There will be three workshops offered by members of Heathcote Community and School of Living:

There will be "tracks" for new and forming groups, building communities, completed communities and a special track for professionals currently working in or new to cohousing.

 

Similar to Open Space Planning, there will also be a FREE FORM parallel track all day for those who wish to learn or present on a topic not covered in the programming. This is YOUR conference. You can make whatever you need to have happen ... happen!

 

Topics range from financing to aging in place in community to permaculture to consensus to governance to workshare to meetings, etc.   And for those of you who still have spaces to fill or resales there's a very very very special hands on intensive workshop led by Neshama Abraham on marketing and sales in a down economy.

 

Laird Schaub will also bring and staff the FIC bookstore. This is an opportunity to buy those hard to find titles as well as the traditional favorites.

 

And more, more, more!
