Just found you in my quest to "break down the walls" at work and increase our internal community spirit. I am a senior manager of this growing, progressive company. We consider relationships to be the key to success - relationships with all employees, customers, shareholders, etc. I would like to learn how to demolish the wall between manufacturing and administration; between finance and manufacturing; between various teams - all composed of great, smart folks!

The entire concept and structure are incredible. I will certainly let friends and colleagues know about it. We've talked about the need for such a place to connect and synergize. The Virtual Room, although yet to visit fully, is the main draw for me.

Our great need, closing the divisive last years of the '90s is to discover a path that can lead us to an understanding of our places of work as places of both sacredness and of sanctuary.

I am fascinated that there are others who are swimming against the tide for what they believe in. Thank you for the opportunity to become part fo the community. It is easy to think you are alone.
One small bone to pick; I should be able to order books directly thru the web site with a credit card.

LIKES & DISLIKES:
I'm tickled pink to find you and have access to soooooo much info. Your authors and friends and some not firends yet. Looking forward to more reading and connections. It takes some time to retrieve your info. Can we speeds things up a bit?
I have been working with a group out of Maine, the Center for Consensual Democracy and will continue efforts there. Working with churches and their lay governing bodies.
I'll keep checking in.
Thanks for your efforts.

Very impressed with what I have seen so far! Keep up the great work!
And, thanks for being willing to share it via this medium. I am a manager in a high-tech company and very interested in the community building ideas you present here. I am also a grad student in the Critical & Creative Thinking dept. at UMass/Boston. My particular area of interest is in the development of communities of dialogue.

I have read most of Mr Scott Peck's books and they have touched in a special kind of way. I am trying to seek a way to acquire the facillitation skills for Community Building and am sourcing for suggestions and pointers from people who know how to go about this.
Thank you and may we have a better world...

Hi! I was so happy to find your sight! I am enrolled in a graduate certificate course for teaching and technology. Our first assignment was to find a websight dedicated to community building. You are just what I was looking for! Thanks!
