I was pleased to discover this article about Ireland's first ecovillage:

Ireland’s eco-village at Cloughjordan
Ireland's claimed "first eco-village" has recently begun construction in County Tipperary, adjacent to the traditional rural village of loughjordan, which traces its history back to the 13th century.  Consisting of 130 new homes on 67 acres that will include a working farm, "The Village," as it is now known, will become part of the town of Cloughjordan.

The Fellowship for Intentional Community has announced a new Wiki devoted to issues and information about intentional community. So far the categories are: types of community, finding your community, starting a community, building community, community skills & resources, related topics, and historical communities.

As the site explains...

An "intentional community" is a group of people who have chosen to live together with a common purpose, working cooperatively to create a lifestyle that reflects their shared core values. The people may live together on a piece of rural land, in a suburban home, or in an urban neighborhood, and they may share a single residence or live in a cluster of dwellings.

This definition spans a wide variety of groups, including (but not limited to) communes, ecovillages, student cooperatives, land co-ops, cohousing groups, monasteries and ashrams, kibbutzim, and farming collectives. Although quite diverse in philosophy and lifestyle, each of these groups places a high priority on fostering a sense of community--a feeling of belonging and mutual support that is increasingly hard to find in mainstream Western society.


FIC also publishes a fascinating magazine, Communities. It talks about different issues around creating and maintaining all different types of intentional communities. Students of human nature will enjoy reading it. Writers of speculative fiction may find the magazine (and the Wiki) useful for inspiration about alien cultures.

I'm interested in intentional community generally. I'm also interested in the communities that form when groups of people choose to weave their lives together in close-knit networks such as community clubs, church congregations, extended families, and so forth. It's a little harder when people aren't living together, but many of the same benefits and challenges apply.
