West Coast Communities Conference Collective Liberation: Intentional communities as living laboratories for social transformation

This conference is an intentional experience of community. Whether you live in an intentional community, are interested in joining or starting one, are a networker or organizer, or are new to intentional communities, this conference will have something for you. Come learn about the intentional communities of the western US, gain skills and understanding for living in and developing intentional communities, and find mutual support and camaraderie with others involved with intentional community. Come celebrate the diverse types of community that exist, expand the potential of increased inclusiveness, and explore Intentional Community as a model for impacting wider social change.
