Packing

But why “The Pedlar’s Pack”?

The story goes that after a dream, John Chapman, the pedlar, walked to London to seek his fortune
but instead found the treasure in his own back garden.

The Pedlar’s Pack aims to help us to find “the treasure at home”


What’s in The Pedlar's Pack?

The Pack is a depository;
The Pack is a place for reflections;
The Pack is a place to grow;
The Pack is a work in progress.
