Community Weaving Framework

notion image
The Community Weaving Framework is an invitation to explore a question together:

How can we weave healthy communities?

We hope this framework will provide shared language for community weavers, network builders and anyone bringing people together around a shared purpose. May it provide a spark for us to (re)learn what it takes to weave healthy communities and strengthen the relational webs across our shared home Earth.
A warm welcome
Erin Dixon, Fabian Pfortmüller, Michel Bachmann & Sita Magnuson
