One path this community will walk

60 ยท The same group, now choosing

Do not try to cover everything. Pick a path that matches who is in the room, and stay with it for a while.

Opening question

Given who we are, and who we are responsible for, which path is ours for the next season?

To hold together

  • Who is not in this room and should be, before we choose?
  • What would 'a small victory' look like in ninety days?
  • Who will accompany the next gatherings, not as expert, but as host?

A practice

Read the three paths below. Each person names a first and a second. The group picks one. Write the next date before you leave.

Principles to sit beside the facts

  • Taking initiative

    Small actions now make an impact now.

  • Cooperation

    Mutual aid without paternalism. Support as equals.

  • Community

    People working together in trust, united by a purpose that serves others.
