If you want to improve your sustainability plant skills these classes are the perfect thing for you.
In this special three day program Diana Leafe Christian, author of “Creating A Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities” will give an in depth lesson in how to create and maintain your own sustainable community or ecovillage.
With lively exercises, humorous musical skits, slide show presentations, and vivid anecdotes about real problems and their successful solutions, ecovillage author Diana Leafe Christian describes what works well, pitfalls to avoid, and how not to reinvent the wheel in creating new ecovillages. Course includes: antidotes for common kinds of “structural conflict” and interpersonal conflict, and a “Board Game” to demonstrate the relationship between mission, membership process, and decision-making method. Methods for building trust and connection, increasing social capital, and dealing with the challenging group member. “Politically incorrect” methods for making needed changes in the group. Case histories demonstrating how real ecovillages purchased, financed, and developed their properties. Community economics: internal community finances, creating a village-scale economy.
