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. We've tried to make this series accessible, by keeping it free to members and just $5 a session to non-members, so please share with those you think may be interested. Your questions answered — 1. What are intentional communities / urban ecovillages?
