Tomorrow is the day and there are just a few spaces left.

If you have been following along this week and something has been pulling you towards Sunday, listen to that feeling.

You do not need to prepare anything.

You do not need to know anyone.

Just bring yourself and see what unfolds in the room.

A Tree of Life reflection

A drawing exercise

A live Offers and Needs Market.

And an open conversation about what community can really look like.

1 more day to go and there is one more person I want to introduce you to before Sunday.

Donnie Maclurcan is the co-founder of the Post Growth Institute and the person who co-created the .

He has taken this process to communities around the world.

I cannot tell you much more than that.

Some things you really do have to experience for yourself. 🤩

Earlier today I told you about the Offers and Needs Market and why I have done the training more than once.

Now I want to introduce you to someone who is bringing something equally moving to Sunday.

Diana Quintana Cataño is a Colombian community educator, artist and organiser shaped by feminist and popular education traditions from Latin America.

She has participated in grassroots organising in Argentina and Colombia around collective memory, land struggles and social justice.

Now based in Scotland, she contributes to Collective Economies and The Commons Initiative, supporting community-led processes around food, care, land stewardship and popular education.

Her work focuses on rebuilding the commons through everyday practices of cooperation, solidarity an collective life.

When I asked Diana what she is bringing to Sunday she said this:

"Tree of life is a way of understanding that our lives are shaped by collective memory, territory, and responsibility to others and not just individual experience.

I bring it here as an invitation to root ourselves in place and relationships, so we can build real trust and communities that are sustained over time, not just temporary connections."

Read that again slowly.

Come as you are with curiosity.
