I love how you open this article - to frame the larger movement of coming together, and then to state the part you are playing within that field. Love this!

I also notice my own part in the ending statement of focus: "what we want to do is create fields within every sector or institution focused on strengthening connection and facilitate learning across these sectors and institutions" - at VillageCo (villageco.org) we are working on the first half of that sentence - strengthening connections - knowing full well many others are working on that second half.

Cheers to the deep transformation and coming together!

I've only read the headline, but I'm so glad the knitting society is back together. All you knitters need each other!

Yes! The knitting society is back together. I was worred they’d disbanded for good.

I stopped reading at the colon. That’s just my policy. A little arbitrary, I suppose, but it sparks joy, like Marie Kondo advised.
