The peace economy is about connection and community engagement.That we should not get caught in the “folly of fretting”. “Everything is about action because if we don't act, we let the banality and the brutality of it undermine our capacity to act.”The peace economy examples of sharing and abundance found in supporting homeless youth in Venice Beach and creating land trusts for commons to reemerge. That we should ask, “How do we use our wild imaginations together to create something absolutely fresh and new? What am I doing today to create the conditions conducive for life?”Resources21 ways to divest from a war economySafe Place for Youth (SPY)Lead with LandTwo Rivers FarmsGreenhorns (see also episode 18 https://www.resilience.org/stories/2020-10-13/what-could-possibly-go-right-episode-18-severine-von-tscharner-fleming/ )Soul Fire FarmConnect with Jodie EvansWebsite // Facebook // TwitterFollow WCPGRFacebook // Twitter // InstagramJoin our Patreon Community to receive bonus conversations with guests and "backstage" conversations between Vicki and other podcast hosts.Learn more: https://bit.ly/wcpgr-resSupport the show (https://www.resilience.org/what-could-possibly-go-right-podcast-vicki-robin/supportthepodcast/)
