Who is your community? How does community connect you to what you consider sacred, or facilitate a sacred experience?
What’s that magic feel like, floating around the room, as we share it with others?
How do you imbibe in the elixir of community?
Community can serve as an existential balm, affirming our identities and purpose. In community’s truest form we feel full, connected through shared goals, shared joy, and shared presence.
Theater, movies, music festivals, community gardens, basketball courts, farmers markets, church services, marathons, protests—

How has the movement of access to community being more or mostly online changed your understanding of it in the time of Covid-19? What do you miss most about physical community?

Simply put, how does community shape your understanding of the world around you, and of your self?
