 Greetings!
"Community" is a very important word. We all want it, but it's elusive. We can find the first level of community through bonding experiences with family and friends. But how do we build bridges with others - with people who are not part of our everyday personal networks? In this Network Update, we learn about several community projects that are reaching out - often with surprising results.
Enjoy the stories, and use the button below to pass the newsletter along to friends.

Redefining Community
 NIELS VON MEYENFELDT lives in Creekside Commons in Courtenay. ( Photo Gallery). This is an inclusive and sharing community of thirty-six families making conscious choices about how to live with each other in an ecologically and socially responsible manner. Niels, along with other local members, has periodically hosted evenings introducing anthroposophy and the arts to community members. The faculty of the nearby Saltwater School includes several graduates of the Rudolf Steiner Centre in Thornhill.

Three Monday evening conversations in N. Vancouver, sparked by the words and work of Rudolf Steiner:
November 11, 25,
and December 9.
Report on the November 11 Conversation, by Philip Thatcher:
...We worked through conversation out of the sentence for the evening and then Susan introduced a group artistic activity with coloured crayon that gave a process for picturing possible interaction between the spirit of untruth and the spirit of truth...It was a fine confirmation of the kind of interaction we had hoping these three evenings would make possible.

The Motto Of
Social Ethics
It is only wholesome when
In the mirror of the Human Soul
the whole community takes shape
and in the community
lives the strength of individual soul
