Community is a concept we are all involved with and influenced by. Where are you within your communities?
Community
Rejected! So much for belonging in community spirit! I opened with a story about my rejection from a community and we went from there. Barbara, my co-conspirator, made wonderful points about:
- ‘Belonging’ to yourself
- Being present
- Being actively and consciously engaged
We explored several different angles including group ties that can be supportive or not, and also the evolving nature of our lives and therefore the changing nature that will be within our sense of community –> which means honoring your personal balance. It was important for me to share concepts around:
- Appropriate belonging and non-attachment to outcomes
- Matching your needs with the give and take within any community group
- Honoring yourself first with any group in order to maintain perspective
Homework is twofold in observing group dynamics as well as engaging as a community member.
I added a brief update to the end of the audio regarding my rejection.
