Public Activities

COVID-19 update: While our action gatherings between nourishment-cycle entrepreneurs and others was succeeding in spreading dynamics in new directions and places globally, during COVID-19 we’ve had to shift to more online engagement, including in activities hosted by others, and to individual rather than collective actions.

We’re seeing that the patterns, data, and stories of social and business enterprises underlying our economic framework often provide future-oriented focus and inspiration during these uncertain times, but that real-time collaboration between action-takers (for strategic action and mutual support) is more difficult. 


Helping spark Nourishment Economies with new community partners is a priority. So is influencing information and financial infrastructure, public policy, and emergence of new talent that fuels these communities and economies.

Nourishn convenes local and global thought-and-action-leaders with each other, via in-person collaborations and online events. Our goal is to stimulate insight and action.
