How well do you know
your neighbors? Would they watch your back if you needed it for some reason?
Do you really enjoy coming home to that remote garage door opener? Are you
safe?
What is an Intentional
Community? How is one formed? Who decides the what, when, where, how, and
how much of a community?
Do you have to live on
the same land to have an intentional community?
What about
individuality? How do you know your neighbors well while maintaining your
personal individuality?
What is consensus? Is
it actually possible for even like-minded folks in a group to agree on
something.
Can you grow your own
food? Some of it or most of it? What if you needed to do this in the future?
And what about future
energy bills? Can you ever really make your present home energy-efficient? What
will it cost? Can you afford to live on the grid at home with
air-conditioning--or--even open your windows and have cross-ventilation?
Many Texans long for a
way of life that is warmer, more cooperative, and more connected--a life
that includes caring neighbors--neighbors who watch your back--a life that
is definitely part of an intentional community.
But if you want that
in North Central Texas, is it even available? Can you make it available
where you live?
This presentation will help clear up many
of the questions that intentional communities can create. And possibly help
you find a community or create one where you live now or where you
will live in the future. |
