Bonding Harbor: The first step in building community is to identify some cohesiveness and a very low stakes sense of contributing to the collective.

Opening Up Beach: When we share low risk or non threatening stuff about ourselves and our lives and feel like we are received, considered and valued our sense of safety increases.

Healing Springs: when there is hurt or harm, the way we show up for each other matters. Repair, amends and recovery are vital on the journey to deeper joy.

Forest of Affirmation: When we value other's experiences, witness their growth and support them in their tender moments our trustworthiness increases.

Stretching River: Trials, problem-solving opportunities and challenges can all bring a group closer to each other.
