Organized by John and Rebecca Bush of Live Free Academy:

The Intentional Community Summit


The first and only VIRTUAL gathering of world-class intentional community building pros showing you step-by-step how to either … FIND and MOVE into an intentional community ... START your own community ... or connect with others to GROW your community into a self-sufficient, off-grid oasis of freedom
The Intentional Community Summit goes LIVE on February 21st - 23rd
(12pm to 5pm Central)
Day 1 & 2 are FREE to watch LIVE
Day 3 is only available for VIP ticket holders





Our own Paul Wheaton is a speaker.


There are 3 types of people who would benefit from this:

#1) You want to MOVE into an existing intentional community
You’re going to have the opportunity to find and match up with communities ready for members just like you. Plus, you’ll learn what living in a community is really like so you can prepare to transition to this new lifestyle.

#2) You want to START your own intentional community
You’re going to receive some of the best strategies and tactics for successfully building community from those who have been there and done it.

#3) You want to GROW the intentional community you already operate and live in
You’ll get the chance to connect with attendees at this summit who may be willing to join your community, and you’ll connect with other community founders and builders who will share their wisdom for expanding your community.

The idea of intentional community is fascinating to me.

I can't wait to learn a thing or two; especially get some insight from Paul himself!

I am so thankful for this event!   I spend a lot of time trying to help people find their way to the life they really want.  


John and Rebecca Bush have done a beautiful job of building a blueprint so folks can find a path that works for them and decide what the next steps are.

Everything is better together.

For me, the hardest part has been finding a way to pay for all the projects and building infrastructure.

This woman, Kelly Krezek has made that her life's work.  She is discussing business plans and how to attract investors to help build your dreams of a grand permaculture paradise.

Kelly focuses on creating living systems that move people past basic needs into thriving and living their best life ever.

John and Rebecca mentioned how much they enjoyed reading Paul's book "Skills to Inherit Property (SKIP)"

Here is a little video to explain the idea of  "SKIP"

Hello Amy!


In the email I got when I signed up, it says they will add the schedule to the page soon.  

I am glad you are getting to see this!  I think it will be really helpful for you, especially the Community Matchmaking session on Sunday!

I found the schedule at their LINK from the email registration response.  They have a Live Chat that is open the schedule was on there

The schedule starts at NOON today Saturday I'm assuming NOON Bastrop TX time (central?)
Having attended online training sessions before, what typically happens is I receive an email with link(received when I registered)
 
THEN, topic by topic I receive a TXT MSG reminder a few minutes before each class/topic starts.  Then I hit the link from my email or go to the YouTube channel or wherever it is as an open window on my device.

Then I join the chat line
Then the host usually yip yaps awhile as people arrive online
The CHAT LINE is where the interesting people are!!!
Be sure to enter questions on the CHAT LINE if offered as an opportunity, as the speakers sometimes leave time for answering questions
The schedule moves at a madcap rate, probably no Q&A
🧑‍🌾🙏

Haven village is in Tennessee.  There is such beauty in the landscape and their home designs.  I have been watching there folks grow their community since I met them at the Exit and Build event in Texas.  I am really excited to see how much they have grown their vision!





They are focusing on creating healthy, non toxic homes.  Places where people can come and heal.
It is really great to see people getting so much done.  They are being successful, growing their community and living their dreams.

The regenerative culture talk from Ecuador was quite heartwarming.  Their historic culture of healing and earth generated power was the highlight of my day at this seminar.
  The regenerative healing they discussed was human culture and ourselves and each other and our connectivity to all that is around us.
