Hei @CynthiaWeber, thank you so much for joining and taking the time to write, I realise it is not easy to join a new online platform 
You hit the nail in the head! This is even a harder question: who are the ‘members’ of The Reef? At the moment, we are doing different things at the same time - looking for a building (we have a meeting in November with the Commune of Forest!), also also looking for the people who actually see themselves living with others in what I see is a life project. This takes time, because it is a self selecting process, and it becomes a chicken egg problem: who’s to say how it should work if the people involved don;t yet have a direct stake in it (financial or social)? Like Malcolm says in this interview,
I have to be careful on dispersing capital to a project like the Reef because the risk of losing it all is
big. The trust that has to be defined is Trust with capital T.
What we can confidently do is lay the groundwork for some specifics which can later be adapted by the people staying on with this process. A session on the sociality of The Reef will definitely be part of the Co-design Sprint. I could really use help with that, would you want to help prepare it?
Perhaps we could meet a few days before and see how to best facilitate it? Thank you!!
