For most of us it's just plain scary, and we bring that naivete and scarring into our community lives. Many groups mistakenly think that the frequency of conflict is a barometer of community health, but it isn't. The litmus test is how you handle conflict; not how much you have.The Agreements, Conflict, and Communication bundle offers a handful of articles about working constructively with distress and conflict, as well as a smorgasbord of information about agreements and communication skills that are hallmarks of mature, healthy groups. You don't have to make it all up from scratch  These pieces showcase some of the best things that intentional communities have to offer the wider culture.This Digital Issue about Agreements, Conflict, and Communication includes:1.
