What's in the Name

Refining is an establishment whereby something is purified or perfected.  The Oxford English Dictionary contends a refinery makes things "more fine, elegant or polished".  It also includes the process of "making distinctions in thought or language."

The Refinery is here to:
  • Slough off the ragged edges of the past; clean up concepts to meet modern needs and aesthetics
  • Recycle gently used objects into creative projects
  • Challenge thinking about cheap mega-store purchases and encourage time consuming but honest practices individuals can be proud of
  • Encourage thought in the seemingly mundane day-to-day living
  • Be intentional
  • Explore the benefits of discipline
  • Provide information to C.Y.A. in case all hell breaks loose (you never know)
Life is an adventure not to be controlled by exterior circumstances, forces, or marketers.  Grab onto it and push life into a full blown experience.  The Refinery is here for its elegant mission: helping each reader and contributor identify the simple daily changes that make her/him a freer, truer, purer individual.  That's distinction of character.  That's what's in the name.
