So, this is a real good use for mansions and estates everywhere -- #CommunityHousing !

We all share a 15-acre Georgian mansion for the price of a two-bed house

Natalie Grice, 29 August 2026

"Dreams of living in a Georgian manor house with 15 acres of grounds would usually be associated with a big lottery win.

"But for the residents of Dol-llys Hall on the outskirts of Llanidloes, Powys, no windfall was necessary.

"The Grade II listed building is home to a collection of ordinary people who have chosen to live cooperatively - sharing responsibility for maintaining the home and its grounds and trying to live as sustainably as possible.

" 'You have got a ready-made village mentality where people just help each other out,' says Louise Robinson, one of the longest serving of 10 residents at the hall.

" 'There's six other flats going 'what can we do?' And that means a lot."
Louise Nicholson is a middle-aged white woman with shoulder length dark grey hair. She wears grey framed photo-reactive glasses, a light blue v-neck t-shirt with a lily pad white emblem on the front. She is smiling at the camera. Behind her is the main entrance to Dol-llys Hall. There are two dark wooden doors with arched fanlights above which open from the middle of a curved porch-type entrance. The building is painted yellowy-cream. There are arched windows to the left of the door visible. A mop handle and a piece of wooden furniture can be seen to the right of the doors.

"The hall, which has served as a school and a care home as well as a former stately home over the years, now holds seven flats within its walls and a number of #communal living areas and #SharedFacilities like washing machines and heating.

"Louise first came across Dol-llys after she was made redundant from her insurance job in London. She found herself spending more and more time away from the city, enjoying walking in the rural countryside, and realised she wanted to live there permanently.

" 'I'm a single person, so moving to a country village on your own is not that easy,' she says.

" 'Somebody mentioned [intentional] communities and said 'have you heard about them?''

"After investigating quite a few, she knew she did not want to live somewhere where she only had a bedroom and everything else was shared. And at Dol-llys, where she moved in early 2020, she found the perfect combination of community and privacy.

" 'We term ourselves as #cohousing, because we all have our separate flats,' she says, and that the set-up is not a commune.

" 'We share the grounds, we share the common rooms, we share responsibilities and decision-making, but we all have our front doors, which I think is important to everybody who chooses to live here.' "

Black intentional communities have a long history in America Here’s a video focused on the history and current examples suggested by Serenity Solidarity.

"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."

Really excited to be at #Feÿtopia this week for "Open Science & Human Pyramids"!

https://feytopia.com/events/openscience-humanpyramids2

I've been looking for an excuse to visit since I heard about it at the #LondonNightCafe and I'm so excited to spend the week here bringing together thoughts and conversations around #OpenResearch, #WorkersCoops, and #IntentionalCommunities! 🤓🤩✨

I'll be partly wearing my @digiresacademy community manager hat too, and telling folks about our community and work 🎉👒

#Feytopia #OpenScience

Here's three ways to be involved with communities.

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".

How to change the world, a bit at a time?

#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!!!

#NewOrleans #intentionalcommunities #MutualAid Hello... in 5 days I will put on a train to NOLA,. I cannot get out of this trip. Please help. I could also use transportation to somewhere else, but that's even tougher to nail down apparently. Thanks!

What do you think is MORE EFFECTIVE against climate change, inequality and cruelty?
