The one that most appeals to me right now is the last one - co-living and co-working for a week. Finding myself in a later stage of life than you two, I am noticing that many of the conversations I have with same-aged people are about what to do with the precious time left to us. For me that means trying to make sure I am doing what I love doing -- writing and reading, engaging with people (like you) who are curious, inquiring and reflective, and enjoying good food.
That's (only partly perhaps) different from contemplating livelihood and leadership. But I thirst for the sparkling conversations Jean and I always seem to have with you and Nati. It's been too long since the last one.
Oh no Ali I was reviewing my old blog posts and I just realised I never got back to you about visiting. Forgive me for the oversight! I got a bit overwhelmed with all the coordination in the house. Will love to see you somewhere in our travels this year :)
Ali it is so sweet to hear from you. We will love to host you! We have a bit more planning to do to figure out what dates we'll open the house for co-living. But I'll make a note to let you know when we have the schedule worked out.
well well, you share a birthday with my husband (which happens to be the day after my own!)! I somehow do not find this surprising in the least bit. I’m very excited to see this test run for the retreat center and looking forward to what you’ll learn and create along the way.
No problem.
Do you have an approximate itinerary, or will it EMERGE?!
we just completed 3 months of intensively planned d structured time so I'm hungry for a bit of chaos before we lock in anything again!
You've written a wonderful detailed account of the experiment. Some of the practices could be used in a normal household !
What a brilliant programme of activities!

Feytopia seems like it could belong on the pilgrimage route: https://feytopia.com/en/community
I haven't been there but I met two beautiful people who are part of that community.
They seem to also focus on gathering people together for 3 months and doing something together so there are a lot of part time people there.
I am interested in the community leadership cohort! But Europe feels so far away so i am not sure I will make it.
But if I end up going to Romania to visit family this winter I might swing by!
