*2008 National Cohousing Conference
*June 12-15, Bentley College, near Boston, MA

This large, national conference is presented by the Cohousing Association of
the United States (Coho/US). It features two days of pre-conference
workshops, including folks well-known to the broader intentional communities
movement, including Laird Schaub & Ma'ikwe Ludwig, Diana Leafe Christian,
and some key cohousing thought leaders, including Chuck Durrett, Katie
McCamant, Jim Leach and many others. Pre-conference community tours are also
available. These are followed by a weekend of regular conference activities.
Presentations will address everything from the basics of cohousing and
designing and building communities, to living in community and sustaining
the movement throughout the country.

Registration includes Friday night Keynote by John Abrams and reception, all
presentations on Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday Night Dinner Fund-raiser
Auction. Funds raised at our auction help support both Coho/US and the FIC.
Also included are breakfast and lunch on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.
Apartment-style dormitories with private baths (per apartment) are available
for all conference participants; if you prefer a hotel, several are nearby.
Parking is free, ample and close to the conference buildings. Campus-wide
wi-fi is available free of charge.

The best deals can be had by registering early as registration cost
increases on May 31, 2008.

Hi BCNers,

Speaking of cohousing:

Sawyer Hill EcoVillage, made up of two cohousing neighborhoods in Berlin MA,
has market-rate and Chapter 40B affordable homes available. Tours of our
construction take place every Sunday; see www.sawyerhill.org  on the events
page for specific times and location.

The applications for affordable 1, 2 and 3 BR homes are now available at
http://www.s-e-b.com/lottery/forsale.php (scroll down a bit to get to Sawyer
Hill listing). The web page includes info on the information session about
Sawyer Hill and the application process, date when applications are due, and
the date of the lottery itself.

Note that some of the state guidelines on 40B have changed since last year,
so check it out--maybe you didn't qualify before but would now.

Thanks,
Charlene DiCalogero
former cooper and future Sawyer Hill EcoVillage neighbor

      Artist Statement
  by Cameron Wilder 

        The onslaught of popular culture contains a sterilizing aspect which depresses me. Reality shows, celebrity apologies, celebrity weight loss products 
  the whole thing seems to flatten out what it means to be human. For me, painting is a way to fight back.  

        I've been asked: "If you don?t like popular culture, why do you use movie stars and such in your art?? My response is: to transmute them, to give them energy, and embed them in the realm of the personal, the dream, and the collective unconscious. To dream them onto the canvas, to use them as one?s subconscious might in a dream, only this dream can be seen by others. In this way, I like to depict the mystery and power of the inner world, which is still safe from corporate development, for want of a better phrase.  
 
  Biography ? Cameron Wilder 

        Cameron Wilder, a Bostonian, has loved art since getting lost in the illustrations of his dinosaur books as a kid. Illustrations of the natural world fascinated him with the music of their color and created space. Trips to the Museum of Fine Arts introduced him to the works of artists such as Edward Hopper, whose grandeur and melancholy stirred him; and Vincent van Gogh, whose Sunflowers seemed to contain the emotion of living stars. An English major in college who wrote poetry as an avocation for many years, he has come to find painting a more intuitive and satisfying pursuit.
