DESCRIPTION:What works and what doesn't work in forming Intentional Communities and 
 EcoVillages? Diana Leafe Christain, author of "Creating a Life Together, 
 Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages and Intentional Communities", will do a 
 lecture and slide show on Monday August 29th, 7-9pm at the Alameda Point 
 Collaborative Mural Room, about the process of forming these kinds of new 
 communities. Gleaned from dozens of successful communities in North 
 America, she shares the nuts and bolts of beginning one and how to avoid 
 fatal mistakes that cause these kind of communities to fail.   An 
 intentional community is a group of people who have chosen to live with or 
 near enough to each other to carry out their shared lifestyle or common 
 purpose together.  Ecovillages are intentional communities that aspire to 
 create a more humane and sustainable way of life.  Typically, an ecovillage 
 builds ecologically sustainable housing, grows much of it’s own food, 
 recycles waste products harmlessly and generates it’s own off-grid power. 
  Diana Leafe Christian is the editor of Communities Magazine 
 (http://www.fic.ic.org/cmag), the Fellowship for Intentional Community’s 
 quarterly national publication about intentional communities in North 
 America, since 1993.  For the past six years she has led workshops on the 
 practical steps to form intentional communities.  She has been interviewed 
 by NPR and the BBC about intentional communities.   Her articles on 
 Ecovillages, financial and legal aspects of communities, children in 
 community and communication and group process issues in community have 
 appeared in publications ranging from Mother Earth News to the Permaculture 
 Activist, and Canada’s Time Magazine. She presently lives in the 
 Earthhaven Ecovillage in North Carolina.  \n
