MoS took a road trip to Earthdance retreat center and creative living community. We went up for Sustainability Sunday which I wanted to rename “The Sunday Commons” when I heard about it this summer.

The event was created to build community. They Invited Pioneer Valley farmers, congregations, artist groups, businesses, co-operatives, and individuals who just want to connect, be creative, eat together and share talents.

To me this was like creating a space that offers what a common town center offers; connectivity, idea sharing, news, and serendipitous encounters.

The day “Sustainable Sunday” 11/17/13 at Earthdance was so meaningful, useful and successful.

The next one will be hosted by Lupinwood community in Greenfield MA. Like a moving rural commons! Woohoo!
