What’s happening with intentional communities in the YEAR 2020?

g

How are intentional communities responding to the challenges of this Year 2020 — from a pandemic to protests, natural disasters to political divisiveness. Are intentional communities better able to cope than the mainstream? What lessons can we learn from life in community?

Join us for this first event in our new series “Meet the Communities” to learn from intentional communities through presentations and panel discussion followed by Q&A from all of you. The event will feature Twin Oaks Community, Ithaca EcoVillage, Occidental Arts and Ecology Center, and PDX Commons – all intentional communities from across the US. Learn more about each community below.

Get your ticket above to join this live workshop on Zoom and/or to receive the recording in case you can’t make it. Tuesday, September 29 from 4–6pm Eastern. See your local time.
