I’ve been thinking lately about how to bring people together to form a supportive community and then keep it going. It seems impossible to sustain. If I don’t continue holding space and sending out reminders, the vast majority of people tend to stop coming over time. They say they think it’s wonderful and helpful, but they don’t show up.

I think one of the challenges is that we're all stuck in survival mode. It's like learning to swim while you're already drowning.
