Greetings Good Tree Village Friends,
Folks in the DC Metro area have an excellent opportunity to learn more about creating environmentally, economically and socially sustainable neighborhoods. The 2011 National Cohousing Conference (http://conference.cohousing.org/) will be in the DC area from 15-19 June. It's not too late to register for the opportunity to learn more about cohousing, meet people who live in cohousing across the US and network with cohousing professionals.
In the attached documents you'll find you've got many options even if you have limited time and/or budget.
For example, for $60 you can take a half-day tour of two urban cohousing communities: Takoma Village in DC, and Eastern Village in Silver Spring, MD. Lunch is included and you'll have an opportunity to see communities up close and interact with the people who actually live in cohousing communities. Or if you prefer to check out both urban and rural communities, for $105 take an all-day tour of 1 rural and 2 urban communities: Blueberry Hill in Vienna, VA; Catoctin Creek Village in Lovettsville, VA; and Eastern Village in Silver Spring, MD.
Another option is to attend conference workshops only Friday or only Saturday. You'll have the opportunity to attend 4-5 workshops and/or panels in just one day.
On Friday, Chuck Durrett -- one of the architects who brought cohousing to the US -- is teaching Cohousing 101. Other Friday workshops include Cohousing & Sustainability, Exploring Different Community Types: Cohousing, Ecovillages, Income-Sharing & Spiritual Communities, and Net Zero Energy. Saturday workshop options include Developing Partnerships to Achieve Long Term Affordability: Exploring Shared Equity, Eldering in Cohousing and Co-Farming: Growing Food in Community. Some of the leaders of the cohousing world will be opening each day as well as closing the conference: Kathryn McCamant & Charles Durrett (authors of newly released Creating Cohousing), Liz Walker (author of Choosing a Sustainable Future), and Ross Chapin (author of Pocket Neighborhoods). See http://conference.cohousing.org/2011/schedule for details on workshop schedules and topics. Make sure you click "Friday details" and "Saturday details" to get in-depth information.
For those who want all the details, try the pre-conference 2-day intensive Coho U (see attached pdf).
Please feel free to share this flyer in your personal community networks.
Hope to see you there!
