The next stage of human economy will parallel what we are beginning to understand about nature. It will call forth the gifts of each of us; it will emphasize cooperation over competition; it will encourage circulation over hoarding; and it will be cyclical, not linear. Money may not disappear anytime soon, but it will serve a diminished role even as it takes on more of the properties of the gift. The economy will shrink, and our lives will grow.

~ Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry

In what is so often a solitary vocation, writing with others can be deeply empowering and connecting. And when we unite to encourage ourselves and our readers to know, deep in our bones, that another world is still possible, we are changing the future for ourselves and our world. 

So why not give yourself the gift of this writing weekend, connecting with your own heart and the hearts of others, as we gather to support, inspire and uplift each other to embrace the challenges of our times?
