GLAS Original: Community

From a GLAS Method perspective, community begins with Relationships / Connection and Emotions / Awareness. Awareness of self and others enables empathy, safety, and trust. When individuals feel emotionally seen, they are more willing to engage honestly and vulnerably.

Community is strengthened through Growth / Learning and Resilience. Shared learning creates shared language; shared challenge builds shared strength. GLAS views community as a developmental space where individuals learn faster and recover more effectively together than alone.

Finally, community is sustained by Purpose / Meaning, Energy / Vitality, and Joy / Fulfilment. When people gather around meaning, energy is renewed rather than drained. Contribution fuels fulfilment, and joy becomes collective rather than conditional.
