History
With a desire to support the repurposing of great wealth to tackle issues at the root of systemic problems, Carol Newell invited Marian Moore to join her in launching Play BIG in 2004. Play BIG was inspired by an experiment—ten years in—which activated Carol’s entire portfolio, delivering millions of mission-driven dollars intended to stimulate a regional green-solutions presence and economy in British Columbia. Amazed by how much could be shifted with relatively little cross-sector and regionally focused capital, Carol stepped out of anonymity to share the story, hoping to provide encouragement and support for others to pursue their own paths to boldly activate wealth, and fuel great talent while doing so.
Over time she noticed how hard it can be to implement good intentions and that a map to navigate roadblocks and successes might help. From these experiences ReWeaving Wealth was born and first introduced at Play BIG in 2013. ReWeaving Wealth cards are a nimble process tool designed to help people discern, integrate and mobilize their decisions, creative thinking, and wealth activation.
