This article examines how to create a “beloved community”, as Martin Luther King stated, and how to build daily, long-lasting bonds in our times and spaces. In other words, this article explores the strategies we must devise in order to be resilient in these chaotic post-pandemic times in which we live. In support of this general postulate, numerous examples are provided in which resilient communities have been successfully created that have been able to support individuals who have had to face up to diverse collective traumas such as hurricane Katrina. The emphasis placed on the community dimension of resilience effectively introduces all the contributions gathered here as a result of the research carried out as part of the ANDREIA project, with the fostering of the pillar of affective relationships being one of the main lines of action.
