This is a mixed-experience group of people with different skills to research and assess varied models for collective and cooperative land-based living, sustenance, and enterprise. Study group members will identify together several possible paths to investigate more fully, divide up the work of familiarizing themselves with helpful models, literature, and case-studies.
We will meet in 5-session cycles with breaks in between. This cadence of focused study punctuated by periods for absorption, reflection, and implementation is intended to enable participants to sustain engagement and to support each other in moving from theory through ideation into practical action. In this way, we can balance group formation, active collaboration, and openness to newcomers.
At the end of the first 10-week cycle, study group participants will make suggestions about schedule for the next cycle, including choosing a new book. EcoGather will reopen the study group to new participants. If you are interested in joining for the next cycle, learn more about the group and apply, follow the button below.
