| Our
intention
Right now, our intention is to build a
cohesive on-going group, where we can learn together to:
- Communicate authentically with respect and
honesty
- Build trust and share more of ourselves
(including the shadowy bits)
- Have an awareness of the group's
process
- Share a deeper intimacy and connection
- Fight gracefully when difficult issues
arise
- Celebrate our different gifts and ways of
doing things
We feel that a group that can commit to doing
this successfully is the best possible basis for an intentional community.
It is our intention to use the group process model called 'community
building' as a structure for this work and for some of our initial
meetings to benefit from an external facilitator.
It would be our intention that authentic
communication and regular sharings would be a central part of life in our
planned intentional community.
It is also vital that when the community
enters the shared residential phase, that we all have a commitment to
environmental awareness and action - so we can live as lightly and sustainably as
possible.
