The Weaver's Way Book | Corrina Grace

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 many of us in the West carry with us is nothing more than 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.

The Weaver’s way is a must read, I should say a must-travel! It transports you to an inner and outward journey of this complex world we live in, it empowers you through the privilege of meeting, and learning from, wonderful characters, who are in fact true leaders with powerful leadership, humility and vulnerability lessons to share; it exposes you to enlightening practical exercises that will deepen your knowledge of your own soul and will help you re-shape your destiny and impact; Most importantly, it reminds you in a poignant way of how our art is our salvation, how humanity is interconnected and how we can only survive crisis and challenges and make sustainable change as a collective. Thank you Corrina for this masterful, powerful, transformative, and beautiful journey into the Weaver’s Way.

This book is a must read for anyone who is engaged in humanitarian work. Corrina Grace offers you a view of the delicate quality of relationships that connect us and weave our humanity together. In these pages you will get a glimpse of how to turn your privilege and good fortune into positive, workable action and learn to recognize the pitfalls and problems of well-intended endeavors when leadership is a ‘position rather than a disposition.’ Her moving and inspiring stories help us to reflect on our place in the world and how we can move beyond our limitations and make a greater contribution to humanity and the planet. Brilliant, moving, and inspiring.

This is one of the most remarkable, beautiful , practical, and inspiring books on community-based change I've yet to encounter. Everything in here, in the most engaging storytelling voice, embodies my slogan: "there is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." I am grateful that this extraordinary book exists for this time in the world.

Corrina Grace thinks deeply, looks widely, and applies what she learns. Among the things at the core of her approach are finding great value in those on the margins of society; and finding how to share power and decision-making so that all voices are heard.

Corrina Grace uses the metaphor of weaving to take us on a journey of healing and remembrance. When we weave our stories together, we glimpse what is possible not as individuals but as a collective. Each of us plays a part in the warp and the weft. Guiding each other through the knots and the tight places. Her writing repurposes age-old strategies for the healing our world needs today. If you are searching for a book that guides you towards collective leadership, you will find it in the stories in the Weaver's Way.
