Hello everyone!

I hope this finds you and yours well. A new book is out that I think all 
communities need to have at least a copy of. I suspect you might want your own 
too.

Instead of typing out all the information on the book page, I will share a 
little here and you can click/tap the link below.

Building Belonging (name of new book by Yana Ludwig is both a practical guide 
and a collective framework for starting intentional community from a whole 
systems approach.

Intentional Communities are uniquely positioned to elevate its creative & 
collective organizing to address the systemic inequalities and disparities we 
face globally.
Many of us have lost community to the culture of hyper-individualism, mobility, 
and competition, and find ourselves longing for deeper human connections. At 
the same time, we are in a moment of cultural reckoning, with racialized 
capitalism, colonialism, and the effects of a profound disconnection from the 
natural world. 

Building Belonging is both a practical guide for how to start a residential  
intentional community and a collective framework for addressing the racial, 
social, ecological and economic disparities affecting all aspects of the living 
experience for humans, land, and its co-inhabitants. It offers an unprecedented 
perspective to creating intentional community that speaks directly to the 
reader who wants collective answers and who sees the deep benefit of community 
living as a key piece to addressing systemic issues. 


Be well you all
