Description of Activity

Distribute Taking It Home, noting that you have only scratched the surface and there is much more to learn about creative economic models being tested. Invite everyone to form a circle and join hands. Ask participants to reflect quietly for a moment and then share a word or phrase that describes one insight or takeaway from this workshop. Distribute copies of Singing the Journey and lead the group to Hymn 1017, “Building a New Way.” Extinguish the chalice.
