Hi Friends of Community,
The Conference on Community and Sustainability May 24-26 at
The Farm in Summertown, Tennessee is about building solutions.
At a time when the world’s problems seem insurmountable, life in community
continues to deliver on the promise of hope for tomorrow, that a better
life is achievable in the here and now, and that when we work together,
we are infinitely stronger than any one of us alone.
First, let me apologize for the previous conference notice that inadvertently
inserted last year's dates. The dates are May 24-26.
By hosting our conference on Memorial Day weekend, people are
able to use the extra holiday for travel, and I encourage you to take this opportunity
to join us for weekend of inspiration, networking, and the empowering energy
you need to fulfill your vision of a better world.
Again, Saturday is about the building blocks of community:
- Green Homes―Illustrating change through where we
live
- Green Business―Right Livelihood, work that is seamless
with your ideals.
- Organic Food Production―You can grow most, if not
all of the food you and your family eat, right now.
- Alternative Education―Outside the box thinking to
nurture the leaders of tomorrow.
- Midwifery―Where it all begins. The model for returning
the sacraments of life to the family.
- The Land―The nucleus of community. Land trusts as
a new model for shared ownership and stewardship.
- and more
Saturday night will once again feature our
All Farm Vegetarian Barbecue, a chance to mix and mingle with
the 100+ residents and families of The Farm Community, always a highlight of
the weekend.
On Sunday we shift our focus from the material
to the spiritual, the real glue that holds a community together through
good and hard times. The act of living in community is to acknowledge that you
are part of something greater than yourself, that what you do matters, and that
you make change in the world by how you manage and focus your attention and
energy.
I am proud to work with the FIC for this fifth annual conference. Please feel
free to contact me with any questions or ideas on how you would like to participate.
I look forward to hearing from you.
