Description: 

You are invited to an introductory meeting for a Cooperative Community Center Eco Village I see us building in New Haven, specifically in West Rock. The name of this project is coming soon.

Tuesday, November 7 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Common Ground High School, 
358 Springside Ave. New Haven. 
Dinner will be served by Ninth Square Market Caribbean Style!

I chose the first meeting to be on Election day hoping that folks will have some flexibility, and to represent and realize us activating our freedoms to choose and participate in our world, individually and collectively. I am ready to present the vision I've held for several years now- In a nutshell, to build (co-create) a cooperative community center and eco village. I have been talking with folks of all ages and walks of life informally about it over the years, and am moving to make it a reality. Good living. Intersectional, Horizontal leadership, in a beautiful space to hold workshops, festivals, classes, healing sessions, etc. There will be a food farm and commercial kitchen. I want to build this with as much sustainable Earth ship qualities as possible, and to have tiny houses surrounding the center common spaces- where people can live long-term, on residencies, or even use as airbnb's. The idea is to reconnect people with birthright of land access and to have power in deciding and contributing to the community, regardless of factors which have been limiting thus far (money, race, etc.) All resources and events will be sliding scale. At the meeting I will present a business plan, vision of success, list of guiding principles, and some drawings/maps. Feel free to share this and to introduce me to people who are already doing this work or who want to contribute in some way. Whether for development stages or down the road once we are up and running. I am calling in especially those who are passionate, skilled, open, connected, aware, and dedicated. Evolving.  Please RSVP. Here or at kbeatjones@gmail.com. Include your name(s) please. If you can't come and want to receive email updates, let me know. Have a beautiful week and I hope to see you on the 7th; Blessings, Katie
