Social with Meaning

🌬️Welcome, communicative socialising neighbour!

I am hoping we will collaborate enjoyably toward collectively and individually reviving authentic sincerity, responsible active interest, humane care, compassion, empathy, and friendly, engaged, supportive, open-minded, inclusive and resilient, neighbourly community with integrity and greater purpose in the Greater Toronto Hamilton Area (GTHA) and Niagara regions of Ontario, Canada.

Especially welcome are those needing community acceptance and involvement but as of yet, have not been fortunate in locating their compatible people, tribe, clan or community, and authentic, positively engaged community members, activists, volunteers, communitarians, those with a generous, kind, creative, charitable and/or charitably entrepreneurial spirit, who enjoy empathetically listening in deep, group discussion or private conversation, supporting and assisting others in their own community(ies) and perhaps those of other members.

Creating a welcoming, conscious, mature, and pleasant environment of friendly inclusivity and ethical, humane support at the social events (with attention given to the transportation, event costs, and other potential barriers for some members), whether in-person or online, is paramount as there is a great deal of long-term, unnecessary suffering occurring in the region presently -- with no end in sight.

Here's to looking forward to socializing, destressing, beginning or furthering healing (for some), safely getting to know and finding commonalities and strengths with one another and being of service to members and non-members/communities in need in order to experience involvement, sharing, fun, relaxation, enjoyment and/or fulfilment while encouraging or spurring lasting positive change within ourselves and any others we can healthfully, positively affect in the group and others along the way!💫

Communitarianism is a philosophy that emphasizes the connection between the individual and the community.

Its overriding philosophy is based upon the belief that a person's social identity and personality are largely molded by community relationships, with a smaller degree of development being placed on individualism.

In this case, the community is a collection of interactions, among a community of people in a given place (geographical location), or among a community who share an interest or who share a history.

Communitarianism usually opposes extreme individualism and rejects extreme laissez-faire policies that deprioritise the stability of the overall community.

Responsive communitarians have been playing a considerable public role, presenting themselves as the founders of a different, humane kind of environmental movement, one dedicated to shoring up society (as opposed to the state) rather than nature.

Like environmentalism, communitarianism appeals to audiences across the political spectrum.

Although communitarianism is a small philosophical school, it has had considerable influence on public dialogues and politics.
