Communication

The rich tapestry of life at Sunward courses with information. Communication and staying in touch is central to sharing our lives and management of the community through a highly participatory process. The most official channel of communication is our Community Meeting for which every member is responsible for the material presented and handed out. We also publicize announcements via assorted email, bulletin boards, and messages in our personal mail cubbies. Several standing committees keep notebooks of their activity available in the Common House for easy access. We facilitate communication with private, community-wide email groups as well as email groups for each active committee . Many members also enjoy having their own, distinctive sunward.org email account. We maintain phone and email and birthday lists for easy access and have a private member's website where many useful community documents are available. A great deal of communication happens casually over the dinner table, chatting on the path, while watching over a group of kids, picking up mail, etc,

“We don't bring forth change by being dissatisfied with things. We step into the beautiful flow of change and creativity by loving things as they are, by noticing what we love and praising and appreciating it, by focusing on what is lovely and life-giving and delightful.” -unknown
