Hope is often described as a feeling inside an individual heart—but hope, at its deepest and most transformative, is a communal force.  Something that lives between us, not only within us. Something we generate and sustain together.  In times of discouragement, it can be hard to kindle hope alone.  But when we step into community—into circles of song, shared stories, collective purpose—we find that hope behaves differently.  It grows.  It multiplies.  It becomes something larger than the sum of our individual spirits.
