Hi. My name is Donal. I’m a Clinical Psychologist interested in permaculture and the social technologies needed for thriving communities. I’ve been living in Madison, WI cohousing for about 15 years. Really excited to have found this space.

I’m hoping to learn if there are various tool kits out there for living in community, everything from legal to forms of self-governance, resolving conflicts, etc. I have read a lot of books and have the practical cohousing experience. I’m excited to take some of the courses offered here.

I’d love to connect with anyone around the topic of assembling or accessing a list of resources and ideas that can be deployed and/or consulted at various stages of the community-building process. My own attempts with this are here: https://oneplanetthriving.com/2015/05/social-technologies/
