Learners' Trek Community (forming)
is a community forming based on the life long desire to learn, play and teach. A community where the pursuit of knowledge, systems thinking, personal growth, health and recreation are the main goals. There is passion, and synergy in proactive learning and play with others that satisfies the soul, matures the spirit and frees the creative juices. I envision a community of people who wish to prioritize their time and resources to learn the knowledge and skills that empowers a human being personally and in our society at large.
Walden Two Fan Site Twin Oaks was originally meant to be based on B.F. Skinner's 1948 utopian novel, Walden Two. That plan was discarded long ago...Why? And what does it mean to us today? Let us explore the nostalgia for, the idealism of, and the critiques against Walden Two. [Does not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of Twin Oaks Community.]
