HARVEST KAPLANKAYA, CHAPTER IX
COURAGE
KAPLANKAYA, TURKEY
MAY 2025
CHAPTER IX
In May 2025, we gathered in Kaplankaya for Harvest Chapter 9: Courage.
Over five days, we explored what it means to live bravely. Courage not as spectacle, but as quiet integrity, as truth-telling, as devotion. As the willingness to stand alone and to stand together. In a time shaped by division and rapid change, we examined the personal and collective bravery required to speak honestly, create fearlessly, and act with moral clarity.
Chapter 9 showed us that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward with conviction. It is a daily practice, one that asks us to align our voice with our values, and to meet the future with both strength and tenderness.
