✨️ The magic of potluck experiences:✨️
From a community building point of view, the biggest strength of the potluck dinner experience lies in its simplicity.
Breaking bread is probably the most natural way for us to connect with other human beings. We all have done it since we were born.
“...by coming, all you get is access to an empty room. If no one comes along and creates something, it will stay empty for the duration of the event. Everything is created by all of us. This is an experiment in creative freedom and participation, conceived, built, experienced, and returned by nothing but its participants... we fill it with love and awesomeness. It’s magic, created by our communal effort and imagination.”
Culture of co-creation. Having someone show up to a community, not feeling entitled to anything and expecting to be a full co-creator and active participant makes a huge difference to the community’s culture, scale, the creativity and diversity of its experience and its overall resilience.
We can choose to show up as passive consumers or as active co-creators. Co-creation ideally is one of the community’s core principles or values, and these are present and visible throughout the community experience.
