"ReInhabiting the Village: Co-Creating our Future" is a 352-page graphically rich, full-color, soft-cover book showcasing the work of 12 Visionary Artists and over 60 Contributing Authors featuring "Voices from the Village" sharing their experience, best practices, strategies, and resources to empower communities through practical wisdom and inspiring perspectives.

​This is one of those lush books that comes around every few decades. It has such a depth that it will take weeks if not months to absorb it to any real depth. Fortunately, you can pick the theme closest to your heart and dig in as deep as you want. This book is not the answer, it is a springboard to go higher than ever before. With inspirational writing and introductions to what others are doing elsewhere, this is the first step towards the healing and wholeness all are seeking. There is much wisdom from many different corners of our world.
I give this book 5 STARS of 5!
