Hi Angela, thanks for joining us. Feel free to customize your page, post questions, thoughts, articles, photos, videos, make friends, message privately, join or create groups.

We look forward to your participation in anchoring our vision with your expertise and experience as we seek to live more sustainably and equitably. We plan a wide range of programs and your input will be welcome.

We meet WEEKLY due to the enormity of the challenges and the urgency needed to address the issues that face us - Tuesdays 7 pm at Emergence Community Arts Collective, 733 Euclid Street NW, WDC 20001. We've been following a schedule something like this:
1st week - Food & Farming
2nd week - Transition
3rd week - Film
4th week - Planning & Networking
5th week when there's one - Special guest
but any can be trumped by urgent matters arising. For example, we devoted the first meeting in 2009 to building the infrastructure for an alternative local economy based on time banks and/or local currency.

While we have a few members who share the vision of living in community we have not focused much on this, perhaps because it is requires so much to bring it about, that we have tended to see it as a long-term development, and have been occupied with the lower hanging fruit. Perhaps you could instrumental in bringing this focus into view. This Tuesday's meeting is devoted to planning and it'd be great if you could be there to suggest ways to initiate this and organize us into doing it!

To the New Year and a brave new world!
