Residents share their reflections on two and a half months of shared inquiry and conscious co-living at the Life Itself Riverside Hub in Bergerac, France.
Absolutely brilliant collection of reflections here. What Natalia said about how we heal *in* community rather than alone really stuck with me - I stayed at a co-housing setup in Portland for a bit and the differencebetween coordinating hangouts versus just organically running into people throughout the day was huge. There's something about not having to perform or schedule connection that lets the real transformative stuff happen. I dunno if intentional communities are the full answer but they definitely point toward something we've lost.
