THIS Is How To Support Evolving And Emerging Economies!

I founded The Cowry Collective five years ago out of the strong desire to feel limitlessly abundant even when I was feeling the pinch of living a full life while being a new, working mother. I continue the work today - spreading the message of capitalizing on our human currency so we can ALL experience a high quality of life. This is my piece of seeking (economic) justice. I believe in timebanking and I need YOUR support to attend a priceless experience - a Jam! Read below, spread the word and support how you can! With Gratitude, Chinyere I am excited to announce that I have been accepted to attend the Evolving & Emerging Economies Jam and Bioneers National Conference in the Bay Area October 13 - 18, 2015. The Jam is a gathering for three different levels of change: the internal (self), the interpersonal (relationships) and the systemic (the whole). It is NOT a conference, seminar or typical meeting....it is a place for participants to share and reflect on their journeys ...participants come together to share our cultures, our stories, our struggles, to deepen in our understanding of each other and ourselves...we become clearer about our vision and work in the world. The Bioneers Conference is a gathering of over 500 leaders, activists, doers and movers-shakers in the fields of ecology, economy, education, arts, and culture. I am truly humbled and elated to have been chosen to be a part of this experience. Between September 1 and October 1, 2015 I aim to raise $2500 to cover  travel expenses and tuition to attend the EEE Jam.  Your tax-deductible contribution of $5, $10, $25, $50, $100 or more will  be used to strengthen the breadth and reach of The Cowry Collective.  At the Jam I'll make priceless and timely connections while highlighting the great  work we are doing here in St. Louis in a restorative setting. Alternatively,  checks may be made out to The Cowry Collective and mailed to  P.O. Box 18711 / St. Louis, MO 63118.  Please reference ‘EEE Jam.’  Thank you for your consideration and support! I will return to St. Louis  re-energized to continue to build the infrastructure of a timebank I founded  5 years ago!  Read more about the cooperative economic connections I am  forging between St. Louis and the Bay Area!
