The Role We Play in the Emerging Values of Community

The past few months the pandemic and recent protest demonstrations have illuminated the importance of community and also where healing and cooperation are needed within our communities. Love, compassion, kindness and cooperation have been sparsely represented in our collective social consciousness for far too long. These transformative qualities of heart need to be more than spiritual ambitions, they need to become our new normal and adopted as practical street sense. In many ways, the pandemic and the demonstrations have inspired us to reach out and care more, be vulnerable about what we’re experiencing, and realize how grateful we are to have each other. Now we’re being challenged to expand this active heart to the wider global community of all people. In our hearts, we know we’re all connected. The hope for the future is to act on this deeper experience of heart connection and realize that if we care, we can all get along and help each other. In this month’s Add Heart Call, we’re focusing on the new emerging values of community and how we all play a role in sustaining active heart and understanding for the whole community to co-create the highest best future for everyone.
