Such a beautiful thing! Thank you for organizing all the community building events. More important than ever to join in community with neighbors and strangers that will become new friends!

📢 Introducing our new Sustainability Series!
Starting this August, we’re gathering together monthly for potluck dinners & a movie, and for quiet evenings over a good book.
🍿Potluck & Movie Nights: Every other month, Saturdays at First Parish Church of Norwell. We’ll share a meal and watch a film — classic, animated, documentary, or drama — that broadens how we think about sustainability. ($5/person, in partnership with First Parish’s Climate Justice Team)

📚 Sustainability Book Club: In the months we’re not gathering for a movie, we’re talking through the ideas (and people) shaping how we think about land and community. (Free, RSVP required — space is limited)

Join us for one event. Join us for as many as you can. All are welcome here. 🌱

So cool!

You don't fix a landscape by thinking harder about it.

You restore it. You observe what's actually happening. You remove what doesn't belong. You rebuild what does.

Why aren't we doing this with our lives?

This Autumn Equinox, I'm opening the first-ever Ecology of You™ Group Restoration — a 12-week guided process, six people, ending with a graduation ritual at the Winter Solstice.

Not self-improvement. Restoration.

It’s obvious the grateful gardener would say he’s grateful but for this gratitude is the least of my emotions!
