About The Art of the Commonplace
Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Are you changing your world? This a group for people who are concerned about their homes and their families, who reject the idea that our value is only in what we consume. This is a group for those who believe that an uncritical acceptance of the consumerist life can lead to fragmentation and alienation. This is a group for those who, every day, in small but significant ways, are changing the way they perceive their world and how they express those changing perspectives to their families and friends.
