Dear John,

​Gathering together in these horrific times is soul and heart nourishing, so we look forward to sharing the nourishment of gathering with you this ​Wednesday, June 4th. Sign up here for the link <[link removed]>. We will gather as a community for a deep dive into what it means to pivot. We are all microcosms of change, but the war economy creates addictions that undermine our agency, blind us to pleasure and joy, stifle our creative energies, and fragment our communities. We are thus orphaned from our birthright as vibrant, alive, powerfully creative beings, and the broken world in which we find ourselves needs us to be fully awake as agents of peace and the flourishing of life. As adrienne maree brown said, "What each of us practices at the scale of our individual lives is what is then possible for us at a large scale.”  This is where the power of the pivot is life changing. 

Join us ​Wednesday, June 4th  <[link removed]>to learn more.We will explore this practice  in depth and find the corners and spaces in our lives where peace economy pivots might help us better navigate the barrage of violence we see around us and across the world and to become more fully embodied in the world of peace being born through us.

As is our habit, we will have breakouts toward the end of the call. Breakouts will not be timed, allowing for extended connections and ample time for conversation.
