Dimi, Marco and I joined a rice harvest activity yesterday that Patti invited us to.
Afterwards we had a chance to sit and hear a lot about organic farms in Tainan and Patti's own dreams for helping folks link up with wisdom and resources around Tainan / Taiwan. We plan to keep this conversation rolling. Thanks!

Members bring their resources, their knowledge, their skills, their whole selves, the polished bits and the raw, to the table, to the game, to the adventure. We build, we create, we play, we heal. Build, create, play, heal what, you ask. Whatever each of us choose to take responsibility for.
