Build It and They Will Come

Build It And They Will Come: A Guide To Architecting Intentional Community, written by Cat Lantigua, is a book that reminds us all that if we feel the call to bring people together, it is an expression of a deep yearning within ourselves that deserves to be honored; it is inherently an extension of what it means to be a human being that is a part of something bigger than self.This book tells us that if you do not feel like you belong in the spaces around you, there is not anything inherently wrong, it is just time to build your own.The representation around what it is like to be a modern day community builder seems so out of reach. The role is seemingly relegated only to activists, organizers, entrepreneurs with cult followings, or influencers with large Instagram audiences. This book flips all of that on its head. It reminds us that anyone can build an intentional community--you just have to have a vision for it.Build It And They Will Come touches on all of the elements of what to consider when building a soul-aligned community, from the perspective of a woman who dared to mold reality to reflect her ideal sisterhood and discovered magic and life altering lessons along the way.
