Folk U is an opportunity to delight in curiosity and grow in community. Hosted by Manda Aufochs Gillespie, each week we dive into a new subject of expertise that hides within one of our neighbours!

At a time when our ideas and differences are being used to bring us further apart, can we as an island of people use these same tools to build us each up?

We are an island blessed with riches of resources, learning, arts, writing, music, wood work, hand work, gardens, scientists, multiple generations, and beauty.

Living on Cortes still provides an opportunity to appreciate that slower kind of learning… The kind for which we have had to work, so let’s get to work together.
