Most communities don’t fail because of content. They fail because of how people feel inside them. And this is where psychology come in. Not in a weird way. In a very practical way. Because every community creates a kind of “state” in people. 👉 Some feel safe to share 👉 Some just observe 👉 Some feel pressure 👉 Some disappear And that’s not random. It’s influenced by things like: – The way we write our posts – The expectations we set (or don’t set) – How we respond to people – How clear the structure is Small things… big impact. For example: If everything feels “too perfect” → people hold back If everything feels chaotic → people get lost If nobody leads → nobody moves What I’ve learned: People engage when it feels easy and safe enough. People engage around topics of interest People engage to share I’m curious: Have you thought about what community feels like for you?

Being a part of the Presencing Institute community since it's very beginning, and have used TheoryU in the design of many gatherings that I have hosted and facilitated. I joined the first of five global gatherings yesterday. They hosted a 90-minute session with over 700 participants weaving together stories, music, breakout conversations, and collective reflection to explore the living connections between regenerative agriculture, human health, and new economic possibilities. I'm sharing a few of the images and phrases that stuck with me: Planting new seeds for new ways From extraction to regeneration Agriculture is culture Native bees are almost extinct Fall in love with the problem Both special guests were touched by a calling and curiosity to do something different with their lives. Despite their fear they allowed themselves to feel into it, to take risks because they had a strong belief in the importance of their ideas, and the impact they could have on people and the planet. They decided to experiment with what they were curious about and each took small steps with purpose, being brave enough to take the next step without having the answers. Christa was activated by soil, farming and community. Zuzanna by creating caring farmer communities. Christa went on to say that she surrendered to the process. Special Guests: Christa Barfield, Zuzanna Zielińska

Hi Everyone 👋 Delighted to be here! I am launching a 12-week gamified climate action program for kids age 6 - 12 called Earth Doctors and I'd love to connect with more people in environmental education and schools. I am new to working with school districts and creating teacher kits etc. Have you ever created these kinds of systems or clubs and have insights to share? 🌏💚

In our next Skill Builder next Tuesday, March 3rd, 8.30am we'll continue our conversation around the THINKING dimension, and I'd like to bring up discernment. There's a lot of information coming at us in these times, and with every newsflash, we have to decide whether we believe it to be true, or complete BS. @Nadene Canning and myself were both recently in Egypt to visit the pyramids - and everything else. I was there in March 2025, where just a week after our visit, two Italian scientists published new research that they had found giant structures underneath the pyramids. Of course we went down the rabbit hole, trying to understand if this could be true or not... Look it up if you're interested in ancient history. But that's just one example. There are new 'truths' coming out every day where our brains (and hearts) need to decide: could this be true? We'd love to discuss this with you next Tuesday - and let's start already in the chat below. Sarah & Nadene
