“Think of a time a neighbor or a group of strangers showed up for you when you needed it. What made you feel safe enough to accept the help?”

Hi I’m glad to see promptings such as this one. And some cool responses. I love working on poetry and embracing virtue acquisition! As I work multiple jobs with the youth, I feel like I coincide their challenges and am just there to listen.... - johnpaul156...
This is not the usual way of Christian churches. Brian Sanders wrote Microchurches: A Smaller Way. He discussed doing worship, talking over each other's problems, eating meals together - including the Lord's Supper, and working together on some mission as a small group of people... - pacjac...
It still does if you act on it. The media has done its best to tell us USA is bad. But I see a lot of wonderful people. don't watch the news. Just say hi to a few neighbors and friends.
i think it will - we're growing quickly. What commonality are you looking for? Maybe you can post here so others will find you in their searches?

A message I wrote to Joshua Zader about my experience of circling one month before I fell in love with my community in September 2023
Thank you for your response and clarity. I feel heard and considered. I'm enjoying the circling. Witnessing peoples bodies and hearing their impact is a positive experience.... - on“Noospheric bioregioning” — roots down, branches and leaves up. Bioregionality is an important piece of the puzzle, but I have also heard leaders like Joe Brewer argue that culture is only a subset of biology. It isn’t. How else to account for the “networked” aspect which is so clearly happening? How else would I be able to listen to a Joe Brewer podcast when I don’t live in the same bioregion? So better to think of networked bioregioning or “noospheric bioregionality”, imo. Socio-cultural systems are more like “intra-biological” items than mere subsets of, or reducible to, biology.by
I agree. I think noospheric bioregioning is a part of the step towards the concept of network states. what do you notice changes in what you notice, see, think, or act when you use this concept?... I'm in Austin TX so I'm lucky that we have the Alamo Drafthouse, which doesn't do the insane ad thing, and instead has really clever, original content related to whatever movie you're about to watch.... - onMuch better streamlined version of "Beyond Inner Work: Relational Awareness and the Practice of Relateful"by
I enjoyed this paper, Shera. I live and teach in a conscious community at Clear Sky Retreat Center, and recently led a course on Emotional Intelligence and Integral's Emotional Line of Development -- a mix of our mostly-Buddhist teachings, the Emotional Intelligence work of Dan... - lightseeker...
Rhonda Jo, great introduction. There is something deeply meaningful and real in the way you describe family as something lived and chosen, not merely something inherited through DNA. Children don't experience love as a genetic equation.... I’m in. I think this should be an UpTrust group. Does anyone else agree?

It's good reflection -- though I cannot understand the impetus to not marry, not have kids based on the state of the grand environment. Not trying to argue with you with that statement, merely to state my thoughts on the matter, but so long as you can maintain a safe environment... well we have proven we can play ni Ely without threatening, look at the soccer games right now

How many spiritual practitioners do we have here? Would love to hear about how your daily practices and who, if anyone, you follow on social media.
