The Social Competence Garden

A 3-month masterclass for intentional communities at the edge of evolution

Why this Masterclass?

Most communities don’t fail because of money, vision or resources.

They fail because the social soil is not fertile enough to support them.

This 3-month masterclass is an invitation for pioneers – people who already live in intentional communities, housing projects or alternative forms of living – and who know both the beauty and the challenge of collective living.

Together we cultivate the Social Competence Garden: the soil in which trust, clarity and authentic leadership can take root so that your community can flourish as a living organism.

What you will experience

• Recognize and transform survival strategies that block true connection.

• Turning conflict into fertile ground for trust and opportunity.

• Train radical responsibility and conscious feelings as daily resources.

• Empower each person to take the lead as a space holder for liveliness.

• Co-create a living map for the next stage of your community’s development.

This is not about better management.

It’s about being the fertile garden in which your collective life can blossom.
