How do we connect regularly?

Healthy communities have a steady heartbeat. People come together regularly to share their gifts and support one another. Over time, healthy communities develop a set of core practices that stoke the fire and help manifest the shared purpose. These recurring practices might include gatherings, rituals, ceremonies or other ways of being, learning and acting together.

Healthy rhythms are rooted in the value we create with and for each other. Every community is made up of tremendous gifts and ideally our practices allow us to regularly express and share them, supported by easily accessible communication channels. The consistency keeps the fire going and supports others in finding their way toward the warmth. Our rhythms are also part of bigger natural cycles, including seasons of bustling activity and seasons of rest.
