Learning Community
Community building and organizing – I like the thoughts. Thank you Venu for sharing.
In The Different Drum: Community-Making and Peace, Scott Peck
1. Chaos: When people move beyond the inauthenticity of pseudo-community and feel safe enough to present their "shadow" selves. This stage places great demands upon the facilitator for greater leadership and organization, but Peck believes that "organizations are not communities", and this pressure should be resisted.
2. Emptiness: This stage moves beyond the attempts to fix, heal and convert of the chaos stage, when all people become capable of acknowledging their own woundedness and brokenness, common to us all as human beings. Out of this emptiness comes
3. True community: the process of deep respect and true listening for the needs of the other people in this community. This stage Peck believes can only be described as "glory" and reflects a deep yearning in every human soul for compassionate understanding from one's fellows.
I personally think Aarohi is fluctuating between 1nd 2nd stage – We are on our way to make it to the 3rd stage- yes we can do it.
I am learning a lot from this chaos stage – so enjoying this too. I am thankful to this stage.
I am relishing the Emptiness and healing.
I am looking forward to true community.
Thank you all parents for part of this community building.
