Level CG

A goal of every campus or school is to find true “community.” So, what is it? This session will present “community” as a feeling not as a thing – as a set of conditions and expectations that make its members feel included, welcomed, safe, free to be themselves and challenged – to name a few of the benefits. Through a host of interaction exercises, self-explorations and lessons, participants will explore first hand the communities in their own lives and discuss the desired communities they hope to foster. Many of the notions of M. Scott Peck are offered along with his stage model of community building. “The many gifts of community are felt when proximity is given value.” This session is about living community not just talking about it!
