ask for some help. What she needed were kindly transition hosts around the land to provide a place to rest her head each night, a quiet corner with a table at which she could work, and a storytelling place of local renown in which she could share her craft and co-create a tale of the place. She also caused it to be known that she would eat only that which was local, seasonal, and caused no harm to any. And as news of the journey spread the thirteen kindly hosts gathered folk to greet the storyteller as she entered their region, to help co–create their tale. They gathered those folk along the way who had a story to tell too, And then news got out from whence she would come, on foot, accompanied by companions who shared her love of feet on the ground and a good story. And soon there was a merry band enjoying the peace and quiet of the green lanes that once had linked all our settlements together before the coming of the large heavy noisy metal boxes that now carried goods and people far and wide, and who, in exchange, guzzled oil and spewed out noxious breath.
And as Transition Tales arrived at each of the 13 places, local people made gifts to pay for the hire of the venues. And as Transition Tales left, WynnAlice took with her a gift of the town made by a local craftsperson to present to the winner of the donations raffled at the next place that hosted her. And so it was that the storyteller set out not only to gather the tales of 13 transition places, but also to hear the tales of the herbalists, crafts folk, storytellers young and old that she met along the way. And in doing so, she helped re-open more of the ways that once connected us to our neighbours and our lands Wynn Alice hoped that in the collecting of the tales more people would become storytellers, more tales would be created, and Transition Tales would be told in all the places of the land.
And what happened next would be another tale for another time. If you would like to get involved in the Transition Tales 2010 Quest see Contact Steph at transitiontales@googlemail.com
