Seminar
This
workshop will feature: "Community Building & Creating a
Sense of Place," patterns of human dynamics, intentional communities
& eco-villages. We will also learn strategies for
creating community-wide economic stability and methods for finding our
own right-livelihoodsŠ
Featuring a Communication Pattern Exercise -find out what
"style of communicator" you are!
Various strategies for the design and development of intentional
communities and eco-villages will be considered, including legal
structures and sociological ramifications. Students will have the
opportunity to share their own ideas for eco-village design during a
class discussion. Unique strategies for creating Permaculture communities
and MicroVillages. "Invisible" structures underlie the
arrangement of human societies and involve psychological, political and
economic patterns. These hidden frameworks for human interaction
link the Permaculturist and his or her site to society at large and can
exert a profound influence on how decisions are made and how effective
they can be over time.
