Behind the Veil of the Herb Spiral with Abby Colehour
Exploring the invisible structures behind an ecovillage. Is this a community or a glorified apartment complex? What motivates us to offer our gifts here? How do we draw on diversity to adapt to changing circumstances? How do we factor in equity and inclusion into community processes? What would long-term ownership look like? Join the multi-tool community creatrix Abby as they take you on a tour of Eugene ecovillage Maitreya from the inside out, offering more questions than answers as we weave new strategies into old systems to build a world that works.
Abby has asked, that if you have extra to give, that you consider providing help for asylum seekers from central America who we are assisting in finding their footing in their new home. The first link add the Memo "Isabel" or "Diana", who have children and no work visa, and all of the money will go directly to them. The second link is for Reina, who is working but still has a ways to go towards stability. https://www.gofundme.com/f/asylum-navigation & https://www.gofundme.com/f/seeking-independence-during-asylum
