…a participatory conference gathering in the beautiful coastal redwoods of Occidental, California!

Less than a week away, the FIC is once again hosting their flagship event with over 40 presenters offering interactive workshops, inspiring presentations, and celebrations of what it means to live "in community."

Topics we'll cover include:
  • Holistic Ecovillage Planning
  • Regional Community Organizing
  • Legalities of Cooperative Ownership
  • Consensus Decision Making
  • Gift Groups
  • Spirituality in Community
  • How to Keep Inspiration Alive
  • Feng Shui for Planning Community
  • Economic Leveraging for Communities
  • Conflict Resolution Skills
  • How to be a Dynamic Facilitator
  • and much, much more!
In addition there will be various yoga styles for groups, Mystic Dance Party and Live Music Jam, Campfire Song Circles, Geoph Kozeny Communitarian Award Ceremony, Live Auction, Games for Cooperative Community, and opportunities for networking and special facilitated discussions groups.

After the main weekend conference, go deeper with Carol Swann's workshop intensive based on Arnold Mindell's Deep Democracy Process, or join John Schinnerer for Dynamic Governance, aka Sociocracy.

Concurrently, the first FIC Social Change Summit brings together folks with a fire in their belly to create change via the vehicle of community. We'll focus on ways in which we can deepen collaborative relationships to strengthen the Communities Movement.

Whether you are seeking intentional community for the first time, want to know how to create community wherever you live, or a seasoned communitarian looking to deepen your cooperative connections, there are plenty of ways to plug in and share ideas and knowledge, skills and stories.

Day passes and a special Saturday Night Ticket available.
Discounts for FIC members, students, and seniors.
