The Active Pause blog/podcast explores creative approaches to being thoughtful, mindful and emotionally attuned. In this episode, Jan Winhall discusses “creating intentional communities.” In this conversation they explore both the underlying reasons for needing to gather in community; and how that harkens back to our family of origin and the many issues that challenge our capacity to sustain connection.
