Whether you live in a city, small town, or an apartment building, being connected with your neighbors is a longing familiar to many of us. No matter if you want to be part of a community garden or have a neighborhood game night, speaking with your neighbors is literally the first step towards whatever vision you aspire to for your community.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• To see that it’s normal to be nervous about talking with neighbors who you don’t know yet, and how to take action anyway.

• 4 guidelines for taking simple, creative steps to talk with your neighbors.

• To connect with people like you who are taking action in their community.

This online workshop is for you if…

• You are an activist and you want to see that your work for social change has a tangible impact on people where you live.

• You have ideas about how to contribute to a lively community in your neighborhood, but you haven’t made much progress yet.

• You want to experience the joy and sense of resilience that comes from belonging to a healthy community.

If this describes you, sharing your ideas with neighbors and asking them to join you is the next step! But let’s be real – talking to neighbors you don’t know yet can be uncomfortable, and real challenges can get in the way.

We’ll support you to see how you can nevertheless move forward and maybe even have a good time with it. 😉
