The Heart and Soul concept is about bringing people together, in a
joyous way, and helping them create a vision for their own community.
What do you love in your community, and what do you want to grow?
The Heart and Soul movement reflects the idea of building a resilient
community in a manner that looks more like a party than a protest
march.
What we've done :
Created "The Chelten Jam
" a monthly accoustic music
jam
Created a "Movie
List " to encourage the viewing of meaningful movies
and to encourage small group activities in the community. Anyone can hold a
movie night, right in their living room. Meet neighbors. Have something
meaningful to talk about ...
