Beyond Money: What Comes Next?

Exploring true wealth, right livelihood, holistic economies, and what we can do next.

Come to our second monthly meeting!

As well as discussing the event topic this month, I would like to hear from people where they would like to hold these events and what kind of format they might be. As of now we are meeting and having discussions. Maybe we could arrange to meet at a local cafe and have a more casual event. Since these events are sstill pretty small, these more casual events could serve as a springboard for more formal events in the future. Just a thought for next time.

Let me know what you are thinking.

Preliminary materials worth checking out before the gathering . . .
