Welcome to world of intentional communities (IC)! If you’re just getting started, you’ve come to the right place.
In this free starter guide, you will learn about an exciting movement where people choose to co-create and live in residential communities based on shared values and cooperative culture.
We’re excited to join you on your community journey.

We regularly host 2-hour webinars and 5-week courses. We offer courses on the basics such as finding the right community or starting one yourself. And we dig into the details with courses and events on topics like decision-making, safety, and diversity. Explore all the options at our events and courses pages.
We host a free, online directory of over 1,000 intentional communities worldwide. Take a look at our map and zoom into any part of the world to find intentional communities located there. Or, use the Advanced Search to explore communities by details like decision-making process or dietary restrictions.
