30 years of building community, and a movement

A lot’s changed in the last 30 years. The internet alone as transformed just about everything. We constantly hear stories from people about how they found their community through the online Directory. Having a website is just a given today, but www.ic.org was started back in 1994 (not without considerable concern and skepticism), when two-letter domain names were still available.

The intentional communities movement has become, well, a movement, something to be studied, and something people can find not just a home in but a career path. Check out the blog posts below for more.

30 Years of Service to the Intentional Communities Movement

For 30 years the FIC has provided networking and support to co-ops, land trusts, Cohousing, ecovillages, communes, and collective living of all kinds. We’ve helped people find communities, helped communities find people, and helped people who want to start communities find each other. We’ve also been a face and point of interaction for media, researchers, and allied movements.
