Charter of Compassionate Community

November 8, 2011

Charter of Compassionate Community

In order to be able to build community for midlifers, and transform society, and ourselves we must go:

1.    From me to we;

2.    From the personal to the universal; (including as many possible perspectives)

3.    From the psychological and sociological to the spiritual;

4.    From self-care to service to others;

5.    From answering questions to asking the right questions;

6.    From focusing on problems to possibility;

7.    From law and oversight to social fabric and chosen accountability;

8.    From the corporation and systems to associational life;

9.    From fear, fault, and self-interest to gifts, generosity, and abundance;

10.    From blind greed to deep gratitude;

11.    From mean to meaningful;

12.    And from denial to acceptance of loss, limitation, and death.
