Are any groups exploring alternatives to long frequent meetings as ways to stay connected and still have time for hobbies (like laundry...)? I'm hoping for techno-solutions, like local computer networks, that facilitate deep broad asynchronous communications on multiple topics (like THIS LIST!) so as to shorten the time required for in-person synchronous consensus decision-making. (Yes, I'm a computer professional..) I'm enamored of the many benefits of cohousing over single-family housing, and intentional community over random connection or being limited to only biological family ties. However, I'm also a more-than full-time worker and a single parent, so am apprehensive about the amount of time groups may be spending in meetings. Please post some stats on this for your active group. Tell me how much time per week feels like enough, too much, too little.. and other thoughts about the dynamics of meetings. Let me clarify that I greatly value social connection: dance, drama, joint projects, cooking and eating, sharing times of all sorts are precious. What I fear (as a wearied laborer in the anti-nukes movement) are long, tedious sessions of minimal productive result. I'm into timed topics and carefully facilitated meetings where everyone moves purposefully through the agenda in order to have enough time for DANCING! Cheers.
