Ep 233 - Best of Spiritual Grit - Cultivating discernment when connecting with community

Since the quarantine years, many of us have been hungry for community. We've been longing for real connection. But how badly do we want it? At what cost?

Not all communities are created equal. Not all communities are built with your best interest in mind. Are we willing to compromise who we are in order to feel like we belong somewhere?

During this time of jen-0cide of Pali-stin-ians, it's becoming harder to find communities of care and support. It's on us to create them and communicate that it's a safe place. Tune in to hear my experience of a community that suddenly became unsafe for me and how we might build the safe community that we need.
