What If We Nurtured Intention While Being Open to Emergence?

Community Conversations offer a regular space for you to discuss what is important to you, cultivate enduring relationships, and shape new possibilities.

FOR JUST OVER TWO YEARS NOW, we've been hosting 90-minute gatherings every two weeks with an intention to Cultivate Community. We hold steadfastly to a pattern of small-group dialogue, led by carefully crafted questions, followed by light whole-group reflection. Each dialogue round deepens connection and enlivens possibility between and amongst those who participate.

The intention, form, time and date do not change. These can be counted upon and offer a stable, welcoming, and predictable pattern.

This liberates us to be open to what is alive in the moment as we shape the subject for each week's conversation.

A small group of facilitator-hosts and community members meets 30 minutes prior to each call to sense into what is alive in community. We then weave this all together to shape the questions we'll invite you to explore in dialogue with other participants. Our questions are always general enough to invite what is important to you and precise enough to encourage deeper understanding and emerging possibility.

Relying on well-worn practices we host a generative space for connection, conversation, and light collaboration.

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US for the next in our series of conversations to surface new possibilities for community on Friday, May 27, 2022 from 10:00 – 11:30 am EST.

These Community Conversations provide an opportunity for learning about holding conversational space. Please feel welcome to join us 30 minutes before the start to explore how to hold the conversation and remain with us 30 minutes after the call to debrief the conversation.

If you would like to experience:

• Genuine connection with others
• Being heard
• Patience, levity, and laughter
• Warmth, light, smiles
• Curiosity towards and around who each person is
• New, deepening, and healing relationships
• People being at centre of intention and action
• Knowing that we have the solutions in the present
• Asset sharing
• Possibility that galvanizes commitment

Then this call could be for you.

There is no cost to join this call.

We look forward to seeing you Friday, May 27 at 10:00 AM EDT.

If you choose to join us please:

• Arrive several minutes early and ensure your mic and camera are connected and working properly prior to the start time.
• Be open to being present to others
• Come prepared to share your stories and gifts

These commitments will offer us the best chance possible cultivating resonance and community between us.

If you can only attend for part of the call it is far better to join us on time for the beginning and leave early than to arrive after the call has started.
