7+“From ants to anteaters, bees to beekeepers, community is a fundamental part of our life on the planet. We thrive when we are immersed in it, suffer when deprived of it, and wherever humans go we create it. We define ourselves by our communities: tribe, family, work, clubs, schools, churches and temples, these are who we are.”

12+“The growth of any craft depends on shared practice and honest dialogue among the people who do it. We grow by trial and error, to be sure -- but our willingness to try, and fail, as individuals is severely limited when we are not supported by a community that encourages such risks.”— P.J. Palmer,

author, educator, and activist
