The Nonviolence Sangha: Sacred Community – Creating True Home and Belonging as Leadership – Racheli Zohar

Creating and nurturing a strong community of non-violence, compassion, and spiritual resilience, may be the only way to navigate these times. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that when we have a true home in the community, we can rest and rejuvenate when things are overwhelming, knowing we are spiritually supported to hold strong to the vision and practice of nonviolence. In his words, our next leadership will come from this form of mutual support.

When we have a solid network of emotional and practical support, especially when things get hard or when we wish to accomplish big goals, we can find hope and resilience in the sacred community. But how do we come to have these?
