In This Place 2023 season's theme, “Wait, what’s going on?'' is designed to help us to remember the work, determination and social imagination required to bring the issues of our society’s most dishonored contributors into the forefront of the media, demanding their due respect. We believe that such willpower and creativity is required as we usher in a new wave of thought and culture with restorative economics at the center of these imaginings.

Our March theme “Wait, we need to fast to slow down?” is asking us to take the time required to adjust our thinking to create lives that decenter capitalistic ideals. Can we find time to fast from constant busyness and consumption? How can revisiting the stories of our elders help us to remember how practical it is to live more subsistent lives? Subsistence is developing skills to sustain you and your family’s fundamental needs. Is there value in thinking of ways to live a service-filled life with the mutual support of community and less stress? What do our community groups look like with a national trend of distancing from traditional church groups? How do we build and maintain divinely connected community?
