Are you ready to lead the way? Let's shift the worldview, together. <https://postgrowth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=dcc08996cc57fb1c3f5af62ec&id=0b104bc343&e=34e5d8f0fd> Dear PGI Master, It's often comforting to know that many, *many people are working towards a better world*. Especially when feelings of hopelessness and negativity threaten to overwhelm. Here are the Post Growth Institute, we're witnessing the *lasting impact of local projects*, and the ways *small stories ripple out in unexpected directions. *Transformation is a process. By *embodying the lifestyle and values we believe in*, we create a framework for them to spread and grow. That's why, ultimately, leadership is a journey inwards: *A path towards resilience and compassion **that comes full circle* as we gather the strength to affect action. This month, our newsletter includes resources and inspiration to *help you lead by example towards a #postgrowth future* – whether you're steeling yourself to step out and foster change, or already active in your community with a project, nonprofit, or initiative. Our revolutionary Offers and Needs Market (OANM) brings people together to *exchange their passions, skills, and resources*. *Read about Zimbabwe's first OANM* and *find out how to start one in your own community.* Plus, in a newly released book, discover why* it only takes a shift in perspective *to begin building societies that harness our innate capacities for consciousness, caring, and creativity. Thanks for all you do for people and the planet.
