I’ve been wondering about what it means to be part of a fluid, non-institutionalised group or community. When we started thinking about threshold roughly a year and a half ago we had lots of ideas about what being part of such a group might be, and lots of aspirations. We had lots of good ideas such as no commitment, no leaders, consensus, and numbers should not be a measure of success. However at that point I don’t think any of us had been in such a fragmented or de-centred group before, but now we have.
So I’d like to use my reflective as a reflection on Threshold itself. For example, I’ve been wondering if maybe always being under threat of collapse is inherently part of the nature of a non-institutionalised group? Are our difficulties also our strengths, or can we eliminate difficulties without losing our positive points?
It would be great if you could bring your questions and thoughts on Monday. If you can’t make it, add your comments here:
