EVENTS CALENDAR

2025

in the Goodenough Community

What makes community meaningful and fun?

​

The richness of life in community comes in many ways – getting together informally over a meal...celebrating a significant birthday with long- time and newfound friends...working together in a creative endeavor...collaborating in a work party...thinking deeply with others about what it means to be fully alive and connected with ourselves, each other, and the land...and more.

​

In the Goodenough Community, we recognize such ways to connect as expressions of living life fully and in communities of all kinds. Throughout the year we offer programs and events that help you participate in your own development, learn about relating well with other people, and discover your potential to have a good time in life and with others.

​

We welcome your interest and your participation, and hope that you will join us at any – or many! – of this year’s events.
