One of the primary ways Merlin brings value to the Helena community is by offering unique opportunities that pull diverse folks together to talk about stuff that otherwise wouldn’t be talked about. As an urban-design geek, a rare species hereabouts, I really appreciated the chance to lead a philosophy walk for Merlin last year. I found the experience to be positive in almost every way and I want to see more such events, regardless of the topics discussed.
