2007 Conference: Women Living in Community - From Dreaming to Doing
Our initial, ground-breaking conference, held in 2007, was designed to be interactive opportunities for participants to learn, share and create together alternative living options. The conference attracted over 90 women, from the
United States and Canada, who listened to our conference speakers….
♥ Diana Leafe Christian, Author; and Editor, Communities Magazine
♥ Maureen K. McCarthy, Creator of the State of Grace Document
♥ Joan Medlicott, Author of the Ladies of Covington novels
♥ Dene Peterson, Founder/Developer for ElderSpirit Community
♥ Joy Silver, President/CEO RainbowVision Properties
….. and then created their own conversation utilizing Open Space Technology (www.openspacemeetings.com) – a powerful tool which recognizes the experience and wisdom of each individual present.
Held in Asheville, North Carolina, in July, 2007, the conference was an enormous success evidenced by the continuing conversations amongst those who attended and the actions that many have already taken to make changes in their lives and create their desired future.
“We came home psyched from the WLIC conference. We have been telling everyone about how well thought through, organized and hospitable your event was. The spirit of collaboration and connectiveness was always there from top to bottom! And you inspired us to meet you in kind…. Congratulations on a Wonderfully Inspiring Conference!! ”
" I love Open Space – bringing our power to the moment."
