Communities Directory Print Book
New 7th edition, August 2016
Available and shipping $35

We are so grateful for our supportive community that contributed to our kickstarter campaign last fall. Together, we exceeded our goal and created an updated seventh edition of the Communities Directory!

For 25 years FIC has been building, innovating, and keeping this catalog fresh. We are your complete online and printed catalog of intentional communities in the US, and all over the planet. In this seventh edition, we offer to you not only over 1,200 communities, but also full-page maps showing where communities are located, charts that compare communities by more than 30 different qualities, and an easy index to find communities interested in specific pursuits.

Thanks to your support and your patience, the book is now complete! We are ready to ship!

View a video about the book and the project on our kickstarter campaign page.

“There’s never been a moment when we need connection quite as badly: connection between people who have figured out new/old ways of living on this planet. This book is a resource, because the communities in this book are a resource. I mean that quite literally―the wisdom embedded in these communities is one of the few forces strong enough to make a real difference in the epic fight for the earth’s future.”

– Bill McKibben, environmental educator, Author of Deep Economy and Earth.
