About Valeri Leblanc

the place we occupy, however briefly - has everything to do with what and who we are." Edward S. Casey That's enough reason to focus on PLACE I think. It might be helpful to think about our places not just containers of time and space or as stage sets in which our lives happen. Places are more than that. Places direct the story we participate in and the dance we experience. Places enable our lives to be rich or diminished. Places can enchant and inspire, embrace us, console us. If you have a formal role in a place say in government or tourism or planning or arts & culture or housing or economic development … or if you have a yearning to make a difference in your place, I can say for certain we are walking the same path. If you want to help create a place that is less like everywhere else and more deeply a place which makes your life, the lives of your friends and family better, I can help you with that. PLACE is a primary experience. What an exciting and humbling experience, to have so much shaping power in our hands, in our PLACES. Let’s get started helping you create a better place."The power of place will be remarkable." Aristotle
