In a world where the word “community” is a term thrown around as frequently as your morning coffee order, how do we define genuine connection? More importantly, where can we find it beyond the conventional spaces of the past? In Episode 3 of Connection from Here we are talking about the essential elements of true community.
This week, we’re reflecting on the vast changes in how we perceive and establish community and answer the question: what does genuine community look like?
Topics covered:
- What it means to be in a community and how the perception of community has changed over time.
- While self-care and introspection are vital, true happiness comes from meaningful connections with others.
- There is a difference between interacting with friends and belonging to a community.
- Difficulties people face when trying to find communities that align with their values and interests in the modern world.
In a time of changing landscapes in both physical and digital worlds, genuine communities are beacons of hope. Creating spaces where you can celebrate your true self and enrich others by contributing positively is needed now more than ever. Whether it's through engaging in new activities, joining interest groups, or simply reaching out, take that step towards finding your community.
