I appreciate any and all efforts to network and create connections among cohousers. I can only offer my OWN reasons for not participating in these phone calls - perhaps others have similar reasons. Or maybe different ones. 1. Time management: One of the things I love about the listserv is that I can access it anytime, anywhere. As a parent, teacher, consultant, etc. scheduling my days is an ongoing issue - so many of my time slots are spoken for that I am often reluctant to commit another time slot. 2. Phone phobia: Yes, this big loud-mouthed extrovert is somewhat phone-phobic. I do as much communication as I can either face-to-face or electronically. Plus, a big chunk of my consulting work is done as phone conferencing, so I'm often reluctant to get back on the phone again. 3. Lack of clear purpose/agenda: This is actually the biggest one for me. "Hey, let's have a phone call about cohousing!" This is just too general for me to be attracted to it. I live, eat, breath cohousing. I talk and think about cohousing all day long. I skim these posts and can focus on the issues or topics that I find interesting, relevant to my current phase of cohousing life, or about which I may have some expertise to contribute. I ignore others. I MIGHT go onto a call that focused on a specific topic, if I had a related question or answers...or one that was geared toward a particular audience: those just beginning to explore vs. communities in development vs. those of us already living in cohousing vs. cohousing professionals. I hope this is helpful. -- Eris Weaver Facilitator & Group Process Consultant 707-338-8589 eris [at] erisweaver.info http://www.erisweaver.info fa cil? i tat: to make easier
