Scenario

When intentional communities develop rigid group dynamics

Four of us have been meeting monthly for two years to talk about how to live more intentionally, but we've all gotten comfortable in our roles - I'm always the practical one, Sarah's the spiritual one, Mike asks the hard questions, Janet synthesizes everything. I think we're limiting each other by staying in these boxes.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Even groups formed for growth and exploration can calcify into patterns that limit the very development they were designed to foster.
