Dear John,

Thank you to all those who joined us for the Local Peace Economy meeting last week!

We are grateful to have been able to spend time with you as we talked about mapping and its role in the local peace economy. Thank you all for bringing your collective wisdom to the group, and a special thank you to Macy for taking the time to prepare and share her insights about her experience of mapping her community with us. We left feeling really inspired by all the wisdom she shared. If you want to revisit the content, or if you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the recording of last night’s call (the beginning was not recorded).

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, April 10th at 5:00 PT/8:00 ET.

Before our next meeting, we invite you to make one of the maps suggested during the call - or one that calls to you. Map where you've lived during your life. Map how you spend your time and/or money. Start to engage with the mapping exercises in The Local Peace Economy Workbook (see page 117). Whatever calls to you. The important thing is to start - and follow the spark that speaks to you.

Links shared during the call:

• Mapping the Business of War
• For Calling The Spirit Back From Wandering The Earth In Its Human Feet 9 poem by Joy Harjo
