What’s going on in the world of intentional community? with Sky Blue from FIC – Friday, March 22, 2019 at 8:00 pm (veggie potluck at 7pm)

The intentional communities movement is growing and evolving. New, innovative communities are expanding our conception of what they can look like and why they matter. Communities that have been around for decades are helping us articulate the lessons learned and how they can be applied. A growing number of organizations supporting a range of regenerative communities are coming together to collaborate, and intentional communities are increasingly finding their place in a much larger movement of movements working towards a cooperative, just, and sustainable world. Come for a presentation, Q&A, and discussion with Sky Blue, Executive Director of the Fellowship of Intentional Community.
