Why Attend?

 

Are you interested in intentional communities? Want to see a more just and sustainable world, based on cooperation instead of competition?

This is the event to be at if you want to celebrate communitarian life, learn more about community living in its many forms (ecovillages, co-operatives, shared income communities, co-housing models -- urban & rural), and hear about forming and expanding intentional communities in our area. If you want to network with others, perhaps looking to form a new community, or if you want to bring your community successes for others to be inspired by, or your questions and challenges forward to seek support, you are welcome!

We hope you'll join us for learning, playing, mutual support and celebrate 25 years of intentional community networking as an educational nonprofit in the Cascadia Bioregion.
