What began in 2020 as a handful of art lovers meeting after the Conference for Global Transformation (sponsored by Landmark Worldwide) has grown into a vibrant circle of supporters who meet monthly to share ideas, cheer each other on, and actively shape the future of this work. Their impact was especially clear during my recent trip to Charleston,…
