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.

Preach!

Surrounding ourselves with people that call forth the best in us can serve as a hedge against backsliding into unconscious (not mindful) behaviors. Also, loneliness can be just as bad for you as a poor diet
