If you live—or want to live—according to the ideals of sustainability, cooperation and equality, come to the annual Twin Oaks Communities Conference this summer for a celebration of cooperatives and communal lifestyles! From August 29 through September 1, 2014, network and learn about communities of all kinds — co-housing, co-ops, communes and ecovillages — at one of the best-known intentional com

munities in North America. At the conference, you can attend workshops on topics such as communication, resource sharing, group decision-making and dynamics, worker-owned businesses, ecological responsibility and more. Camp in a beautiful forest alongside fellow participants and be a part of a temporary, once-in-a-lifetime intentional community. Exchange ideas with major players in the Intentional Communities Movement by day and swap stories at fireside sharing circles by night. Who we are:

Twin Oaks Community is an intentional community of 100 people on 450 acres in rural central Virginia. Founded in 1967, the community values cooperation, non-violence, and egalitarianism. The community holds land, labor, money, and other resources in common and practices a democratic form of self-governance called the Planner-Manager system. Tours will be available during the conference. The conference is sponsored by two different inter-community organizations. The Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC) provides publications, referrals, support services, and sharing opportunities for a wide range of intentional communities, cohousing groups, ecovillages, community networks, support organizations, and people seeking a home in community. The Federation of Egalitarian Communities (FEC) is a network of groups which hold their land, labor, and other resources in common and are committed to equality, participatory government, ecology, and non-violence.

Hosted at nearby Cambia, this should be a great event. Excellent organizers and highly accessible.

It has been a hard year for Twin Oaks, in January a fire destroyed co**ie clothes (which has been rebuilt completely) and our residence Harmony (which is very slowly being rebuilt). This left us with fewer people to organize events and feeling like we should take a break from the Summer and Fall gathering and conferences we usually organize.

Fortunately, the network of surrounding smaller communities, lead by Bramble, are organizing a somewhat similar event over the same Labor Day weekend, in a site which is just a mile from the Twin Oaks conference site.

Something very much worth considering if you are looking for community or new members. Details in the blog post below.

Sadly, Twin Oaks has decided to cancel it’s annual Communities Conference over the Labor Day weekend. This is in large part due to the fire January of this year which burned Harmony and Commi…
