Ma'ikwe Ludwig, the executive director of Dancing Rabbit Inc, the nonprofit arm of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, is bringing her knowledge about community start-ups to the Bay Area.
Cooperation is a key element of sustainability, and a sense of community is critical for our well-being as humans. Many people feel drawn to a particular version of community: the residential intentional community. This workshop draws on years of knowledge from community founders, and Ma'ikwe's own 18 years of cooperative living, including three community start-ups, to lay out the most important considerations for making a new community a success.
Blending practical advice with opportunities for self-reflection, this workshop can help you set your feet on the right path for your group to thrive.
Topics will include:
- creating a good vision statement
- what successful founders have in common
- the relationship between decision-making, conflict resolution and membership process
- 15 spectrums that help define what kind of a community you are creating
- social dynamics you need to know about
- economic choices and their implication for sustainability and group cohesion
- what you should and shouldn't freak out about
- key questions for making your community a sustainable one
This workshop is a full-day format starting at 9am and ending at 5pm.
This event is co-produced by Femme Fire Productions (femmefire.com) with assistance from East Bay Cohousing
