What is importance of inner transition element in our life...?

Home groups gave members a space to ‘digest’ troubling information, to process it and its implications, with other people as well building strong connections and celebrating successes together. Several groups formed at an evening event run by the group – others started among people who had attended my ‘Skilling Up for Powerdown’ evening class , and were wondering what they could do next. The Home Groups was an idea that would never have occurred to me.
It was one of the key contributors to the later success of Transition Streets, and deeply informed it when we set down to first sketch it out. It’s also something Naomi Klein picked up on at her recent Guardian Live event:
“It’s something that the feminist movement has done well, and a lot of people in the Transition Town movement who are part of this Inner Transition piece of it, come out of the feminist movement, because there’s an understanding that if you’re going to collapse peoples’ world views, you have to stick around to pick up the pieces”.
Mentoring
mentAnother element of Inner Transition that has been very powerful has been the idea of mentoring. As you may have noticed, ‘doing’ Transition can be very exhausting, stressful and draining (as well as exhilarating, inspiring and energising). There are times when a Transition initiative comes under pressure in ways that we simply aren’t prepared or trained for. About 4 essence, a group

The success of the Transition movement may well rest on whether we can create a culture that truly supports a balance between inner and outer change.
What does Inner Transition look and feel like?
Inner Transition is about connection – with ourselves, others and the natural world.
Inner Transition is about creating healthy culture at all levels of scale – our own personal culture, our group culture and the culture within communities, movements, the world and ecosystems more generally.
Inner Transition at a personal level …
Inner Transition is an exploration of the processes and phenomena going on within ourselves that shape how we do Transition. The nature of our relationship with our inner life determines how able we are to make the practical lifestyle, relational and cultural changes needed for Transition – as well bringing precious depth, texture and meaning into our everyday lives.
Inner Transition supports us to choose healthier more resilient, connected and caring ways of being and acting in the world. By liberating us from our habitual and addictive tendencies, our identity politics and cultural conditioning, Inner Transition supports us to experience our inseparability and inter-dependence in the world – and therefore to make choices based on the needs of ourselves, others and the natural world. Through this we become more and more able to bring our head, hands and heart into alignment – making the practical changes needed for Transition to feel so much more easeful.
At the group level …
Inner Transition helps us become aware of the roles we play in groups and what is needed for healthy collaborative groups. It supports us to understand what it really means to collaborate so that we can transform our groups to be become optimally effective, creative, innovative, nourished and transformative.
