Andrea + Jamey Rabold [Radical Reciprocity]. Last month, we began a new element of our Seeds Storyteller event with our sistah, Fatouma. It’s called Radical Reciprocity. It’s rooted in the idea that in this collective, there is plenty…that we can amply care of each other, with ease, when we all join in. How often can we help make someone’s dream a reality? Well, today we can. This family is ready to find some land for their tiny house and have a baby!  Ideas for support? Email Andrea

 

say yes.

…to the extraordinary Jacquie Fedo for a free experience of her life and leadership coaching:

  • a free personal coaching call, or
  • a Seeds Coaching Experience on April 20 or May 2, from 2-3 pm

Explore ways you can gain clarity in your gifts and learn what is holding you back, so you can show up boldly in your purpose with ease and IN-joy. “You. On Purpose.”

Jack. Be curious, kind, open your heart. Aaron + Winter. Become great stewards of self, community and planet. Betty. Spread the word about Color the Camps. Recognize the power that art has on our well-being and the privilege that we have to be creative. Chelsea. Take a role in saving art supplies from landfills, so they have a second life in the hands of a refugee child. Go to your local schools and set up art supply drives for the end of the school year. Head to your favorite restaurants and encourage them to save crayons instead of throwing them away….we can use them! Contact us for support in school drives and talking with restaurants. Jacquie.
