Please join us on Sunday, November 22nd at 1:00pm.  The NWNJ
Ecovillage group will be showing the first part of the Geoph
Kozenzy documentary, Visions of Utopia.  Geoph was an active
member of both the Fellowship for Intentional Communities and the
Federation of Egalitarian Communities.  The film follows 18
varying intentional communities throughout the world.

Intentional communities, as the name suggests, are communities of
people who have come together to live with a common vision.
Today many of us are looking for ways to bring more community
into our lives.  This documentary showcases some extraordinary
visions of 'ordinary' people and tells their stories of living
and working together to build a better world.   The documentary
follows examples of cohousing communities, spiritual communities,
communes, housing cooperatives, activist communities, and
ecovillages.

Visions of Utopia is 3 1/2 hours long - we will show the first
half this month.  This is a great opportunity to get to know
others looking for community and to familiarize yourself with
various types in intentional communities.  Following the movie,
we will talk about the NW NJ Ecovillage group, which plans to
grow within Sussex County, NJ.  We will discuss the vision for
the ecovillage, our history, what being a co-organizer of the
project entails, and our plans for the near future.  Please RSVP
to abe@... for location and directions.

Please bring some food to share - utensils, cups and plates will
be provided.

Peace,

Abe Karl-Gruswitz
