Come and explore what authentic community is all about.

This is the nineth in a series of intentional community weekends.

Two years ago a group of nine people met over a period of three months to explore the nature of authentic community. While they were coming together as a community themselves, they decided that in order to show what such a community would be like they would create such a community over the course of a weekend. Eventually 128 people came together at Tone River, just outside of Manjimup, for what proved to be just the first of these events. The event proved to be outrageously successful. Organisers were aware that some who came were living on exceedingly low incomes. At the end, all the money left over was put into a hat and passed around the circle of participants. People were invitated to take as much as they needed. Surprisingly more money came back in the hat than set out in the first place.

In subsequent months, other Community Building Weekends same to be organised at

  • Balingup,
  • Margaret River,
  • Noman's Lake,
  • Pinakarri (Hamilton Hill),
  • Denmark and
  • Bunbury (November 2000).

As the disaster in New York shows, we humans were meant to be living in caring and supportive community, but industrialised lifestyles makes this almost impossible.

Come and see what Intentional Community Building is all about at Popanyinning.
