How would you leave a mark on place?

We are building something new — transforming the way disciplines collaborate to reconnect to place. We are always open to connecting with aligned artists, craftspeople, designers, and beyond. Place is rediscovered by a diversity of disciplines.

Be a part of the Unfolding.

“For humans to have a responsible relationship to the world, they must imagine their places in it.

To have a place, to live and belong in a place, to live from a place without destroying it, we must imagine it.

By imagination we see it illuminated by its own unique character and by our love for it. By imagination we recognize with sympathy the fellow members, human and nonhuman, with whom we share our place. By that local experience we see the need to grant a sort of preemptive sympathy to all the fellow members, the neighbors, with whom we share the world. As imagination enables sympathy, sympathy enables affection. And in affection we find the possibility of a neighborly, kind, and conserving economy.”
