The Art of Community: INITIATION

This Sunday, we continue our fall series on *The Art of Community* with a talk on one of the most human experiences there is — initiation.

Not the elaborate, formal kind. The quiet kind. The moment someone lets you know you belong. A phone call. A pat on the back. An invitation you almost didn't accept.

We all know what it feels like to wonder if we truly belong. This Sunday, we explore what changes when someone makes that answer clear.

We'd love to have you with us.

Coming soon… Watch the gathering here

The opening of the Initiation chapter from The Art of Community by Charles Vogl.

“The Initiation Principle

We all want to know that we're truly accepted into the communities we join. An initiation is any activity that's understood as official recognition and welcome into the community. The initiation helps members understand clearly who's part of the community. It marks the completed journey over the boundary and into the inner ring.”
