Celebrating the Interconnectedness of Life

Supporting Community

During this Autumn season of gathering, celebrating the harvest, and sharing stories of the day, we are reminded to take care of each other. Creating simple routines of daily self-care, from deep breathing to expressions of gratitude, enables us to spread care out into our communities. 

Modern society tends towards isolation. Even with “social” media, we are isolated in our homes, our bubbles, in our phones, and our minds. Now more than ever, it is important to connect with our communities. Get outside, connect with nature, find a hiking club, a knitting club, a reading group, or a parenting coop, people with similar interests and ideals, values and goals. 

Seek out something that brings people together for conversation and projects. What can a group accomplish that our singular households cannot?


Look to your community for support, look for those who need support.
