Peace with Every Purchase: ConsumersForPeace.org
Kudos to Heathcote Earthings‘ wholesaler Northern Sun for including a little card in my recent order:
I don’t have time to post about their site now; Off to change a flat tire on Earthings’ new van before setting up for Common Ground on the Hill music festival. But I will be looking into making these cards available at our Heathcote Earthings booth. You can request copies or download them on ConsumersForPeace.org. Spread the word!

Hey, Beautiful, What’s the Name of Your Car?
A rose by any other name might remind some people of a pickle. Whether it’s a person, a house or the street on which they stand, a name is an opportunity to make a statement. Maybe it’s the screenwriter in me, but I think names are important symbols. I have a reputation for anthropomorphically naming [...]
Kat Kinkade, 1930-2008
What if Twin Oaks and East Wind founder Kat Kinkade had kept a blog? That would be some pure Hippie Chick Diaries! I’m just one of many writers to chronicle the frontier life of Intentional Community. Kat Kinkade’s books are must reads. I just received the following announcement on the passing of this pioneer and [...]
Name That Florescent Fungus
My sweetie John and I were walking the labyrinth at Heathcote when I saw a florescent orange blob downstream on a log. After trip-trapping through much poison ivy we were rewarded with this sight! I had thought maybe a hunter had left a florescent jacket in the woods. But instead we enjoyed marveling at this [...]
International Gem & Jewelry Show: Heathcote Earthings Purchases Reflect New Trends in Agates and Ceramics
I don’t get sucked in anymore. I’m an old hand at this buyer thing and when I attend a trade show for Heathcote Earthings I work from a shopping list, visit only the vendors I plan in advance, stick to a budget and go home.
Yeah, I don’t believe me, either. But I try this [...]
Owning the Rights to “Coexist”
Come on people! You’re handing me website topics on a fair trade, lead free, made in USA pewter platter!
Buying for my store, Heathcote Earthings, I have tried to order buttons and bumper stickers with the slogan, “coexist,” written in letters made of spiritual symbols from around the world. I’ve been told by wholesalers Northern [...]

June 17, 2010: I just received this update from Alex Perlman about this story:
Hi Wren,
I trust life is going great for you!
I don’t know if you made it onto any of the conference calls I did in the last few days. I hope you noticed the invitations. I’ll be updating the http://www.brilliance.org/ site [...]
Harold’s Challenge for a Better Answer to War; Wren’s Answer: Blue Jellyfish and The Line of Other
Harold KornylakJune 30th, 2008 at 11:59 am e
Hi. I really like your website. I noticed the photo of the sign outside your main building “War is not the answer”, but no suggested alternative. So I wondered if it would be more in line with your philosophy to offer what COULD be the answer? Maybe that [...]
Sense of Place: Ravenkeeper’s Playwrights’ Retreat
Greta Fields’ neighbors over the ridge are strip mining. Greta is planting wildflowers. The contrast is palpable as Greta tells me of pressure from the mining company to sell her land. Greta has other plans.
“I thought of calling this place Mine Pony Farm, to honor all the ponies who lived here and died in [...]
