Legal & Social Agreements with Lost Valley

REGISTER NOW

Legal and social agreements are key to flourishing communities. Join Lost Valley Education Center for this informative webinar on community living agreements, waivers, leases, insurance protections, application processes and more.

Lost Valley Educational Center and its onsite community Meadowsong Ecovillage, have a lot of moving parts and legal elements to their well-established community. Seasoned communitarians Colin and See will be guiding us through how they’ve maintained a thriving community via their legal elements.

They’ll be covering their community zoning, community living agreements, legal protection waivers, leases with residents and agreements with work-traders, insurance protections, site plan application process and their unique system of credited chores.

During this session you will learn:

• An on-the-ground example of how a well-established community has recently handled its legal elements
• Info on a variety of different legal/agreement sides to the community (beyond forming community debates about LLC vs 501(c)3, etc)
• Examples and suggestions of both formal, binding arrangements and internal, non-binding agreements

See

See is currently serving as Lost Valley’s Bookkeeper. She hails from Colorado, but has traveled all over the world. She spent two years in Portland and has called Lost Valley her home since 2019.
