Some headlines from this month
This week, we are offering you a curated collection of headlines. We try to do some combination of headlines and other resources about once a month, though we don't always make that. One of the reasons that we do this is because there is just so much out there - and it is easy to become overwhelmed! Which is not helpful for regenerative practices! So we are doing some of the curation for you. Here are some recent ones that we thought were valuable. And we want to know from you: what are some of the top news items that you would like us to curate for you?
