The Beauty of Eating Together
Systems and Priorities for Sharing Food
Time: 1pm - 2:30
Location:
Most collective houses have spent many hours over several days discussing and sorting out the food systems within their household.
Even still, it is a constantly evolving process. Logistical decisions and schedules for food are but the means to
a wonderful, magical meeting of spirits over a table of lovingly crafted foods. Through this workshop we hope to inspire you
in your pursuit of collective food by providing some ideas, resources, and tools to spark discussion within your own lives.
Hosted by collective house residents. Food tour included.

Conflict and Communication
Learn about, discuss, and practice effective communication styles, tips to avoid common pitfalls, and conflict resolution techniques.
Time: 1pm - 2:30
Location:
This workshop is designed to introduce participants to some of the basic principles underlying effective communication and conflict resolution.
First, we will discuss "speech acts," including assessments and assertions; these are the ways in which we use communication to change the
world around us. We will explore how to make the intention behind communication explicit, and practice ways to communicate effectively.
We'll also talk about avoiding common pitfalls of daily interaction, such as giving unsolicited advice. After an activity and a short break,
we will move on to the psychology of interpersonal power. Having deconstructed the grammar of human conflict (including what to expect
in a typical argument), we will practice "VOMPing" - a conflict resolution technique. Finally, we'll wrap up by discussing this technique's
relationship to the formal practice of "Transformative Mediation."

Exploring Models of Home Ownership and Financing to Create lasting and Secure Collective Households

Eco-Tour of a Collective House
How Collective Living Minimizes Urban Footprints

Location:
During this session, we will tour a collective home and highlight all the systems that reduce the collective ecological footprint
of a large house and allow each member to lead an active and full life beyond the home. By sharing the work, you will see how much
can be done when we all work together towards common goals. Waste, water, energy, food, and toxins will all be covered
along with your questions and queries!
