Ep:3 Preparing for Community with Lee Warren

There are many communities out there looking for capable and eager new members to become a part of their project and help build their vision. Today we are going to focus on how you might best approach those communities, how to prepare yourself for community life, and how to find the community that best matches your personal vision. To talk with me about this today is Lee Warren.

Lee Warren is reclaiming wisdom through conscious relating to self, land, and others. She has 25 years of experience with innovative solutions to mutually empowered relationships, land-based food systems, residential community, non-violent communication, and sustainability education. She is the principal and founder of Reclaiming Wisdom and co-founder of SOIL, School of Integrated Living. Lee is a writer, teacher, and activist, with a passion for embodiment practices, rural wisdom, sustainable economics, conscious dying, and community of all kinds.
