Expect enchanting stories to take you into the world of of the mythical and magical.

COMMUNITY: How do we create and maintain it?

Last year Rawley and Stevie ran a talk on the Coed Community which has been running for over 25 years. It has had many ups and downs. This is a questions and answers session for anyone who is interested in joining a community or setting one up. We invite you to share your thoughts and questions, and to learn from our lessons!

This talk will be in the Main Barn.

THE HISTORY OF COED

Rawley Clay, Son of Bill and Gill Clay, was born at Coed and has spent most of his life living in and around Coed Hills. He is the founder of Coed Rural Art Space, and the main driver behind the entire vision of Coed. Without Rawley there would simply be no Coed! He will be giving a bit of history behind the establishment of Coed and opening up to questions and answers.

THE BOTTEGA PROJECT

John Whitehead, long term friend and part time resident of Coed will be sharing his visions of The bottgea project.

The Bottega Project aims to generate a model for change to a sustainable, compassionate way of life at a city scale.

It works on a joined up thinking, whole systems basis, , driven by conversations and collaboration at a community level.
