Our guest in this episode is Miriam Martineau, who is a counselor, teacher, and Founder of Next Step Integral. For the last 15 years she has studied and researched parenting as a spiritual practice. Miriam and her husband Stefan also lived in an intentional community called Morning Star for 10 years from 1992 to 2002, which they founded in rural BC, Canada.
We discuss the practical aspects of running an intentional community, attracting the right people in the early stages, dealing with bad actors, as well as raising children to adopt the values of community.
