The Community Development curriculum explores the spiritual paradox and temporal relationship flows of being incarnated as a separate individual, while belonging to an undivided Whole full of grace that expresses through each person’s unique individuality. The curriculum focuses this exploration into the living, group energy body of a community, as a gathering of individuals, and as something that grows beyond the sum of the individuals, to a coherent, evolving group consciousness.

At the individual level, making a commitment to contribute to each other consciously, with others who are also consciously committed, creates a rich environment for learning and growth. There is much joy available through that richness, through the connections that spontaneously arise as you come to better know yourself, know others, and be known by others.

When we combine with others in a group we create an energy field fabric far richer and more intricate than a single individual’s field. The group energy field is itself a resource, without anyone doing or saying anything particular, because in that shared field is a wider range of possibility for movement, depth, stillness, focus, and transformation than exists in a single field. The choice of an individual to join and be in a group is an act of creation.

In a learning and development community, members are concerned with their own individual development and with the development of the group body as a collective. You can enhance the synergy by noticing how your growth supports others and noticing the feedback to your development from the growth of others. This noticing or focus of awareness creates a nurturing space that allows more potential to be expressed and more conscious, intentional growth for everyone, through the shared energy field synergies.

Community Development I—Using the Golden Body energy base to stabilize, deepen, and sustain your luminous and creative awareness, explore: listening for what is next in a person’s development; contribution and appreciation; being on behalf of development; and beginning awareness of the community as a nurturing presence and group body.

Community Development II and III will be offered in 2009 and 2010.
