Threads
Adena is a network for weaving together several threads of research, community, and action:
- a "networking organization" providing a venue for organizations and individuals to connect and collaborate.
- a "community-based research institute," pursuing issues and inquiries which emerge from and inform the work of creating sustainable communities.
- a "storyteller's collaborative" to gather and share those ways in which individuals, communities, businesses, researchers and others are learning in the course of building sustainability.
