Fellowship For Intentional Community Semi-Annual Organizational Meeting
Nov 12-14 at Mosaic Commons, Berlin MA

The Fellowship for Intentional Community will be holding its fall organizational meetings Nov 12-14, 2010 at newly constructed Mosaic Commons, a cohousing community about FIC40 miles west of Boston, and you're invited!

Massachusetts is a stronghold of community interest and though we've met there twice before (both times at Sirius, outside of Amherst) this marks the first time we've met in the Bay State in more than a decade--we figured it was about time we came back.

Topics we'll tackle at these meetings include:

  • update on plans for the next Art of Community weekend, scheduled for northern CA in June 2011
  • creation of the 2011 budget
  • review of collaboration with sister organizations
  • first reports on release of our new edition Communities Directory (out in August)

This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with FIC's movers and shakers, finding out where your energy might fit into the mix, and observing some consensus veterans in action. We hope you'll join us for the camaraderie and stimulating conversation!
