From Wren: I attended last Saturday’s Gaia U Open House. I continue to be amazed at the scope and effectiveness of Gaia U. It brings our alternative values into practice, while educating alternative-minded students in hands-on, exploratory, real world ways. It’s a great alternative to the conventional classroom! I hope you can make this Open House or connect with Gaia U through its website or other means! —WT

A Global Open Space Geared Towards Action
From Wren: The World Social Forum is a growing event that happens concurrently with The World Economic Forum. WSF intends to turn the tide of “neo-liberal globalization,” (free market capitalism, with slavery, child labor, imperialism and environmental injustice).
I just received this email reporting on the World Social Forum in Dakar, Senegal. Click here for [...]
Too Busy for The L-Word
One thing that is the same at Heathcote, my Intentional Community, as in the wider world is our tendency to over-schedule and over-commit.
It’s a predictable comedy when we whip out our calendars at meetings and try to find a date for any outing, celebration or committee work. We’re certain to settle on some compromise date [...]
Community Plus Partner: Integrating Significant Others
Relationships, polyamorous or monogamous, are complicated enough. Imagine if all your friends had to reach consensus on whether you and your sweetie(s) could move in together. Well, actually, your friends might relish that power. Anyway, welcome to the alien terrain in which my partner and I find ourselves. I live at Heathcote Community and in [...]

STILL A Revolutionary Decision-Making Process
From Wren: I’m reproducing this article from several years ago, with C.T.’s permission. C.T. Butler and I, along with a forming collective of facilitators, have been putting new language to the many paradigm shifts that help practitioners of consensus decision-making succeed in conducting meetings that reflect the egalitarian, non-violent, post-privilege world in which we want [...]
Help Spread Consensus Decision-Making Through Indymedia and the World Social Forum in Dakar, Senegal
***PRESS RELEASE***PLEASE CIRCULATE***
The opportunity of a lifetime is before me. I’m writing for support of a project to train members of media cooperatives and collectives around the world in consensus decision-making and community building.
Consensus author/trainer C.T. Lawrence Butler and I have been working with organizers to structure an event leading up to 2011’s World Social [...]
Mother Earth Harvest Fair
Alright rain, we have a deal. You’re gonna hold off until I’m loading my last box at the end of the day.
I know I wrote extensively at the end of this year’s Fairie Festival about weather being my white whale, but we’ve made friends now, right?
C.T. Butler and I are up past midnight finishing posters [...]
Hot Tub Tribe
After weeks of working long hours at the fairs, I got to reconnect with my tribe in a sweet way at last night’s hot tub party!
Our wood fired cob hot tub, with two beaver profiles sculpted at the firing end, was made as part of a workshop. Gotta love education at Heathcote! I have other [...]
