West Coast Communities Conference

“Inspired by the Twin Oaks Communities Conference…this event promises to be a brilliant convergence of those who see the vital role community has to play in the trying times we live in. Worker cooperatives, rural communes, artist collectives, or any other kind of communal enterprise is invited to participate. A blend of workshops and interactive social activities, we will go deep into the topics that matter most to our communities while also making time for joyous
connections.”
