Join our CamdenCAN Community reading group focused on creating a thriving and resilient community.

We kicked off our discussion with a screening on Jan 28 of InTransition 2.0, an inspiring story of many communities around the world doing just that.

We are reading Toby Hemenway’s The Permaculture City (free online). Haven’t read it, come and learn from the group of us who have read it.

As Camden faces the challenge of building a thriving bioregion, CamdenCAN serves as a hub for action. Their monthly Camden Talks Climate series features Belfast-based director Jim Merkel and his award-winning film, Saving Walden’s World.

Fresh from a robust festival circuit, the film offers global insights and explores rarely seen thriving communities like Cuba, Kerala, India and Slovenia.

A free screening, co-hosted by CamdenCAN and the Camden Public Library.

"I commend you for your continuing attention to Climate Action Now... you heal ourselves in our divided country and world. Camden can show the way. I am new to Maine and hope that Camden's lead in thinking about climate will inspire neighboring towns to join in on this discussion."
