The Grateful Steps Community
The world is definitely changing lightning fast! We know that and offer Grateful Steps as a cozy, quiet place from where to observe and also move through these changes, books and free Wi-Fi in hand. Grateful Steps is happy to welcome book groups and classes and all other manner of idea sharing. Grateful Steps provides the “ground” for a fascinating number of developing projects including an evolving Hub for local and regional Social Entrepreneurs. A pioneer in the social enterprise economy, using publishing as an instrument for economic development, Grateful Steps sees the value of a double bottom line and opens its doors to anyone with a vision for a better world.Grateful Steps is one of the early social enterprises in Asheville. A business that seeks to benefit community while also achieving a sustainability, Grateful Steps has always valued the vision and creativity of authors. We understand the vital role that writers play in bringing people together through the sharing of ideas and stories, and we have long sought to bring as many of these ideas and stories into print as we can.It fits, then, that Grateful Steps is the first “home” for Asheville’s growing Social Enterprise Hub. A group of local social entrepreneurs and transformational architects gather at Grateful Steps frequently through the week, particularly on Thursday afternoons, to discuss the emergence of the new social enterprise-based economy and social capitalism.
