Economic Democracy Training
Join us THIS SUMMER at the Economic Democracy Training, August 1-6, 2024 in the Blue Ridge Mountains
Immerse yourself in a transformative 5-day journey for unlocking ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY through cooperative leadership, sustainable living, and a holistic exploration of systems change.

- Do you want to learn how communities can gain control over their economies for the benefit of all of their residents?
- Would you like to become part of the cooperative movement transforming the workplace and our economy?
- Are you interested in sustainable approaches to local food production?
Then we invite you to join us for an immersive five-day training that will empower you with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to make a difference in your community.
What you will get out this training:
1. Learn about the different dimensions of economic democracy where people decide how to develop a productive, thriving economy for all.
2. Explore the history and future trajectories of the cooperative model, emphasizing its role as a key driver of societal change.
3. Enhance your leadership skills and values through workshops on team dynamics, cooperation skills, and community engagement.
4. Immerse yourself in the daily rhythms of a holistic land community, by participating in garden chores, permaculture workshops, and hikes through the surrounding mountains and stunning waterfall.
5. Engage in yoga and meditation classes to find inner balance and clarity.
6. Connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion for change. Harness the power of networking and unity as you build lasting relationships with fellow participants.
Through workshops, experiential activities, field trips, and collective living, this training will provide a perfect opportunity for personal growth, community building, and social transformation.
