Our workshops and events highlight hopeful movements in our financial systems – such as business, employment, investing and banking – that are shifting that system towards benefiting all people and the planet.
WORKSHOPS raise up shifts in our financial systems, and how they are happening in Maine. Together we learn, discuss actions we can take to grow these movements, and reflect on values.
EVENTS offer ways to join with others to explore these topics.
