Community… Context in which we feel nurtured,
sustained and stimulated; Where we take ownership and
responsibility for the condition of our shared space;
An interdependent human system given form by the conversations we hold with ourselves
A paradoxical dance where personal aspiration and personal sacrifice embrace
Where love and forgiveness are central themes

Feelings of community are demonstrated in how groups perform, how individuals act towards each other, policies and the physical environment

point must be reinforced by our leadership and relationships

As we move though these unprecedented times it is vital that we connect with the people, conversations and events that align with our values, promote healing and growth, optimize the potential of our interconnectivity and support us to be generative in the face of whatever comes.
