Project: Community
An attempt to explore what it takes to successfully create or run an
intentional community whilst going through the motions of making it reality.
Wow, looks like it is quite an undertaking...did you know that roughly ONLY 10% make it??!!?
That is a damn low number if you ask me.
But if I am being totally honest here, thanks to that number, I will make sure that I do my very best to educate myself on the subject and that is precisely why we are here...
As I start researching, I find myself buried in books and information and notes...gee I get so excited and just throw myself into it like a bloody berserker!
My mind simply wont stop, I sometimes forget to eat, or I get up at night because I really really must write down something or else I might forget. Well you get the picture, it is a little exhausting at times, but what can I tell ya, I do love it.
The thing is, I need structure of some kind, to keep track of my own thoughts, progress and most of all- of the vast information that I am accumulating.
At the same time, I find myself telling interested people about my personal story behind it as much as about the journey itself.
More often than not, talks turn into brainstorming sessions, I ask folks what they think about it all and so their input becomes part of it, you know the more the merrier and all that jazz.
So you see, a blog seems to be the thing to do.
Furthermore, some of this might actually help those who are contemplating the idea of a community with their own decisions. That would be marvellous!
In any case, if you have something you want to share, like your own experience, thoughts, questions or suggestions on the matter,
please make sure to let me know about it here!
Alright, now let us get to it!
