Join us for a dialogue on the topic of high rents and the desire for compelling community interaction which is driving leaders in the cultural innovation and high tech communities to consider co-living in ten to fifteen person cooperative communities as an optimal solution to their urban house needs. In this panel leaders, organizers, participants, and observers will discuss the trends that are supporting the growth of this new phenomena and evolving need for human socialization, and the varied issues and outcomes that are emerging from the implementation of this prototype movement in modern loving. There is a $10 suggested donation.
Panelists include Jay Standish is a designer, entreprenuer and a community catalyst who lives in co-living at The Sandbox House. And Felix Levi is challenging the tech and social innovation communities, experimenting with alternative ways of tapping into our need for interpersonal connection.
The panel is co-hosted by The Farm House, a co-living house in Berkeley that exists to promote empowerment and open collaboration and Berkeley Spark; a group of East Bay social innovation leaders producing events which provide community engagement through dialogue, interactions, collaborations. Their upcoming event,Berkeley Spark 2.0 Arts & Innovation Festival will take place on Saturday, July 19th in downtown Berkeley's Civic Center Park.
