Getting Connected

Karen Gimnig

We join cohousing communities because we are looking for connection, but it can take a long time for us to move past "company manners" and begin to feel connected to our neighbors. In this WebChat Karen explains how using mirroring, a part of Imago Dialogue, can help us get connected faster. This, in turn makes our group more stable, our meeting more effective and our conflicts more productive.
