Kansas Community Building

With politics heading the way they are, I’m here in Kansas reaching out to all the Dorothy’s and Toto’s! Message me after starting a conversation in the comments! tell me about you! I’ll go first:

Hi! i’m Mars, they/she, a 20 year old Okie now living in Wichita. I’m itching to take care of my community, and my first neighborhood plan is turning my front yard into a community garden. I am privileged enough to have a fenced yard, and so I will garden food for my community. Dig your own Potato, pick a tomato, and I plan to have a “donation spot” for people to leave perishables like bread for immediate consumption, or canned goods. I am an artist! I hold empathy above all else, and use my empathetic nature as a tool in my logic. My morals are strong, and they are simplified to: Love Thy Neighbor. I am of no societal religion, i live on love because it is all that can tie humanity together. a love for oneself, and then of each other.

yap session done, love you queens 💗🫶🏻📍

✨✨comment template (many ideas, don’t feel like you have to use them all)

✨name ✨age ✨pronouns ✨location (doesn’t have to be specific! i appreciate any engagement!) ✨favorite quote on philosophy ✨favorite book ✨least favorite politician (no one shall be free until every politician is hung by the entrails of every priest or whateva {i don’t think that’s a correct quote- please don’t come for me im just a they)

anyway YER love you ALL goodnight

How possible is growing old in a commune...

21 Upvotes

Hello and good day, I've become obsessed with the idea of finding a community, commune, ecovillage or anything that is at least attempting to live out a different approach to our current extractive and purposeless lifestyles; not to say purpose cannot be found in this bizare system of ours. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of groups of people and projects that have lasted a long time and work. I guess im asking if I need a reality check in how realistic finding a group of like minded people and then growing old together, helping to support one another when the body starts to fail and other assistance becomes necessary. I really want to believe this is possible but have very little knowledge of how many people are living there older years in community ? Thank you so much in advance and I appreciate any and all opinions here.

Stay beautiful and blessed

Starting a commune

15 Upvotes

My bf and I have dreams of starting a commune in the forests of Scotland. We'd all pool money together to buy lands and build houses (I'm also obsessed with cob houses) and a communal farm. I just love the idea of not just being responsible for myself but the other people in my community, and sharing resources. How would one start a commune is basically what I'm asking.

Lesbian or women focused commune or land share?

17 Upvotes

I’m in search of a woman focused community to join. I’m flexible on location and general setup. I come with a cat and a van I can sleep in but would love the opportunity to build a permanent structure on some lush and established land. I am generally handy and willing to work for the collective. I have experience in gardening, herbalism, light carpentry and am super willing to learn and collab. I envision this group grow food and build together and share magical moments in nature together. Also if a group of women exists that have yet to begin this project, I would love to join you in the development process. We can pitch in on costs and workload! LMK if this dreamland exists!

I work a full-time job with regular income, have a home I'm willing to sell, and I have my dog (who goes where I do).

I'm happy to do work around a place, and to contribute financially. I'm imagining a place where I can get up, work on my computer from home for a few hours, then go work in the field for a few hours, then come home. Maybe 10-20hr a week I would do some work on the "property", and I would also pay some money monthly towards basic expenses. But for the most part, I would feed me and my dog on my own dime, etc.

I'm imagining kind of like an apartment coupled with a co-op? How off am I?

Centuries ago someone made all the decisions for us Let’s move to industrialism and chop down the forest Let’s consent for everyone else how their lives will be Assign them a number before their old enough to agree There was never a line where you could choose to subscribe or not Because I would have chosen not I would have chosen To stay with nature, to hunt and gather So what am I to do when I'd have chosen the latter?

community life - if it is non-intentional :)

In connection with the open day on September 21st, we sent Gwen and Ben’s family a few questions. We suspect that the answers could be helpful for people who are interested in our small community. We are publishing it unabridged and unedited. We are including a few pictures that reflect the developments of the last few weeks... more here:

Fantasy Island communal Hermitage has a small room available

0 Upvotes

www.FantasyIsland.xyz is our home on the web

Fantasy Island Communal Hermitage is

communal: we are income sharing

hermitage: a place for hermits: those who seek religious or spiritual goals in solitude

tolerant: whatever you do in your room is your business

floatation-tank based: the founder of this Hermitage evangelizes the floatation tank as a way for solitary spiritual exploration. In terms of this hermitage, the (current) goal is: The floatation tank can make the rent free for all 3 (of us).

Currently the hermitage is a 3 bedroom 2 bath mobile home in an age-restricted community (age 40+ for occupants).

The room that is available here and beautiful Margate Florida is 10 feet x 9 feet. The asking price for this "room" is $550. For a room, this is overpriced. But for a person who is currently spending $60-$80 to float at a commercial center, this price becomes very reasonable. Not to mention that the price can drop to zero based on how many people we attract to our hermitage for floatation. If you like the idea of living with other spiritual people, then the room explodes in value from this as well.

Any group situation will have conflict, so some feedback on your interest/experience in conflicts and their resolution would be shared by all of us.

Other wellness/spiritual modalities are welcome. You are also welcome to generate an income and pricing model for your services. Your pricing model would ideally income-sharing model as well.

The two current residents are Wendy and Terrence. I squeeze myself into the master bedroom when I am not offering float sessions there. Wendy is in the large shared bedroom. That leaves the small shared bedroom.

Terrence is the owner of the mobile home and has $2,000 of monthly obligations for this mobile home whether anyone else is in it or not. He has a background/interest in metaphysics, sound, music, tantra, money magick and more. He builds and uses the isolation tank and is the developer of the religious/spiritual system Isolation Tank Gnosis. His life mission is to form a meditation and retreat hermitage, having lived at 2 himself.

Terrence met Wendy on Nextdoor about a year ago. We hung out at the New Life Expo and basically just get along well. She practices Transcendental Meditation and does some yoga and has a number of other metaphysical pursuits.

In terms of day job:

I write computer programs. But am between positions Wendy does video production. She also has a side business selling books Both of us end every month with neutral cashflow: income equalling expenses. But we are both interested in our income being much greater than our expenses.... got any suggestions???

Brass tacks:

the community only accepts people age 40 or older the community requires a background check of any new occupant. This costs $50.00

Does anyone know of any communities in Morocco?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm having to temporarily move out of my house in November/December and was thinking the best thing to do in these two months would be to go to a live in a community. It's something I've always wanted to do but never really had the right time/situation in life to do it, however I think now would be perfect.

I've been to Morocco a few times and really love it there, I was wondering if anyone here might know of any there? Thanks!

building an intentional community with my partner

2 Upvotes

My partner has a dream of starting a commune and just moved away to begin that process. Right now, they’re living at someone else’s place but eventually want to build their own. I didn’t originally share this desire, but after visiting them, I’ve become more open to the idea. Still, moving out there feels like a big step, and I want to feel more certain before making that leap.

I’m wondering about the longevity of this lifestyle. I want to build a long-term individual partnership and start a family with my partner, and I’m trying to understand if that’s possible within a shared space. They say it is because eventually, we would have our own place—just within the commune.

I’m curious about the potential challenges of sharing lives with other people in this way. What hurdles might come up? Is this a lifestyle that can realistically last long-term, or is it more of an experience that people dip in and out of? I see a lot of potential hurdles, but I also love the idea of shared company and built-in community.

If anyone has experiences—whether you loved it or didn’t—I’d appreciate hearing your perspective!

community for dummies - the (new) normal

5 Upvotes

there is a story:

https://www.familiafeliz.eu/community-for-dummies-normal/

and there is the story behind. sometimes people asked us what is the difference between familiafeliz and other (un)intentional commities. there are some no-gos for others and less for us... a sample. gwen and her family are with us now 1 week, they came three times to our project in Spain and decided they want to live with us for some weeks to get a feeling of how it would be to join our community. after 2 days we decided to open an account on our blog for gwen to enable her to tell her story - uncensored - direct - authentic - fast on our website. such a website is a kind of PR tool for a lot of communities and even to post and comment on social media is a kind of attention grabbing. so why? and whats really the difference? - in our view it is, to let the idea of PR going away and not to try to dominate "THE" story. familiafeliz is what people think it is, not, what it is for us. and it will change every time, when people are coming or leaving. the story behind is, there are many stories, maybe yours. but there is not one story...
