Social & Economic Justice in Intentional Community

REGISTER NOW

Take the first steps to make your community more inclusive, just, and loving.

Join organizer and author Gwendolyn Hallsmith for an interactive workshop on transforming the oppressive cultural and economic structures that can be at work in community.

As much as we might want to, intentional communities cannot simply opt out of the dominant ownership, money, markets, management, and metrics systems in our world. We need to build alternatives. 

Join Gwendolyn to learn about the steps your community can take to create more equitable and ultimately more loving structures in the places we live and work. Step out of the hidden operating systems that impoverish humanity and destroy the natural world. Step into a loving culture.

Key outcomes of this workshop:

• An understanding of the larger global structures at work in our lives
• Real world strategies communities can use to be more inclusive and just
• Specific steps individuals can take to start a new initiative in their own communities
