Many and perhaps most intentional communities are overwhelmingly and often completely white. Sky Blue, ex-Twin Oaker and former director of the Foundation for Intentional Community, directly addresses this in this video as well as what white folks in communities can do.

It seems like lots of folks want to start their own community. Paxus (long time member of Twin Oaks Community) has some advice if that's what you want to do.

"What intentional communities can teach us about resilience amid global instability

As conflict intensifies in the Middle East, energy markets swing wildly and the cost of living keeps climbing, a pressing question is emerging for anyone who is tied in to the fluctuating energy and food markets: how do we build resilience?

Big political and economic solutions still matter. But they take time. Increasingly, attention is turning closer to home, and to communities themselves.

Among these, intentional communities – once seen as niche – stand out as an increasingly viable option. Intentional communities are groups of people that share land and resources collectively. They can include cohousing and housing cooperatives as well as other projects. These communities do not constitute an escape from the world, but a way of coping with it. In some cases, they are already softening the shocks of global instability.

(. . .)

A 2023 study of 18 intentional communities in England and Wales found they were able to quickly build on their existing and well-established social infrastructure. Regular contact, shared decision-making and mutual support helped people cope. In uncertain times, that kind of connection matters. It reduces isolation and makes crises easier to navigate."

The Community Conference occurs every year at Twin Oaks in Virginia on Labor Day weekend. It happens in spite of the fact that the organizers often are just putting it together on the fly.

Tomorrow, in the 5th Annual Virtual #IntentionalCommunities Conference "Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole" > https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-intentional-communities-conference-2025/ at UTC 19:00 we'll talk about "Roots of #Sociocracy: #ComplexSystems, relationships, #holons, emergent properties and life the #chaordic space (learning from natural complex systems from a biological POV)".
Visual support material is already online on https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVJmvXSbU=/

Eco-village living and construction, global transformation and volunteer work aren't for everyone. For those who do want these things though, here is an option. Could a global cooperative of eco-villages help write the next positive chapter in the ever evolving human story? We think it can.

Hello @smallcircles and @indieterminacy !

Yes, they were always recorded and some of those videos were made public. :)

The conference is great and it deserves to be experienced through. While the main focus is #Sociocracy and #IntentionalCommunities, there is a lot more there (as the one on complex systems). :)

I hope to see you all there or discuss later new things learned... :D

If you are interested in #Sociocracy or #Peer #Governance, this next Saturday 22 will be the "5th Annual Intentional Communities Conference — Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole" > https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-intentional-communities-conference-2025/

Surely not the best part, but I will participate in a Advocate for Sociocracy in #IntentionalCommunities Circle open session and will share some thoughts (and dialog) about "Roots of Sociocracy: #ComplexSystems, relationships, #holons, #EmergentProperties and life in the #chaordic space".

Sharing can take many different forms, including sharing housing. While I advocate for communal living, there are lots of ways of sharing a living situation.

#CoLiving

Co-living is about living well with housemates, intergenerational homes and in intentional communities like eco-villages. Basically anything beyond the modernist nuclear family setup.

Does anyone have any resources around co-living from getting started zines to resources on setting up good housemates decision making practices.

Increasingly folks around me are exploring different configurations for living together and it raises questions around how to do this well.

Keen for resources!!!

Hello, Tradeless Earth is a project promoting moneyless society.

We don't accept funds, because it's anti-trade of course.

But we need help:

• First is finding people interested in more just,equal and sustainable world to join the conversation.

• Helping us migrate our website to their own server.
If someone has to spare.

• Helping in research about the content we add on website.

*Doesn't matter if you can spare only half hour per week. Everything counts!
