The Skills of Community
In this workshop, we will explore how very different, very individualistic, very
opinionated people can live together in community. What are the critical
elements of creating meaningful relationships when we are so different?
How do we get below the surface? Are there learnable skills to being in
community? We will use many tools from a variety of sources, among them
Access Energy Transformation, brain science, Hakomi, Buddhist thought,
and Imago.
How It Works
We’ll learn and practice the skills in 3 units, each of which builds on the
previous.
I. Understanding the Individual
Before creating community, we must understand our own internal life. In this
unit we gain understanding of the internal factors that will determine our
success in community, and practice the skills of being an individual.
2. Understanding Relationship

understand the toxicity of destructive interaction patterns. Firm skills in
relationship are a pre-requisite of successful community.

community. But there’s a simple secret to it.
