Community and Sustainability:
A weekend conference with the Fellowship for Intentional Community and
Earthaven Ecovillage.
June 1-3, 2001, near Asheville, North Carolina.

Held on 325 forested acres, Earthaven is a growing community with 55 full
members, and a steady stream of visitors and students. The creeks and spring
waters are clear and refreshing, and the forest is full of wonder.  There
will be workshops; networking, good food, music, a high-energy arts, crafts,
services auction and more!

Saturday, June 2, Workshops include:

*   "Building As If Breathing Matters" (Building Naturally) with Chuck Marsh
and Paul Caron

Sunday June 3, "In-Depth with Earthaven":

An in-depth look at life at Earthaven Ecovillage. The morning begins with a
spiritual practice of your choice (including "the prayer of peaceful repose",
i.e., sleeping-in). Then, after breakfast, we'll go on a walking tour of
Earthaven, followed by a panel discussion with a variety of Earthaven members
--your chance to ask all those questions about the realities of community
life. During the afternoon, take your choice of two presentations by
Earthaven members on various aspects of our process: Natural Building,
Forestry, Family Life, Governance, Finance, Ecospirituality, Land
Stewardship, Growing Food, Education, The Village School, Employment.

Earthaven was founded in 1995, inspired by a vision of a healthy,
multi-cultural, economically viable, spiritually diverse and ecologically
responsible community, living in ways that reawaken, heal and nourish both
our awareness of the fundamental oneness of creation and our conscious
connection with the natural world.

Please come join the fun!
