Belonging: Conversations about rites of passage, meaningful community, and seasonal living

Creating Community in a New Place


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I give you updates from my new life on the farm (here in Hudson Valley, New York) and share both the challenges and joys of renovating an old house.

I share the resources and learnings I have gathered in creating and tending community from the perspective of someone who has just moved to a new place.

Tune in to hear more from me on:

- Living on a farm and renovating an old farmhouse
- Why community is an important value and a vital need
- How transitions in life, such as becoming a parent, can lead to a deeper understanding of the leaderships that calls to us
- How creating community in a new place requires consistent effort and prioritizing low-pressure, low-stakes interactions
- How challenges and moments of rejection can be overcome by resourcing oneself and seeking support
