Welcome to The Gravity Well where we break down heavy ideas into small buckets anyone can handle! Our mission is simple, to set aside our differences and collaborate with others through conversation and process. Together we can face our dilemmas and make the world better for all. In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge we are in Blackfoot Treaty 7 territory and Metis District 5 and 6 lands. We take reconciliACTION by seeking the wisdom of elders and principled individuals who aim to restore water, air, land, life, and community. A healthy living relationship with our homeland and each other is our guide.
