The Feast Before the Fest

On the evening before the Tiny House Fest we would like to invite you to a unique and playful communal meal. At one gorgeous long table circled by tiny houses, we will gather as organizers, presenters, exhibitors and community leaders to connect before the we all put on the Fest. We will feast, drink and collectively talk on the important topic of creating sustainable homes, as well as equitable space and access to good design in an era of cultural, economic, and climactic shifts.

A new language for home is emerging. Philosopher Glenn Albrecht defines the sense of loss we feel as the land around us shifts and morphs as Solastalgia. He defines Soliphilia as the love of and responsibility for a place, bioregion, planet and the unity of interrelated interests within it. Anthropologist Paul Manson broadens Soliphilia to include positivity, interconnectedness and personal empowerment.

Join us as we co-make dinner, explore good design for all, and share how we have each discovered a larger life by letting go!

When: Friday, June 22, 7-9 p.m.

Where: Cersosimo Kiln Dry Lot, 46 Frost Street, Brattleboro, Vermont

What: Community Pig Roast, Grilled Polenta, Cash Bar of Beer & Cider from Whetstone Station, and conversation about home
