VISIONS OF UTOPIA: Experiments in Sustainable Culture
Today's Social Laboratories: "Intentional Communities"

Ever since the 6th Century BC--when the Buddha instructed his 
followers to live in community--people have been living together 
"intentionally" based on shared visions of a better world. In the 
ensuing 2500 years there have been an amazing array of visionary 
social experiments: egalitarians, anarchists, Christians, Quakers, 
Eastern spiritual groups, back-to-the-landers, environmentalists, 
psychologists, artists, retired professionals, urban homesteaders, 
land co-ops, student co-ops, and much more.

Today there exist thousands of these visionary groups, living their 
everyday lives in ways that reflect their values and visions. 
Tonight's multimedia presentation will feature an overview of the 
wide range of histories, philosophies, and lifestyles currently 
available in shared living communities-plus excerpts from Geoph's 
award-winning video documentary "Visions of Utopia." An open 
discussion will follow.

WHEN:   Wednesday, Oct 26 * 7:00 PM

WHERE:  677 W. Ranger Ave, Alameda
