I have loved each EcoTuesday I have ever held, but I have to say this past EcoTuesday was perhaps my favorite-to-date because of the amazing vibe that was created thanks to a switch of venue.
Over sixty people gathered at the Afford Eco House near Marina Del Rey this past EcoTuesday. The founder, Tatjana Luethi, nicely sums up what the home environment created in terms of setting the tone of the evening:
“People seem to enjoy the intimate and warm set up we're providing at the Afford Eco House, also known as the Tivoli House. It has become a central location for meetings and events allowing our community to discuss and challenge conventional thinking and
outdated belief systems. I think the shift going from public to private
venues reflects that shift of the current times. People are looking for
something more intimate, a space that allows them to feel comfortable, to
relax, engage and authentically and genuinely connect with others as they
explore formations and new alliances of shared purposes. We are in a time of
simplifying our lives. It's a time of contraction versus expansion, it's a
time of less than more, it's a time of smaller than bigger. We are shedding
ourselves from excess and the shallow and are learning to live a more
authentic relationship with ourselves and others.”
The home environment was not the only thing that facilitated such a warm and responsive event. We were able to dine on TRULY divine, wholesome food thanks to the generous donation by Large Marge Sustainables, a catering company.
It cannot be stressed enough that these events are possible through the attendees’ future support of our sponsors. This means next time you have a wedding or party, contact Large Marge Catering and the Afford Eco House for compostable dinner wear, etc.
These events simply are not possible without our support of their businesses.
And supporting each other is why people are finding such value in the EcoTuesday community.
After all, what good is a networking event without the follow up?
