CSI Book Club: Toronto Urban Ecovillage Exploration (session 3-5)

Session 3 — Thu, Nov 5 Yana Ludwig’s “Building Belonging.”What Is an Intentional Community? [p25-34] This chapter defines intentional communities, distinguishes them from other housing arrangements, and surveys different models such as cohousing, ecovillages, housing cooperatives, communes, and shared households. For those of you landing here for the first time, please read on and register. Those already registered, select "Pre-registered Guest!" For some people, it’s a lifelong dream; for others, it’s an emerging curiosity. Whatever your motivation, there has never been a more important time to explore intentional community living. Amid serious political, economic, and ecological crises, many are discovering the joy and hope that communal living can bring. Interested in learning more? Join us this fall for a five-week reading group exploring the vision of urban ecovillage living. Together, we’ll meet biweekly starting Thursday 8th October, 6-8pm, to discuss short, selected readings that explore the basics of intentional community living. Questions we’ll consider include: What is intentional community? Why live in an intentional community? And, is intentional community right for me? This is an intentionally open space for exploration. There are no commitments, just an opportunity to begin exploring the meaning and possibilities of community life.
