Insight and inspiration in turbulent times.
We are living in a context today in which the physical limits, natural resource constraints, and conditions of overshoot associated with the expansion of the dominant system of production and consumption are becoming increasingly clear.
What would it mean if we created a safe space to express our tensions and concerns about value in all of these social and economic relationships? Let us overthrow the tyranny of valuelessness and discover what we might learn about ourselves on the other side.

They are a tiny packet of genetic information, for nothing more than some warmth, light (usually), and some water, will unfurl in time and produce a plant that will net you so much food in volume, that your return on investment would be astronomical.
Communities can build resilience to climate change within the heart of their neighborhoods through incorporating the settlement house model within climate action plans.
