What is Sacred Community?
Sacred Community has been around for many years. Talking circles in particular have been and are an integral aspect of earth-based cultures and societies and have developed over the years, continuing to be held in other modern-day communities. It can often be a powerful, challenging and beautiful experience. Circle culture is alive and supported by various groups and cultures around the world. "FCE (Foundation for Community Encouragement) was founded in December 1984 in response to a need for community as perceived by one of the founding members, Dr. M. Scott Peck, author of 'The Road Less Traveled', 'The Different Drum', and 'A World Waiting to Be Born'. Lecturing throughout the country, Dr. Peck found vast numbers of people and organizations expressing a longing for, and a lack of community in their lives. Along with eleven others, Dr. Peck formed the foundation to spread the work of community building as a means to address this deep yearning for authentic human connection."
