I live in what might be called an intentional community,
Although i am not sure how intentional it is. We have,
however been sharing this 50 acres for over 30 years.
Of the 8 partners in this partnership, 7 of us just
spent the last 3 1/2 hours at our quarterly meeting.

I used to work on a publication with my former land
partners: Communities Magazine. Together with a "sister"
group in Virginia we edited and distributed this periodical.
It is still in circulation. For more info see:
http://fic.ic.org/cmag/
the Fellowship of Intentioanl Communities publishes the
magazine , holds conferences and compiles a list of
Communities. http://www.ic.org/

Co-operatives and Collectives exist in many situations.

the Co-Housing movement is gaining momentum. to find out more:
www.cohousing.org/ or google cohousing or co-housing.
There are groups in UK , Canada and elsewhere..

feel free to p.m. me if you have any other questions..
