After two years meeting with different communities in the US, psychologist Lisa Kentgen identified 6 key traits of vibrant, healthy communities that we can all apply to our own lives and networks: Commitment to care, acceptance, diversity, skillful conflict resolution, bonding rituals, and hospitality. Each chapter focuses on one of these traits, highlighting a particular community as a case study of how it can be put into practice. Throughout the book, you’ll reflect: How can we cultivate these traits of vibrant community in our own lives? How can we create a climate of true inclusivity, one where our differences both challenge and strengthen us? This book will inspire you to make the transformative leap from “me” to “we,” creating communal, loving spaces in which to connect--and thrive--together.
