We aren’t made to go it alone. For effective ecological engagement, for a nourishing spiritual path, and for basic human thriving, community is crucial.

Why, then, can it be so difficult to find or build community around ecological practice? What gets in our way, keeping us siloed even as we might want to connect with others? Conversely, what might inspire us to come together in ways that strengthen our collective response?
