Towards a contemplative community deveopment practice

from Pete's podcast on community development Hosted by Peter Westoby

This episode considers some ideas from a new book Peter is working on, which includes a contemplative practice to complement critical community development. Peter and Rachael mention some of their other work (see the Community Builders Journal below), but focus on the framework that Peter calls: 3Ps + 1 L framework - Pause, Presence, Pivot and Linger (acknowledging Richard Rudd's work). We discuss what these 4 practices enable in such a contemplative practice. As mentioned in the Intro, here's links to The Community Builders Journal: https://practicalactionpublishing.com/book/3116/the-community-builders-journal
