Envisioning Leadership Structure for Alternate Societies
Today as @Etcetera and I were reviewing our time with the leaders of Awakened Village in NJ and talked about action points, it came up that leadership structure is essential for the community that would drive alt society solutions (which we are pursuing as a contextualization of the Kingdom of God).

Look & See - A Portrait of Wendell Berry (2017 ) — Two Birds Film
Available for Rent or Purchase. LOOK & SEE is a portrait of the world as lensed through the works of farmer, writer and activist Wendell Berry. Filmed across four seasons in and around Henry County, Kentucky.
