It was a pretty chaotic time, but it was our first meeting. The best thing about getting the 14 of us together was finding out what people want to give, and what they want to get from the group. There was a wonderful range of experiences represented, from intentional community members, founders, and former members to members of a neighborhood project cooperative.
The goals set out by attendees of the first meeting included wanting to share knowledge and experience, a desire to form a lasting network between communities, wanting a forum for sharing and exploring new ideas, and needing a place to learn together.
For now, the group will meet once per month. Kailish Ecovillage has generously offered meeting space and we’re currently working with them on scheduling. Check back for updates as we’ll post an announcement for the next meeting as soon as we have details.
