Sunday 8:30 – 10:00 am
The session will use Robina McCurdy's work with Mandalas to first explore our deepest values related to community, ownership, land stewardship and sharing. Then we will review the differences between LLC and Co-op legal structures and examine how well they support our deepest communal values. We will also discuss Community Land Trusts and what they might offer regarding implementing our values.
