Powerful Talks to Inspire Your Community

Featured speaker at…

Cynthia is a leading speaker and educator on intentional communities — ecovillages, cohousing, coliving, housing cooperatives, permaculture communities, and the like.

Loneliness, rising housing costs, growing divisiveness, and climate crisis are all driving a movement towards starting and joining intentional communities.

Far from the stereotypical hippy commune, these communities are accessible to people from a wide range of backgrounds and walks of life. They offer profound insights into how families, seniors, teams, and organizations can build lasting communities.

Having traveled to over a hundred intentional communities around the world, Cynthia’s stories offer an inspiring and practical perspective on how we can come together to face the challenges of our times. She provides listeners with tools for community building and resources for engaging with this growing movement.

As an engaging speaker, Cynthia helps people discover alternative residential communities for inspiration, insight, and practical action.
