The Importance of Community

"We are called to be strong companions and clear mirrors to one another, to seek those who reflect with compassion and a keen eye how we are doing, whether we seem centered or off course … we need the nourishing company of others to create the circle needed for growth, freedom and healing."

Wayne Muller

Qi is our life-force energy, the aliveness within, but it can also be used to describe an energetic relationship – such as the companionship of friends, partners, and members in our community. Qi is the ever growing and evolving connection between ourselves and the world around us. There is a well of knowledge and experience within us, and we can spend a lifetime discovering those treasures, but it’s when we share what we’ve uncovered with others and connect that we see the exponential power of togetherness.

A warm open heart lays the seeds, the foundation to the bloom of a joyful life. The interaction of being seen and heard, of sharing a laugh, of seeing yourself reflected in someone else’s experience is a healing elixir that soothes and softens your being. It’s like sunshine, it brings new life inside of you. This is the power of community. This is the flow of Qi. This is the love that connects human beings. We are all one heart, one soul, one life.
