Back to the Land 2.0 - a gathering celebrating Dragonfly Farm's 30th anniversary and expanding on its legacy

This year, the intentional rural community called Dragonfly Farm marks its 30th anniversary. "Back to the Land 2.0" is a gathering celebrating this historic occasion and expanding on Dragonfly's legacy.

At this gathering we'll be reflecting on the ideals of the back-to-the-land movement of the 70s and 80s, and exploring how to make those ideals relevant and practical today.

Some workshops will build concrete skills in sustainable building, nurturing of local ecology, and co-operative organization. Other workshops will address broader issues, including our relationships with First Nations and Métis people, and the growing resistance to uranium mining. We also aim to contribute practically to building projects at Dragonfly Farm and the nearby Black Fly Sustainable Living Education Co-operative.

This is a public event. We are especially inviting people from the area, members of Dragonfly and other intentional communities, and people who are interested in joining, creating or connecting with such communities.

Overall, we hope that organizing this gathering will build trust and comradeship among diverse people. We are open to more workshop proposals and welcome volunteers in all areas. If you have ideas or resources to share, please don't hesitate to contact us at info@backtotheland20.ca. More information will be posted at www.backtotheland20.ca as things come together (email and website will be online by end of June).
