The Seven Pillars of Community

Описание: Zach gives a talk about the guiding principles of Gingerhill Farm.

They are:
1. COOPERATION
This is the idea of is community right for you and are you right for community? Are you a Cooperative person? Can you collaborate with others? Are you a team player? Can you share?

2. ALTRUISM
is described as doing good onto others with no noticeable benefit or even detriment to oneself. given the choice, don’t we all want to live around people who are nice to one another?

3. INTEGRITY
Integrity goes beyond simply doing no harm towards doing what is right. Of being honest and standing for something. Speaking the truth. About doing as you say. Being accountable.

4. VISION
Introspection is defined as being able to look at one’s emotional and mental processes. This is crucial to any sort of personal growth. But in order to live in community we must move beyond mere introspection and strive for vision, the ability to see outwardly as well. Not just awareness of our own processes, but how our actions affect others. Community with its increased likelihood for interaction is guaranteed to trigger all of our issues. We live in community so that we can get direct and continual feedback from the group about our actions and in this way become better. But first we should make sure that we are up to this level of engagement.

5. PURSUIT OF WELLNESS
Generally, Lifestyle. Habits. What kind of person are you? Do you play video games and drink soda, or do you like to get some sun and go for a walk or a swim? Are your choices life-affirming, or are you a satanic couch potato? This idea of whole-being health, of Wellness, is like a gem composed of seven facets, all of which must be polished in order to sparkle. Seven Facets of Wellness:

6. SERVICE
Seminal to the success of any community. It is the idea that we do our share and always a little more.

7. SILENCE
We touched on how our sounds and energy affect others under the principle of Integrity but thought it worth mentioning separately again. This is because in the context of community, silence is the one commodity that can quickly become rare or even extinct. We mustn't let that happen.

Community can be symbiotic and synergistic. But It can also be toxic.
There are as many types of community out there as there are subgenres of culture. Just do a search online and see. But which one do you want to be a part of? What I have described
above is the community I want for me. A community of thriving collaborators committed to a more blissful and productive life. Who wants to join me?
