Food for Thought

Think about the questions below as you consider what it would be like to live here day-to-day. 

When possible, discuss the topics with current residents of Earthsong Eco-Neighbourhood to broaden and deepen your exploration.

• What benefits do you hope to realise by living here?

• What are your strengths? In what ways can you imagine contributing to meetings, meals, social events, and the work of the community?

• What worries or concerns do you have about living here?

• What are your thoughts about the consensus process and our practice of decision-making? Are you able to listen respectfully, state concerns constructively, and collaborate to find solutions?

• Do you have concerns about our agreements, rules and guidelines, especially those related to participation, pets, and rentals?

• How would you expect to navigate some of the common tensions of living in community (e.g., parenting and interactions with children, maintaining positive interpersonal relationships and resolving conflicts, balancing other life demands with the responsibilities of participation)?
