What is the Boiled Down Juice?

This blog is a gathering space for questions and conversations at the intersection of sustaining community traditions and positive change and grassroots community action. Thrown into the mix you'll find posts about music, food, and all the other ways humans express the art of daily life.

"Folklore," Zora Neale Hurston once said, "is the boiled down juice of human living." We strive to explore that concept (both the positive and negative aspects) and the roles it can play in sustaining and building community.
