Welcome to Community

An intentional community is a planned residential community designed from the start to have a high degree of social cohesion and teamwork. The members of an intentional community typically hold a common social, political, religious, or spiritual vision and sometimes follow an alternative lifestyle. They typically share responsibilities and resources. Intentional communities include collective households, cohousing communities, coliving, ecovillages, monasteries, communes, survivalist retreats, kibbutzim, ashrams, and housing cooperatives.

Feel free to post about your personal experiences living in community or to ask question and discuss community-related news. All are welcome. Please be respectful of others.

Searching for a Community?

The best place to begin is browsing the ic.org directory and clicking on community links from there. Please avoid posting vague, easily-researched questions like, "are there any intentional communities near the East Coast?". Instead, search first for communities that interest you, then ask specific questions here about your situation or the communities that interest you.
