As I am finishing up Commune Life, here, on Facebook, and on our Wordpress blog, this is probably the most important thing I'd like anyone approaching or thinking of building a community to know. It's truly about relationships.

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.

Bubbles and Gatekeeping
Curated online spaces feel like relief—but hand-picking who gets in is still gatekeeping, just with a human face. -

"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 🎉👒

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
