Cohousing-L Mailing List: TeleTalk: summer recess

[ann zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all!  I've been taking a break from the monthly TeleTalk series
for the summer.  However, the series will start up again  Thursday,
September 2nd when the "Denmark 8" gather via phone to talk about our
experience visiting coho communities in the "cohousing motherland."
Fred Olson also visited some communities in Sweden.  Susan LaBarre
and I visited a 60 yr old ecovillage in Iceland.  It was founded as
an orphanage in 1930 by a 28 yr. old woman who was a follower of
Rudolph Steiner's education principles.

We visited the two oldest coho communities as well as some
"youngsters."  I invite you to join us for this fun filled and fact
filled TeleTalk.  Stay tuned for details.
