"Humans are social animals" a friend of mine used to say. How right he was I learned today. I never paid much attention about communities around me or if I am part of them or not. I categorized people into groups like friends or collegues, not being aware that these are all communities that also deserve to being build on a solid base. Apart from lots of important information, the exchange in the breakout groups was really nourishing and helped to align with former unknown members of stellst Village Community
