What's In Our Way? Goodenough Community Summer Gathering ☀️

What’s In Our Way? Forging Pathways to Regenerative Community Goodenough Community Summer Gathering, June 9 – 14 Join us for 5 days of discovering and nurturing individual and collective strength, compassion, and skills while staying in joyful relationship, even during difficult times. Through immersive learning, play, and warm connection, we’ll create a space that is both safe and conducive to growth, where we can grapple with challenges to staying resourced, creative and connected as individuals and as builders of regenerative organizations and communities. What is this event about? “What’s in the way?” is more complex than it looks. Yes, obstacles to fulfillment of community purpose may have to do with interpersonal dynamics. But they may also be affected by: Our relationships with ourselves Our interpersonal relationships Value systems, power systems or reward systems we swim in, often without much awareness of their influence Beyond-human influences such as lineages, shared myths, and the energies of our living world “What’s in the way?” is an essential question to revealing what constrains our ability to collaborate and generate, and points us to the skills we need to: Create relationships of integrity with ourselves, each other and the world around us Build our individual capacity to help the communities and organizations we’re part of to better fulfill their purpose in the world This June we’ll dive deep into developing these skills with a truly master guide.
