 PRACTICES: 
​COMMUNITY

RCND is who and how we gather.
We've gathered first and longest in simple practices of community. 


OVER LUNCH AND IN CIRCLE, EVERY SINGLE MONTH:

We strengthen community by simply "being with." 
We hone compassion and courage by making room for our neighbors' stories.
We nurture space for trust, amidst the realities of healing and harm. 


 EVERY BODY IS WELCOME.

designed to deepen our communal understanding of the values we share
(e.g. respect, belonging, compassion, responsibility). ​
