Panel — Finding Community: Seekers Turned Residents Share Their Stories

Tuesday, March 16th from 4–6pm Eastern. See your local time.

Are you on the journey of searching for an intentional community to call home?

The best way to learn about the process is by hearing from those who have done it! That’s why we’ve brought together a collection of community seekers turned residents to tell their stories of finding community. Walk away with inspiration, companionship and good advice for your own community search. The event will include lots of time for Q&A so come with your questions!
