About the Organizations

What we do

CommunityFinders is the online support network for those committed to finding their community.

You (human) aren’t designed to live in isolation.

Unfortunately, 60% of American adults report feeling lonely on a regular basis. Loneliness negatively impacts our mental wellbeing as well as our sense of belonging and purpose.

Meanwhile, there are hundreds of intentional communities with openings for new residents right now. Loneliness doesn’t have to be the only choice.

We’re on a mission to solve the affordable housing crisis, mitigate climate change, and put an end to loneliness — all through community living.

You and your family can thrive in a values-based residential community, such as an ecovillage, agrihood, housing coop, tiny house village, and more. By sharing resources within communities, we all can enjoy more affordable and far more sustainable lifestyles than what mainstream housing options can provide.

An intentional community is a group of people who choose to live together on the basis of explicit common values. They come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and levels of sharing — so it’s possible to find one that fits your lifestyle.

Intentional communities are not cults, and they aren’t quite HOAs either.

Even if you want to start a community yourself, it’s best to gain experience by spending time in one or more existing communities, of which there are hundreds, if not thousands in most corners of the world.

Whether you are looking for a unique travel experience, educational opportunity, or your forever home — we are here to support you.

Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Coweeta is located in a beautiful and diverse temperate rain forest. It feels very remote here yet we are just 12 miles from Franklin, NC. Winters can be mild. Coweeta is blessed with springs and a stream, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife. Power is provided by a hydro-electric system which is not connected to the grid. An organic garden and trout pond provide healthy food that is also shared with the local community. Hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities are just out the back door. Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity. Simply put (no pun intended): We wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.” It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives. Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”. An example of this, in the tradition of many Indigenous People”, is to gather, and use wildcrafted foods as part of our diet. There is great joy in going to nature’s grocery for our sustenance. Voluntary Simplicity is based on the recognition that “very little is needed to live well” and that “abundance is a state of mind.” Living lower on the economic ladder allows us more time and freedom to pursue other life goals: community and social engagement, family time, artistic or intellectual projects, more fulfilling employment, political participation, sustainable living, spiritual exploration, and more. According to the Voluntary Collective, “The grounding assumption of Voluntary Simplicity is that all human beings have the potential to live meaningful, free, happy and infinitely diverse lives while consuming no more than an equitable share of (the world’s) resource
