Best of Communities Magazine – Volume II

Communities magazine is the leading publication for all topics related to intentional community. From the broad-stroked overviews to the intimate details, this quarterly publication covers it all. With so much content to explore, we’ve distilled it into a single compilation!

Seeking and Visiting Community

Are you curious about living in intentional community? Number one advise: visit first! Not only because reality may not align exactly with your mental image, but because what you think you want and what you actually want aren’t necessarily the same thing. And it’s far cheaper to discover that before you sell your home and move to another zip code.

In this book you’ll learn how to:

• get the most out of your visit
• properly set up a visit
• put your hosts at ease
• ask the right questions

The articles inside will also provide tips to communities themselves on how to deal optimally with community-seekers.

You will recognize authors leading the intentional community movement, representing cutting-edge thinking and how-to explorations of the social, ecological, and economic aspects of sustainable living.
