Communities #203 is now available https://www.gen-us.net/communities-203-conflict-and-connection/ The stories in Communities #203, Summer 2024, “Conflict and Connection,” explore the gifts as well as the challenges of conflict—the opportunities it offers to deepen our connections, to grow, to learn about ourselves, to bond more strongly in community. Authors describe what happens when conflict is handled well, and when it isn’t; when it’s a sign of community health, and when it’s part of group disintegration. We also look at tools for strengthening group connection in preparation for weathering inevitable disharmony and adversity. (fb)
