Weaving Wise Communities: Exploring how we face our shared problems

In this workshop, we’ll explore how many of the social and environmental challenges we face are shaped by the natural tension between deeply held values within our community. Together, we’ll reflect on the different values we each hold and how those values shape our perspectives. Through this exploration, we’ll begin weaving the wisdom we need to face our local problems with curiosity, empathy, and a bit more nuance.
