This workshop outlines foundational systems and structures that make collective living successful. We’ll look at food & shared meals, work & energy around the home (aka chores), financial options, managing collective projects, and how to start a collective house. Using years of lived experience from within the Collective House Network, within each topic we’ll consider a range of possibilities to prepare you to move forward with the pieces that are right for you.

the power of sharing food: strengthening your collective one meal at a time
Saturday, March 3 2012
Saturday, March 3 2012
afternoon 2:30 - 5:30
There are many great reasons to share food: it's less work, it increases your connection with others, it's gourmet, and it's cheaper than eating on your own! Why then, does it seem so hard to put shared food into practice? This workshop explores a range of possibilities for sharing food in a collective house, including owning food in common, and eating meals together. Leave with the tools to give it a try. Hosted at the Beehive Collective House.

homo sweet homo: queer- and trans-positivity in collective houses.Saturday, March 10 2012

What does it mean for a house to be queer- and/or trans-positive?
What might it look like to be an ally through a housemate's transition? What does "gender balance" in a house mean when gender is complicated? Explore these questions and more, and help to create a toolkit on gender and sexuality to take back to your house and community.
