I read an article in franciscan (the newsletter of the Anglican Society of Saint Francis) that reminded of his calling to ‘rebuild my oikus - my house.’ St Francis understood this to mean the church community; but the author of the article, Pamela Wood, suggests that in our time it is a call to rebuild the home that is our planet. She writes: ”It requires us to align our spiritual practice and daily habits with those of right relationship with the earth.”

At Reshapers, we are trying to redeem our relationship with the earth in every aspect of our daily lives. That is why this site draws on our home life, our ethics and beliefs as well as our business and services. While there are boundaries to the working role,  my identity, values and habits remain constant and should be consistent whatever role I am in.

We are also big supporters of the simple, practical solutions that work in daily living; and that small steps can build to epic journeys. Shortly we will start a new set of pages that share some of the small steps that work for us in the hope they are useful for others. Like St Francis, we believe we can only change this world together; we do hope that you will add your own suggestions and expriences to enrich ours.
