Previous story regarding this topic if there is one:
There was once SENIC (Southeast Network of Intentional Communities) where they held a couple of large sessions where communities gave presentations and had a potluck together. They were recognized by the FIC (Federation of Intentional Communities).
Highlights of Discussion (present story unfolding):
Sage Linden has created a yahoo group website/email listserv to provide an online space for people to have discussions, post their community visions, find a community vision they might want to help with, and to see other website resources and existing community websites. Hoping to have a tour of existing WNC intentional communities in the fall. There was discussion about different community aspects and a few specific community examples. Some innovative ideas, book titles, and resources were shared among the group.
Future Action/Next Steps:
-Plan intentional community tour
-Get more people to post community visions to the website
-Start a book group reading a book about creating communities
-Have a meeting soon and Mary Sylva offered the space at the upcoming Center for Possibilities
Resources Required (who should be involved, finances, non-paid labour, other):
-Sage is running the group right now and no money has been needed so far.
