Co-creating A Community of Care

Learning to care for ourselves, each other, people beyond our immediate circles and the environment brings richness into life. Starting from the position of caring with and for, rather than gaining more, creates a sense of abundance where everyone can benefit. Seeing the worth in ourselves, others and the environment invites us to walk gently, taking the time to really see. We are open to the wonder of ourselves, people and the world. Possibilities emerge where we can creatively engage to lift ourselves and others. In caring, we are thoughtful and discerning in our thoughts, words and actions. Our inner core grows and we become stronger on the inside. We stand open to the world, seeing abundance and possibility.

God created us to be in relationships and to care. His two greatest commandments of loving God and to love our neighbour as ourselves, invite us to be in relationship with Him and to care for both ourselves and our neighbour equally. In Genesis there is the instruction to have responsibility and in doing so have care for all of creation. Living with care together, sees us co-creating a community of care where people and the environment can flourish.
