Join us on September 11th for our next Local Peace Economy call!

<[link removed]>RSVP Now! <[link removed]>

Dear John,

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

We had so much fun playfully connecting with our imagination with you. Jodie's reflections reminded us to find our edges—because, just like in the natural world, that's where life happens. The war economy tries to keep us inside a box, inside rigid binaries. Our imagination is what allows us to move beyond the rigidity imposed on us into something new. How can you playfully explore moving beyond your edges and boundaries over the next two weeks?

If you want to revisit the content from the meeting, or if you weren’t able to join us, you canwatch the recording <[link removed]>of last night's call.

You can also dive deeper into the pivot "from limitation to imagination"here <[link removed]>.

Our next meeting will be Wednesday, <[link removed]> September 11th at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET. We look forward to hearing what you learned at your boundaries with a special guest who has been growing their local peace economy!

there is an edge (ode to radical imagination)
by adrienne maree brown

There is an edge
Beyond which we cannot grasp the scale
Of our universe.
That border,
That outer boundary
Is imagination.
The only known edge of existence
The only one we can prove by universal experience –

We can imagine so much!
We can only imagine so much.

If perhaps it is a function of our collective minds
A dream of our endless nights
Then there will be abundance so long as we can imagine it –
Abundance on earth
If we can imagine it
Or abundance of earths
A sphere for every tribe
And every combination.
And to have it all
All we need is to remember
there is an edge
And grow our dreams beyond it.
