Community without Walls

Sunday 8:30 – 10:00 am
Many forming communities put lots of attention on the legal, financial, design and other business aspects of building our physical space. It is just as critical that we emphasize the ‘development’ of the community of people who will be living, working and playing together BEFORE we do live in the same place. Terri will discuss ways 1) to create community bonds early, 2) to develop and present your ‘community-face’ to possible members, 3) to work with the challenges that arise as your community grows, and 4) to cultivate and nurture communication skills to face those challenges. She will use examples and stories from Daybreak and other communities to illustrate the many options available to your community.
