Twin Oaks is a community of around 105 people, aged 1-80. We are striving to live according to our values of cooperation, non-violence, sharing and equality. Since 1967, we've been learning how to provide for our own needs, both economic and social. Our businesses include making hammocks and rope chairs, making tofu, and indexing books. We grow much of our own food, and provide ourselves with many services, freeing ourselves some from dependence on the larger economy. This gathering was created by the women of Twin Oaks in order to connect us with women outside of our geographic community.
