Virtual Tour of Intentional Communities

REGISTER NOW

Thinking about joining an intentional community? Curious to learn about communities from them directly? Want to peak inside community living and get your questions answered?

The Virtual Tour of Intentional Communities is the event experience for you! Each month we bring together a variety of new and established intentional communities — ecovillages, cohousing, shared homes, coliving spaces and more — to present about about their community in an interactive setting. You’ll experience photos, videos, captivating stories, and insightful dialogue among the presenting communitarians. Plenty of time is included for you to ask your burning questions about community living. Come travel to communities around the world without leaving your armchair!

What you’ll get from the Virtual Tour experience:

• Deeper insight into the lives of communitarians and the places they live
• Inspiration to get you excited about your own community journey
• Information about housing and membership opportunities
• Network building with presenters and fellow participants
• A sense for what’s alive in the communities movement right now

This Month’s Presenting Communities…

Rainwater Collective

The Rainwater Collective is a fledgling ecohamlet in North Carolina seeking hardworking, adventurous folks to help get this dream off the ground. We’ll have a high level of interdependence and resource sharing- community kitchen with shared meals every day, shared community garden, barn, sauna/bath-house and small individual or family dwellings. Income-sharing is optional but not required, and the community is radically affordable- no buy-in fee and no one turned away for lack of funds. 

 

GreenRise Community

Founded in 1963, the GreenRise Intentional Community is urban community focused on sustainability in Chicago, Illinois. There are 33 residents living on two floors of the ICA GreenRise Learning Laboratory. We range from 1-somethings to 70-somethings and are racially/ethnically/gender diverse.

 

Pan African Eco-communities Network

The Pan African Eco-communities Network (PEN) Initiative was set up in 2014 as part of the preparation for the Global Ecovillage Summit 2014, in Dakar-Senegal. It serves as an alliance between rural and urban intentional/traditional communities across the continent of Africa. Through the sharing of best practices and innovative solutions and the honoring of deep-rooted African traditional knowledge and local cultures, the PEN Initiative seeks to create a pool of wisdom platforms for sustainable living at the continental scale.
