Description
Just as no person is an island, no intentional community is an island. ICs are connected to other communities and cooperative groups locally, regionally, nationally, internationally -- whether those connections are actively cultivated or simply present in shared participation in a cooperative experience. Intentional cultivation of those ties -- the fostering of networks -- can make each participant group stronger and more resilient. In Communities' "Networking Communities" issue (Fall 2018, #180), authors share their journeys in exploring and creating networks -- among communitarians, among communities, even among networks of communities and among communities researchers. They discuss the joys and benefits as well as trials and tribulations of organizing networking gatherings, of attempting to address social justice, ecological, and related challenges through collective visioning and action, of working toward an equitable and regenerative future in concert with others, of exploring the edges of cultural evolution, of learning from others' experiences as well as their own. They talk about the potential of further networking to help us create the future we want to see. We hope you'll draw helpful information, inspiration, and insight from their stories. Once again, the issue is available via free/by donation digital download at ic.org/communities.
