Part of the idea of the Portals of Perception project is that conversations can become portals of new possibilities and opportunities. And this leads us, very naturally, into the premise of today: nurturing emergent communities. Join us!

Here we offer an opening practice, which we call Welcoming the Community Within.

Many people all around the planet are sensing that this coming decade, or coming two or three decades, is about some phase of transition. We called this gathering today because we sense that community has a big and important part to play.

So much has been spoken that captures the essence of our humaneness and the extraordinary intuition that’s arising in many of us, each in slightly different ways, but more the same than not. There is something ripening at this time to find new ways of coming together.
