Cohousing-L Mailing List: Happy Take Back Your Time Day! (10/24)

[Raines Cohen (rc2-coho-L]

One of my neighbors at Swan's passed this along, and it seemed relevant 
to the movement at large... and interesting fodder for discussion in 
looking at how we set up our communities. It often feels like we trade 
one kind of time (individual work cooking, maintaining one's home, etc.) 
for community time (meetings, committees, one-on-one encounters, 
workdays) -- the challenge is to maintain collective control of your 
group so that what you add in the latter doesn't exceed what you gain in 
the former.

P.S. I also have a high priority on building relationships between our 
movement and those of Simple Living and similar publications/initiatives. 
Are there other logical candidates that pop to mind along those lines?

TAKE BACK YOUR TIME DAY is a nationwide initiative to
challenge the epidemic of overwork, over-scheduling
and time famine that now threatens our health, our
families and relationships, our communities and our
environment.
