Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Liz Walker's new book

[Craig Ragland (craigragland]

Liz Walker is best known as the author of "Ecovillage at Ithaca"

http://store.ic.org/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=77
(if you buy from this link, it benefits the Fellowship for Intentional
Community)

She will present the opening keynote address on Friday, June 17. Some of us
met Liz at the 2006 National Cohousing Conference in Chapel Hill - since
then, she has become much better known and has transcended the world of
cohousing (Ecovillage at Ithaca hosts 2 cohousing communities and has a
third under development). She is an excellent speaker and the Cohousing
Association feels very fortunate to have "landed" this thought-leader to
help Cohousers better understand how the "cluster concepts" of cohousing and
ecovillages relate.

Here's a link to the conference schedule information:

We've not yet posted specific information on Liz or her talk to the
conference website, but I've heard from the program team that her
presentation will be incredible.
