Is Community Right For You?

A 4-Week Online Discernment Journey

Community can be meaningful, beautiful, and deeply challenging.

This offering exists to help you slow down and honestly assess whether community living is aligned for you right now, later, or not at all.

This is not about joining a community.
It is about understanding your capacity, timing, and readiness.

Orientation

Many people feel drawn to community for good reasons — belonging, purpose, shared values, healing.

What most people are not taught is how community actually works over time.

This journey is an invitation to pause, reflect, and tell the truth to yourself — without pressure, urgency, or expectation.

Why This Exists

Most conversations about community focus on:

land

vision

lifestyle

ideals

Very few focus on the together realm:

how conflict shows up

how responsibility is shared

how resentment builds

how timing matters

how nervous systems interact

This is often why communities fail — not because people lack heart, but because they lack preparation and clarity.

Who This Is For

This journey may be a good fit if:

You feel drawn to community but want to be realistic

You’ve been in community before and it didn’t work

You want language for past experiences

You don’t want to repeat patterns of burnout or disappointment

You value honesty over hype

You do not need to already know your answer.
Curiosity and sincerity are enough.


Why This Course Does Suit People Not Interested in Community

The course is not really about joining community.

It’s about:

self-awareness in relationship

capacity and boundaries

how we relate to shared life

clarity around “yes / not yet / no”

Those themes apply to:

families

teams

partnerships

spiritual groups

workplaces

any long-term relational context

Someone can arrive thinking:

“I don’t want to live in community”

…and still leave with:

language for past group experiences

relief from self-blame

clarity about why they prefer autonomy

stronger boundaries and self-trust

That’s not a failure of the course.
That’s a successful outcome.

How the Journey Works

4 live online calls (90 minutes each)

Supporting recorded teachings

Written reflection prompts

Live calls are the heart of the experience.
Everything else exists to support clarity and integration.

The 4-Week Arc

Week 1 — Why Community? (Rhythm & Reality)

We explore why you are drawn to community and how that desire fits with your current life rhythms, energy, and capacity.

Week 2 — Conflict, Nervous System & Gratitude

We look honestly at how you respond to conflict, unmet expectations, and emotional friction in shared spaces.

Week 3 — Work, Money & Leadership

We examine contribution, responsibility, shared resources, and leadership — the most common breaking points in community.

Week 4 — Readiness, Shadow & Integration

We integrate what you’ve learned and clarify your true next step with honesty and self-trust.

What You Will Leave With

By the end of the journey, many participants experience:

relief from confusion or self-blame

language for past community experiences

a grounded YES, NOT YET, or NO

greater trust in their own timing

There is no required outcome.
Clarity is success.

Closing

You are not being asked to commit to a lifestyle, a group, or a belief.

You are invited to pause, reflect, and choose your path with integrity.

Community is not a fantasy to chase.
It is a relationship to reality.
