WHY AMPERSAND?

Ampersand began with a a couple dreamers and a dream. Amanda and Andy knew they wanted to create something- a hub for the emergence of a way of living that re-imagines human relationship with the earth and each-other. If folks want to buck a culture of consumerism and commodification, there is a lot of learning to do. The task at hand is not just learning about rain catchment, solar ovens and simple living, it’s also about exploring giving, receiving, beauty and healthy communication.

So why is it named Ampersand? The ampersand (&) is the name of the Greek symbol for AND. While the vision began with AmANDa and ANDy, they knew that they would not be doing it alone. Far from it. There would be collaborators AND mentors AND students AND neighbors AND friends who were just as crucial to the project. Ampersand is and invitation to co-create the world we want.
