I'm looking for a ride from the NYC area. The links won't work in this post, but
you can go to www.ic.org for more info.

We'll be gathering on Saturday May 16th at the Camphill Kimberton Community near
Philadelphia PA for a special day of community, inspiration and networking.

In addition to being able to connect with kindred spirits from the region, here
are a few of the workshops you could enjoy:
Consensus with the elder of community-based consensus, Caroline Estes
Special Sessions focusing on two of the most exciting branches of intentional
communities:
Cohousing (with Betsy Morris of Berkeley Cohousing) and
Ecovillages (with Ma'ikwe Schaub Ludwig of Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage and
Ecovillage Design Education) plus a session on
Starting A Residential Intentional Community with Ma'ikwe
Several Sessions With The Fic's Executive Secretary, Laird Schaub include:
Should I Start or Join a Community? and Conflict: Fight, Flight or Opportunity
And for folks interesting in neighborhood organizing and more casual creation of
community wherever you are:
Guerilla Community with Harvey Baker of the FIC board.
We'll also be doing the first official showing at an FIC event of Geoph Kozeny's
second volume of Visions of Utopia video.

Stay into the evening for a banquet, casual networking time and a benefit
auction to support the work of the FIC. (You can also make a donation to the
auction by contacting Laird <laird@...>)

Tickets are available here. Tickets are $50-100 sliding scale, with an early
bird special of $45 if you register by April 20th. Tickets include vegetarian
