Nov 3 | 3-4pm Eastern
Thankfully, our facilitator Clifford Paulin Esq. has been advising communities on the legal aspects of community living for 15 years. Join us for a 1-hour bird’s eye view of legal topics to consider when starting, maintaining, or reforming a community.
Strong and responsive legal agreements within communities are key to both their long-term success and maintaining healthy relationships between community members. Learn about some of the most common legal issues that communities face and what you need to be prepared for them in this FREE webinar.
If you are ready to dig deeper into the legal side of intentional communites, this session is also a great introduction to Clifford’s 5-week Legal Basics for Forming Communities course.
“Clifford is a wonderful educator, not just his experience and expertise, but his sensibility to the bigger picture and also his foresightful cautions, all provide a great panoramic perspective. He also has a fabulous ability to provide for questions. And in answering them, he goes into the surrounding detail, and then even asks the questioner if that answered the question!”
– Karen Maleski

Teri’s presence, warmth, poise, experience and clarity. I quickly felt at ease and confident that she knew what she was talking about, and could share the material effectively, while also managing the group format. – Jeffrey B
What a beautiful gift to our intentional community builders and leaders! FIC’s programs provide a way for thinking and concerned people to collaborate for solutions to our multitude of global crises. Thank you FIC! – Terri Garcia
I am constantly impressed by the down-to-earth practicality of the FIC workshops combined with the philosophical questions that are so vital for us to explore. I’m grateful for the excellent planning and delivery of the workshops by skilled and inclusive presenters, who create a space that is both welcoming and invites participants to challenge existing ideas and world views. Well done and thank you FIC. – Claire Ogden
