What does the word โcommunityโ actually ask of us?
Com: together
Communis: what is shared in common
Communitas: the relationship created through that sharing
Munus: gift, duty, service, obligation
Thereโs something useful in that last part :: community was never meant to be passive
It isnโt only where we go to receive, it asks something of us. Not sameness. Not agreement. Participation. Something exists between us, and by choosing to be part of it, we become partly responsible for what it becomes. Choice.
Community Day was an opportunity to witness that here at WAKE.
So much gratitude to everyone who came through, shared, received, and changed the room by being in it.
Weโre curious about what becomes possible when we keep participating in it, together.
Welcome to WAKE
