Dear John, Thank you to all those who joined us for the Local Peace Economy meeting on Wednesday night! We are grateful to have had the time to reground in what the local peace economy is all about and why we do this work in this moment of polycrisis. We especially loved hearing about what gifts you can offer to your community—the gifts that the war economy tries to hide and devalue. As you move through the next two weeks, continue to return to the reflection questions from last night: What are three resources you have that are NOT money? Choose one of the three resources. What is the quality of the flow of that resource? What’s the energy around the possibility of sharing that resource? (e.g., Is it blocked? Is there a feeling of stinginess, protection, or hesitance? Is it free flowing? etc.) Does the flow of that resource, as it is right now, currently serve the future you want to create and live in? If not, what needs to shift for you to be able to offer that resource in a way that better aligns with that future? As you return to these questions over time, what does your life reveal to you about how you already bring your gifts to community or how you can bring your gifts to community in new ways? If you want to revisit the content from the meeting, or if you weren’t able to join us, you can watch the recording of this week's call. If you want to deepen your reflection about your gifts and resources, you can find additional prompts beginning on page 117 of The Local Peace Economy Workbook. We'd love to hear what you're learning before our next call! You can share about your experience with our local peace economy listserv.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, October 23th at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET. We're excited to welcome a special guest who has dedicated decades of her life to cultivating the peace economy. We hope to see you there! If you want to deepen into your peace economy learning with others beyond our bi-weekly calls, we recommend an upcoming offering from our friend Alixa García: A Course on the Imaginal: Cultivating the Visionary Self. Explore your relationship with grief, creativity, and the earth as you "awaken the imaginal within" in community with people creating a more beautiful future! Links and resources shared during the call:

If you have an idea for a local peace economy project and would like specific support bringing it to life, reach out to Emily at [email protected] to set up a time to talk! We look forward to seeing you on October 23rd! With care, Jodie and Emily P.S. Jodie is sharing The Local Peace Economy Workbook and the peace economy website on a book tour!
