Intentional communities as living laboratories for social transformation
Addressing privilege and oppression within intentional communities and the movement, and intentional communities as vehicles for cultivating collective liberation in larger society
http://www.westcoastcommunitiesconference.org
Join us for an intergenerational inquiry at the Fourth annual West Coast Communities Conference. A blend of workshops and interactive social activities, we will go deep into the topics that matter most to our communities while also making time for joyous connections, ceremony, music, and celebration.
Inspired by the Communities Conference that takes place at Twin Oaks in Virginia each year, and organized with sponsorship from the Fellowship for Intentional Communities (FIC) and Federation of Egalitarian Communities (FEC), this event promises to be a brilliant convergence of those who see the vital role community has to play in the trying times we live in. Anyone with interest or experience in worker cooperatives, rural communes, artist collectives, or any other kind of communitarian enterprise is invited to participate.
We Will Explore Topics Around:
•Intentional Communities as Living Laboratories for Social Transformation.
• Conversation and Innovation around Privilege, Access, and Inclusion within Intentional Living Movements
• Envisioning communities as vehicles for cultivating collective liberation in larger society.
• Important Social, Cultural, Spiritual, and Deep Ecological “Technologies” for communities of the now and years ahead
*Sliding Scale Registration Options and Scholarships available
