Wanna Start a Commune? We heart co-housing!

Do you like your neighbors? Do you wish you knew their names? Would you want to make dinners with them, live with your door open, and vote on every group decision using a system of color-coded cards? These friendly people are building New York’s first co-housing community. Care to join them?
Wanna Start a Commune? From an article on WeCommune in today's Globe and Mail (Canada): “We have a cash economy, we have a credit economy, both of which are ailing and broken. ... Can we not create a third economy, a resource-sharing economy?”

We're heading north to Becoming Commons, a clustering/swarming/gathering of people entangled in the complexities of everyday living and working together... communes, collectives, homesteads, experimental outposts, and other forms of collective barn raising. We'll share stories at the Headlands Center for the Arts, then... spend the weekend in nearby Bolinas learning to forage, bake bread, make food, make music, build a structure, watch films, watch stars, and become friends http://www.headlands.org/event_detail.as
