Cottage Med/Caring in Community

Caring in Community is a small group of health professionals committed to helping others. In a time of increasing complexity, rapid change and broken relationships, we want to stand up, slow down, hold onto traditional wisdom while adapting to the change all around us. Understanding the modern sciences of chaos and complexity can help.

Our mission is to serve others through theory and practice. Our site shows some of our research and the community projects through which we put chaos and complexity science to work helping heal individuals and the complex communities in which we live. We balance democratic and cooperative ideals with practical experience tested in the incubator of Caring in Community.

We have borrowed the adage that money is like air - you may need to breathe to live, but there is a whole lot more to life than breathing. Money is also about as ephemeral as air, so take care of it but do not hold onto it too tightly. It would be futile. You might even lose your soul trying. This is why we choose to be nonprofit. A nonprofit can better keep the dream alive.

Cottage_Med, our biggest community project (and worldwide), is free. Until today, it has grown without selling it to anyone. Your gifts, however, are vital donations to keep our projects alive and growing.

Please enjoy your visit with us. Share your thoughts. Dream as high and wide as you can possibly imagine. We would like to help.
