I, too, am intimately acquainted with intentional communites! I live with 8 other partners on 50 acres we went in on nearly 30 years ago. When i first lived "in community" (besides students sharing a large house during university days) i was in the community which co-edited Communities Magazine along with Twin Oaks. One of the most recent Communities Magazines is about aging and growing old in community. It is now published in Sandhills community in missouri.

There is another effort that i think deserves some attention and that is In Harmony in Corvalis, Oregon. Greg Brown loves this project & has doen several benefit concerts and c.d.'s for them. (One of them, Solid Heart, is based on a poem by one of the kids looking for a home) The goal is to create a space to house young people and older people who all need homes. and Senior center/orphanage type village.

***OH--BY THE WAY, there is 80 acres (2 40 acre parcels) adjoining the 50 acres we are on which will be on the market soon and would make an ideal location for such a Village!! it has a creek, southern exposure, meadows and wooded land, and...and....I showed the place to some people who are looking land for a group living space. they thought it had potential.

See also: Co-Housing--the co-housing movement is growing and many people are finding that sharing space is a great solution for economic, ecological and cultural reasons..google this and find out.
