How active is the community, and what type of activities/events do they typically organize?

[Hev]

This question aims to gauge the level of engagement and participation within the community, as well as the variety of activities and events it offers to its members. By inquiring about the community's activity level, individuals seek to understand how frequently members interact, communicate, and collaborate with one another. Additionally, they are interested in learning about the types of events and activities organized by the community, such as meetings, workshops, social gatherings, volunteering opportunities, or special interest groups. Understanding the community's level of activity and the range of events helps prospective members assess whether their interests align with the opportunities for engagement provided by the community, enabling them to make an informed decision about joining.

We're not a passive group. People are here with purpose. And that to achieve that purpose they can't simply be passive. So they participate. They also tend to be creators and makers. Everyone here has an active interest in socializing their thoughts.

The biggest impediment is geography. It's why we've started LearnGrowRepeat around the website. However, for people to practice what they've learned in the real world, they have to go out into the real world and meet face to face. We hold as many events as we can. And as the community grows, our capacity to hold events grows.

Think decentralized and not in the centralized, hierarchical way we've been conditioned.

If you don't have enough LearnGrowRepeat folks out by you to host a lunch, dinner, or cocktail hour then go find some more. The value of being a part of LearnGrowRepeat grows as more people join. Once you've got enough folks to meet face to face, then start thinking about projects. What can you do together? Is there a problem in your town you can help address as a group? Can you practice the principals you've learned here to plan and carry out your project? 

Gatherings are a chance to prove that you've discovered a better way to go about the whole community thing. It's a chance to see if you can walk the talk. Or does your interpretive mind and conditioning keep sneaking back in? Can you get along with people you disagree with when you are dealing with them face to face? Gatherings are more than just friends and fun. Gatherings are an important part of learning and growing.

If you don't have enough folks to meet face to face, then host a virtual event. What topic interests or inspires you? Put it on the site calendar. Invite people you've met on the website. Invite locals you'd like to join. Let your Tour Guide know what you're up to so we can help promote it.

If something is on your mind and it's not getting enough love on LearnGrowRepeat, then bring it up. Bring it up online. Host a gathering. Live or virtual. If you want an active community, be active.

Live the life. And thrive doing it.
