NICA Summer Gathering in Portland, Oregon
Past Events
>
> Report on Friday evening, October 12th, 2007
>
> Nearly 100 excited folks crowded into the Greenwood Senior Center to discover pathways to Intentional Community, either because of an interest in learning about or yearning to be part of such a community. The two-day gathering was sponsored by Northwest Intentional Communities Association (NICA). Diana Leaf Christian was present to share her wisdom and information with the group. We heard from Diana and had discussion about alternative ways to explore:
>
> 1) how to visit, 2) joining a community, 3) how communities can select new members, and the: 4) a) of a good vision, b) mission, c) set of agreements and, d) decision making process
> There were 12 forming and/or established communities that had tables of their "community" materials and time was given for the "seekers" to ask questions and share in a dialog. Diana is the author of two books about community, CREATING A LIFE TOGETHER and FINDING COMMUNITY.
>
> Report on Saturday, October 13th
>
> We were back in the same space with 45 folks anticipating a day long workshop with Diana. They participated in small and larger grouping assuring that each person would be able to have his/her voice heard. Role playing, workshops, and presentation were part of the day's activities. We closed with a circle that gave us the chance to reflect on the time together and to experience the hope that is present in these very days.
> Those of us who sponsored the two day gathering were also excited about the size of the group! To have so many interested in intentional community is hopeful."
