The Weaver's Way

<p><strong><em>Fires floods the rising cost of living and increasing social inequality.</em></strong> In <em>The Weaver's Way</em> Corrina Grace argues that the sense of safety and security that those of us in the West carry with us is nothing more than a dangerous illusion. And the only way forward toward a more certain future is to throw off that illusion rethink our understanding of how change happens and find new tools for social change in the world around us.</p><p><br></p><p>But not just any approach will work. Whether it's in the aftermath of a natural disaster or in the daily lives of those living in marginalized communities around the world it's become clear that the business-as-usual approach to change-change that makes a real difference-isn't sustainable.</p><p> </p><p>Based on Corrina's first-hand experience social impact strategy is most successful when ordinary people are empowered to come together and weave their communities back together. Drawing from those experiences <em>The Weaver's Way</em> provides a blueprint for shaping change that harnesses our instinct for connection and caring. </p><p><br></p><p>Inspired by the intergenerational legacy of Guatemalan women weavers <em>The Weaver's Way</em> calls for us to come together pick up the threads and become Weavers.</p><p><br></p><p>The Weaver's Way proposes that we toss out the traditional changemaker playbook and try a new approach. Instead of providing a prescriptive pattern to follow however the book gives you the basic techniques-the stitches-to create your own pattern. These are the tools for change you can use whether you want to be a changemaker in your immediate community or you're working towards transformative leadership in the formal social entrepreneurship and innovation sector.</p>
