Spiritual Community Resrouces?

3 posts in this topic

Hey.

So I've been feeling/thinking that I probably want to work towards one day creating some sort of spiritual community.

Does anyone have any good books, documentaries, videos, people or other resources which could give me insights into what it takes to build and sustain a healthy community, and all the traps involved as well.

It could be anecdotes and experiences people have had (e.g., like if one of Osho's followers wrote a book about their experiences and lessons learned), or more analytical and knowledge-based books about creating communities.

I'm more interested in spiritual communities in particular.

Stories of people's attempts, successes, failures, lesson's, advice, and stories would be great!

Cheers

Maybe also some memoirs of monks' experiences

...

wasn't there a book or accounts of monks in early history in Japan who started warring with each other?  Leo talked about it....

Shunyamurti comes to mind! He runs a successful conscious spiritual community in costa Rica.
