Berkshire community and creative life
How do we find connection in changing times? Hello and thank you for stopping by. I am a writer in the Berkshires, and I feel a rich ecosystem in our stories, in the people who live here, the art and performances, the outdoors and local food ... we make powerful experiences here. I am in a local entrepreneurship program this fall (with EforAll),  and in all this changing time around Covid, people have been telling me they want to connect in ways that feel safe. And so I’d like to learn more about what people want to know and what they want to do. Would you be willing to talk with me for a few minutes?
