Andrea White” Generative communities practice a dialectic of convening an narrating, thereby achieving a state of naturally self sustaining growth by honoring five discernible conditions of existence: connecting, grounding, informing, discussing, and engaging. Respectively, this means that community members know and honor their relationships and value systems, and thus are able to effectively perceive the current state of their community, home in on the most pressing issues they face, and prototype solutions for them.”-
