This episode Edward Groody is passing through!
Edward is a personal mentor to me. He’s been a part of the men’s movement working with the poet Robert Bly, he’s been involved in the Community Building movement for over 30 years and even studied under Dr. M Scott Peck, the founder of the Community Building method. Edward works tirelessly to spread the message of Community Building, which is seeing a huge resurgence here in Europe in countries like Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary where he leads workshops. Additionally, Edward is a longtime student of mindfulness and contemplative meditation practices - he even leads sacred poetry meditations.
He has two books coming out later this year: From Chaos to Community: Essential Community Building and Civility Skills, and Sacred Poetry Meditation.
It was a special treat to speak with Edward while I was in New York. We talk about Community Building, spirituality, how the next Buddha will be the sangha, the power of poetry and how there may even exist a kind of cosmic community or, an attractive force which seeks to create relationship and connection out in this seeming sea of chaos.
You can find out more about him and about Community Building and at communitybuilding.com. I hope you'll join a workshop!
