The Experience
Peace and Love, long-haired hippies, and social dropouts?
Sure, we’ve got some of that and more.
We also have over 100 people sharing 450 acres of land, 8 residence
buildings, 30 cows, 4
major businesses, and 17
cars. We are a 36 year-old experiment in community living. We
have created our own form of governance, methods of communicating,
cultural standards, and our own system of economics. We strive for
environmental sustainability, egalitarianism, and non-violence,
and we work consciously against classism, sexism and ageism in our
culture. (more

We can tailor our presentation to the needs of your class; we’ve
done everything from a half hour-long overview of the community,
to a three-hour discussion on gender. We have both traditional slides
and digital pictures (we can also draw on chalkboards). We are comfortable
speaking in many different settings: academic classrooms, informal
roundtable discussions, lectures to thousands in huge auditoriums…
we can do it all. (more details on workshops)
"I
thought your presentation was wonderful: so gracious, so challenging,
so good at meeting the students where they were. You opened their
eyes to worlds most didn't even know existed. For some, that was
daunting. For others, it was troubling. And for a few, it clearly
opened ideas and possibilities that had not been there before.
Thanks! And come again soon. We need what you have to say."
