Red elderberry: Alpha Farm, (Quaker Process) and Intentional Communities (and hippie communes :)


Hi Donald,

Some recent info about Alpha Farm, including a Youtube video :) ...

It looks like Mary Lou Goertzen (born 1929) lives near Alpha and still hosts Quaker Meeting on 5th Sundays in the Deadwood Valley - http://members.pioneer.net/~alpha/index.htm - and Caroline Estes (http://alphainstitute.org/presenters.html), is one of Alpha's visionaries who still does workshops on consensus (Quaker-informed, and nontheistically Friendly, in a sense, too), I think.

Did you ever visit Olompali Park in the early '70s after the Grateful Dead, as well as "The Chose, Family" were there? ...
