"Better a nearby neighbor than far away a brother"
The old proverb recognizes that building a trustful relationship with those living close to you is even more important than with a distant relative. Yet, in our urban life today, how many of us truly know the people living right next door? With the rise of commercialism grows a culture of isolation, where individuals have become disconnected from their immediate surroundings. This disconnect, in turn, exacerbates the feeling of loneliness and erodes the fabric of mutual support.
Beyond neighborhoods, the sense of community is fading in many different contexts. Consequently, we now find it increasingly challenging to make genuine connections with people around us. Then how can we collaborate to overcome shared challenges and build a more meaningful life?

By cultivating spaces for collective wisdom, practitioners can build strong communities, make informed decisions, and work together towards shared goals. In such environments, belonging thrives, and the power of the collective is unleashed.
