"Practical Homosteading" webinar
In May 2021, The Rêve hosted a webinar along with our badass comrade and financial advisor Hadassah Damien of Ride Free Fearless Money on the subject of starting YOUR OWN queer intentional community. Usually we ask folks to kick us a few bucks via Patreon to access the file, but if you came all this way, this one's on the house. Let us know if you find it helpful!
🌈 PRACTICAL HOMOSTEADING 🚜
✨Queer Intentional Community-Building Beyond the Daydream✨
So many of us have overlapping dreams of building chosen family and sanctuary, from sharing real estate listings of abandoned mansions to trying to subsistence farm on apartment fire escapes. But what does it actually take? 🧐
How do we choose the right people to build with? How do we build with personal, interpersonal, and environmental sustainability? How do we use legal tools to create structures of interdependence and mutual aid outside the nuclear family model? How do we catch and fight the ways that capitalism, white supremacy, and other anti-liberatory frameworks creep into our collaborations? How do we make our homes into sanctuaries to practice a better way of being with each other and with the planet? Join members of the Rêve, a trans intentional community in the Hudson Valley, for a practical and hopeful panel on bringing the dream into reality. 🏡
Panel includes Andy Izenson, Senior Legal Director of the Chosen Family Law Center, Hadassah Damien, a financial strategist specializing in chosen families, and Cal Trumann, climate justice and renewable energy professional, and is moderated by Ryan Ong. Live captioned!
