Community

“Healing is impossible in loneliness; it is the opposite of loneliness. Conviviality is healing. To be healed we must come with all the other creatures to the feast of Creation.”
— Wendell Berry

The HWW Community Gospel

  • Surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. Use them to hold you accountable, a hedge against backsliding into unconscious, unhealthy behaviors.

  • Cultivate your personal and professional network like you would tend a vegetable or flower garden, pruning and re-planting as required.

  • Find mentors who can help you grow; make yourself available to apprentices who want to learn from you.

  • Spend more time thinking about the value you bring to your community than the value you get out of it.

  • Make sure your friends and family know how much you love them. Don't keep them guessing.
