Community Living Wisdom Exchange (Mission District SF, 2-day, in person)
The Fold, 3359 26th St., San Francisco, CA, US52 attendees from 7 groupsWith hundreds of community houses in the SF Bay Area, and many more beyond, there is so much collective wisdom within our communal living ecosystem. But it can be difficult to harness that powerful experience and stand on each other’s shoulders without ways to gather and share learnings.
Join us for a 2-day conference with three parallel sessions, interactive activities, art, reflection, connection, refreshments and meal(s) where we aim to change that.
