• The N. American Way of Council, a core concept here, is explained
  • Speaking from the heart

• The facilitator generally starts the sharing and the week's leader generally is the last to share

10:20 — 10:25 What is Kalikalos all about? (Facilitator)

• The combination of workshop experience with seaside holiday in which everyone coming here becomes a full member of the temporary but authentic community that is responsible for each week.
• Work is Love in Action: Our idea that working together as a focalised team is a key way to build authentic community
• The cooking of the evening meal, tending the gardens and cleaning up together give us the opportunites to practice working together holistically and building community
