A home with a purpose: compare notes at OpenVillage Fest?
Hi @Alan_Murray I would like to invite you to join us in Brussels later this year (19-21 october) for a fairly intimate community event: It’s called OpenVillage and we are coordinating with people who share some of your values, with projects and lifestyle approaches to giving and receiving better care to support a thriving, good life.
We’ll see attending others who are doing coliving in a connected set of houses, or who did the hippie communes back int he days, or who run spaces for getting better health together i.e. prevention but dont live there; others are doing mobile instantiations of temporary or permanent home living, again often with the purpose of providing some form of care: mobile clinics i.e. footcare; 4x4 firefighter truck flat fully equipped for work and hacking our economic operating systems;
Some of the things being discussed at the moment are:
- acceptance and learning when you live with your co-workers
- governance for emotional safety of relationships
- learning to ensure collective mental wellbeing
- the practicalities of organising and using the common space
Would you be interested in joining and helping design an interesting session to compare notes around an issue which interests you?
Anyone else interested to shape something like this? Especially if you dont feel like just presenting a project and could use a more thoughtful conversation curated (with care!): @asimong , @johncoate , @Michael_Dunn , @Lauren , @Matthias , @Natalia_Skoczylas .
