Journey into Understanding Community

>

Journey Means Personal Growth

>>

Journey involves understanding where we are at and what’s on the road ahead. 

In many ways, the understanding of Community means we must grow as a person. That means things like understanding the plight of the less fortunate. That means things like preparing for the future and the care of others around us.

Factors we all face (like Climate Change, stressed economies or failing systems) need to be in our sights.

Journey is not just intellectual. It involves the heart.

Journey is not just about making money, building wealth, and personal pleasure. We know that capital providers are looking for an ROI. We know that philanthropists desire projects that aren’t a monetary “black hole” with immature people at the helm.

We know there are practical needs surrounding resourcing Community.

We need to go beyond those (important) factors during Journey.

Where We Are Headed

>>

A Site dedicated to:

All things Community …

… that should be …

… that can be …

…. that will be …

Reimagine-d and Rethink-ed

This portal site (Reimagine – Rethink Community … we call it CR2 for short) explores innovative solutions for core societal issues. We look at important topics like:

  • Affordable Housing
  • Food Supply
  • Land Availability
  • Climate Change

These topics are but samples – our reach is comprehensive. We develop other discussions around topics like Education, Health care and Energy consumption. We dive into Locations and Lifestyles. Our shared existence, future and well-being is in focus.

In our publications, we dive even deeper.

We develop a framework of thinking, an approach, invite discussion, and provide pathways forward. We developed CR2 to encourage discussion through this site and elsewhere (e.g. – via social media, forums, etc.). Internally, we reach into several topical areas.

We see tremendous value in a shared journey and mutual discussion and idea generation.

Enjoy the journey as we share our itinerary and Ports of Call with you!

The Journey Begins Here

Ports of Call

Two people holding a spherical earth with animals on the sphere. Earth Day or equivalent significance - care of the earth.

On planet Earth, we are all on a ship together.

This site discusses life together on this planet. We don’t pull any punches.

We get into the nitty-gritty.

We look at solutions.

This section samples some Ports of Call.

Port of Call: The Have Nots

Housing (?)

Food (?)

A Life (?)

Did we mention off-the-charts rental costs or mortgages?

Or care of the disadvantaged or aging loved ones? The disabled? Illness?

The list expands onward and outward.

  • Broken (or crazy-expensive) health care systems.
  • Obstructive and outdated zoning policies and precedents.
  • NIMBY-on-Steroids.
  • Paralytic policies.
  • Wealth gap impacts on those with less.
  • Unaffordable seniors’ housing.
  • Unaffordable housing for younger people starting out.

There are considerations, appointments, that none of us can avoid.

We all, in our own unique way, get to go to this Port of Call.

Life has appointments we must keep.

Reimagine and Journey

>

In Reimagine My Community, we encourage further reflection on Journey with TWO primary areas:

  • Trek
  • Build

Trek takes you down a road of Re-imagining your vision for Community.

Build is beginning to shift gears and towards a Vision coming to fruition. 

Reimagine works cooperatively with Rethink and this Portal.
