What to expect
Drawing on both 3,000 years of history and his personal experience, Charles Vogl lays out seven time-tested principles for developing connected communities that last. These include: Boundary: the boundary between members and outsiders; Initiation: the activities that mark a new member; Rituals: the things we do that have meaning; Temple: a place set aside to find our community; Stories: what we share that allows others and ourselves to know our values; Symbols: the things that represent ideas that are important to us; and Inner Rings: a path to growth as we participate.
With hands-on tools for applying these principles to any group—formal or informal, mission driven or social, physical or virtual—this book will guide you in your journey to become a community builder that brings people together.
