Everybody loves to live in a community these days.

Locally produced organic food. Sharing circles for emotional safety and support. Creating a small-scale blueprint for a better future society. Having the time of your life with like-minded peers.

What possibly could go wrong?

Well, what about waking up the next morning to find out you married a sociopath? I mean, get real. Which sane person wants to go and live intimately with people they’ve never met?

This thought is very real for me at the moment after a community member freaked out this morning. And it wasn’t his first time.

Honestly, I know somewhere in my heart that the community model is possible. I just haven’t experienced it yet as I envision it.

But there is still hope and time.

These are three community traps you need to be aware of before jumping into the community adventure.

Ideals versus owning your shit

These are the times to stop looking at what’s wrong around you but to start co-creating what is true and real for you from a higher frequency
