Cohousing-L Mailing List: Bay Area Intentional Communities Association & Dinner?

[Steve Habib Rose (habib]

Peace.

The Northwest Intentional Communities Association (NICA) is a helpful "umbrella"
group for different types of intentional communities (cohousing, income sharing,
neighbornets etc.) in Washington and Oregon.  NICA sponsors networking and
educational events for people already involved in intentional communities, and
does outreach to people who are interested but not yet involved.

Is there interest in starting a similar association in the San Francisco Bay
Area? I am planning to visit November 27th-December 5th, and, if there is
interest, I'd like to help publicize a Bay Area Intentional Communities Dinner
sometime during my visit.  If the timing is wrong for such a dinner (it is right
around Thanksgiving & Hanukkah), but there is interest in such an idea or other
gathering, please make arrangements as appropriate.  There is little reason for
me to be directly involved except that I could share a bit about what NICA does
and how it operates.

Yours,

Steve Habib Rose
