Powers of Place - www.powersofplace.com

About Powers of Place believes:

• We believe that places are alive.
• We suggest that when human beings be live that, and act in ways that respect and value what places bring, the partnership becomes a powerful force toward great good in the world.
• We have established the Powers of Place Initiative to gather, organize and make visible knowledge, people, organizations and places already already working in ways that demonstrate the power of the partnership and to share what they know with others.
• We are a network of people with diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds brought together by the Fetzer Institute to catalyze a new field of study and practiced based on the premise that right relationship between people and the places where they gather and inhabit offers the potential for transformative action toward what is needed at this moment in history.
• We believe in the powers of place.
