"...one of the most remarkable, beautiful , practical, and inspiring books on community-based change I've yet to encounter."
—Margaret Wheatley, author Leadership and the New Science and Who Do We Choose to Be?
Fires, floods, the rising cost of living, and increasing inequality. In The Weaver’s Way, Corrina Grace argues that the sense of safety and security that those of us in the West carry is a dangerous illusion. And the only way forward toward a more certain future is to throw off that illusion, rethink our understanding of how change happens, and find new tools for social change in the world around us.
But not just any approach will work. Whether it’s in the aftermath of a natural disaster or in the daily lives of those living in marginalized communities around the world, it’s become clear that the business-as-usual approach to change—change that makes a real difference—isn’t sustainable. Based on Corrina’s first-hand experience, social impact strategy is most successful when ordinary people are empowered to come together and weave their communities back together.
Drawing from those experiences, The Weaver’s Way provides a blueprint for shaping change that harnesses our deep inner instinct for connection and caring. Inspired by the intergenerational legacy of Guatemalan women weavers, The Weaver’s Way calls for all of us to come together, pick up the threads, and become Weavers.
The Weaver’s Way proposes that we toss out the traditional changemaker playbook and try a new approach. Instead of providing a prescriptive pattern to follow, however, the book gives you the basic techniques—the stitches—to create your own pattern. These are the tools for change you can use whether you want to be a changemaker in your immediate community or you’re working towards transformative leadership in the formal social entrepreneurship and innovation sector.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
