HV Coop Mixer

Calling all advocates for local economic development!

Are you passionate about building a more local, self-determined, and community-led economy? Join the HV Coop Summer Mixer on Tuesday, August 19th from 6-9 pm at the GWI Greenhouse!

This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow advocates for economic democracy, social justice, and ecological sustainability in our region. The event will feature brief introductions, open space for networking, and refreshments (feel free to bring an offering to share).

Whether you’re a cooperative developer, entrepreneur, community organizer, or simply interested in making a positive impact, the HV Coop Mixer is for you!

This event is sponsored by Good Work Institute, Co-op Hudson Valley, Mi Oh My Hydroponic Farms Cooperative, Democracy at Work Institute and LIFT Economy.

This is a free event. Registration is required.

Climate Grief Conversations

GWI and Jenny Bates are holding ongoing climate grief conversations. This group will meet on the first Thursdays of the month, (though this one is on the second Thursday) at The Greenhouse 65 St. James St. on the corner of Clinton street and St. James Street in Uptown Kingston. This group is free and open to anyone who has concerns about the climate, about our City of Kingston, and who are stressed about an uncertain future.

“We are picking up distress signals, as living beings on this planet” – Jenny Bates.


Grief is not easily processed alone. The grief felt, consciously or unconsciously regarding the planet is on a scale previously unknown to our species. This series of conversations is an opportunity to share and verbalize what is felt in the context of group that will be facilitated with care, support and a sense of belonging in a confidential and fully respectful manner.


You can listen to Micah and Jenny speak on The Good Work Hour about this topic.
