Entering the world of intentional communities often feels like entering a form of utopia, where relationships are equal and injustices are left behind. But over time, reality sets in. Power struggles surface, challenging our conceptions of ourselves and of the people we are in community with. Community doesn’t exempt us from deeply rooted systemic issues; it mirrors them. That’s precisely what makes intentional communities valuable: they are an opportunity for people to practice working through those same inequities and finding new ways of relating on a smaller, more workable scale. However, we need the proper skills to make this happen.
This 1-hour free webinar discusses 5 ways in which power dynamics can arise in community life and how to address them. Course instructor Jahia de Rose will provide an overview of how unhealthy power dynamics connected to deeper systemic issues around equity can crop up in the world of intentional communities . You’ll leave this webinar with an understanding of how equity looks in practice within communities, and how factors like gender, ability, nationality, and race show up surreptitiously in our day-to-day navigation of structural problems in communities .
