Peter Block: The Possibility Conversation
Show Notes

The Common Good podcast is a conversation about the significance of place, eliminating economic isolation and the structure of belonging.  Last episode we started a series of 6 episodes focusing on the 6 conversations from Peter Block’s work. We began with the invitation conversation and today we will focus on the possibility conversation. The final four conversations for the next four episodes are ownership, dissent, commitment and gifts.  These conversations are designed to occur in small groups, seeking to produce transformation in communities.

You can find more about the conversations in Peter's book, Community: Structure of Belonging, and from these videos, the first of which is called, "The Possibility."

The recited poem is "There is No Going Back" by Wendell Berry.

This episode was hosted by Rabbi Miriam Terlinchamp, produced by Joey Taylor and the music is from Jeff Gorman. You can find more information about the Common Good Collective and the reader here. Common Good Podcast is a production of Bespoken Live and Common Change - Eliminating Personal Economic Isolation.
