We often spend Sunday that way, too. Nobody who lives at Ganas is required, or knowingly pressured, to engage in any of these conversations or activities. However, everybody is invited to participate to whatever extent they are willing. About 30 or 35 people are committed to try to express feelings and thoughts freely. We've agreed to maintain one focus at these times so that anyone that speaks can expect to have everyone's attention.
Recycling is the community's business.
Most of our work happens in 4 retail stores called Every Thing Goes . One sells crafts, gifts, books, fabric, toys, household things, jewelry, etc. The second store refinishes and sells furniture, and the third offers clothing. The fourth is a gallery. The businesses are housed near the residences.
