How can we cultivate the traits of a vibrant community in our own lives and what would it look like to prioritize caring and acceptance in our interactions with others? How can we, collectively, create a climate of true inclusivity, one where our differences both challenge and strengthen us?
After having meetings with different communities in the United States over the course of two years, psychologist Lisa Kentgen identified some key traits to vibrant, healthy communities that we can all apply to our own lives and networks: commitment to care, acceptance, diversity, skillful conflict resolution, bonding rituals, and hospitality. In her latest book The Practice of Belonging, Dr. Kentgen explores various communities as case studies of how these traits can be put into practice. Through her research and work, Dr. Kentgen found that with intention and practice, we can transform our social relationships and build communities that appreciate difference, encourage authentic expression, and foster an environment of belonging and mutual care.
Join Shoshana Simons, CIIS professor in Counseling Psychology, for a conversation with Dr. Kentgen that will inspire you to make the transformative leap from "me" to "we," creating communal, loving spaces in which to connect-and thrive-together.
