The best hope for a revolutionary transformation to take place to create a world that works for everyone is a worldwide, grassroots revolution of love in action, based in authentic community.

We long to be connected with others in an authentic community. What steps can we take to create authentic communities? Authentic communities welcome new people from all backgrounds. Authentic community does not have a max capacity there is always room for someone else that may need and can offer what your community is up to. Authentic communities collaborate with others. Before change can take place, leaders must recognize the need for intentional collaboration regarding policies, procedures and decisions. Only collaborative leadership can make communities succeed.

However, this is a natural phase as what humankind is attempting to do is create a new habit and this is quite a challenging task. Creating new habits are comparable to rewriting what’s written in your subsconscious. All that stuff that is presently there has been written over time, ions of life and is second nature to you.

With most of our communities fragmented
And at odds within themselves we are called upon to change the existing context of community. Shifting it from one of deficiencies, interest and entitlement to one of possibility, generosity and gifts. In this endeavor questions are more important than answers, which means leadership is not a matter of style or vision but it is about getting the right people together in the right way.
A transformational community creates the environment and context for individuals to evolve, grow and contribute their gifts to creating a world that works for all. The context that leads to creating transformational communities are:
