Community and Sustainability:
A weekend conference with the Fellowship for Intentional Community and Earthaven Ecovillage.
June 1-3, 2001, near Asheville, North Carolina.

Held on 325 forested acres, Earthaven is a growing community with 55 full members, and a steady stream of visitors and students. The creeks and spring waters are clear and refreshing, and the forest is full of wonder. There will be workshops; networking, good food, music, a high-energy arts, crafts, services auction and more!

Saturday, June 2, Workshops include:

* "Building As If Breathing Matters" (Building Naturally) with Chuck Marsh and Paul Caron
*   "Putting Humans In The Landscape" (Permaculture Basics) with Peter Bane
* "Where Do We Go From Here? An Introduction to Ecovillages" with Patricia Allison * "Environmental Education: Are We Ready to Take The Jump?" with Arjuna da Silva
*   "Cultural Environmentalism" with Karen Henninger
*   "Visions of Utopia" with Geoph Kozeny
*   "When Our Bodies Speak, Is Anyone Listening" with Carol Swann
* "Conflict - Does It Mean Your Group Is Sick or Just Paying Attention" with Laird Schaub
*   "Forming New Communities" with Diana Christian
*   "Consensus Basics" with Tree Bressen
*   "Creating Culture Through Ritual"
*   "Egalitarianism"

Sunday June 3, "In-Depth with Earthaven":

An in-depth look at life at Earthaven Ecovillage. The morning begins with a spiritual practice of your choice (including "the prayer of peaceful repose", i.e., sleeping-in). Then, after breakfast, we'll go on a walking tour of Earthaven, followed by a panel discussion with a variety of Earthaven members --your chance to ask all those questions about the realities of community life. During the afternoon, take your choice of two presentations by Earthaven members on various aspects of our process: Natural Building, Forestry, Family Life, Governance, Finance, Ecospirituality, Land Stewardship, Growing Food, Education, The Village School, Employment.

Earthaven was founded in 1995, inspired by a vision of a healthy, multi-cultural, economically viable, spiritually diverse and ecologically responsible community, living in ways that reawaken, heal and nourish both our awareness of the fundamental oneness of creation and our conscious connection with the natural world.

Please come join the fun!
