Give the Gift of Community
Suggestions From The FIC For Gifts That Build Connection

As the days grow shorter and the nights longer, it's the time of year for reflection and pausing to consider what truly matters. It's also the advent of the holiday season―a time for celebration and gift giving.

This year, we invite you to cover both at once by offering friends and loved ones the gift of community. Here are our suggestions for gifts that build connection:

  • The Communities Directory: the ultimate print resource on what's-happening-where in intentional community ($28). 
  • Subscriptions To Communities Magazine--for insights from the cutting edge of cooperative living ($24/year to a US address). 
  • DVDs About Community Living: Visions of Utopia Volumes I & II survey a breadth of communities in the US;  A New We explores the frontiers of sustainable communities in Europe ($30 each). Save up to $20 by ordering a combination of these titles.
  • Community Bookshelf offers more than 100 titles. From calendars to communication handbooks, from natural resources to the natural kitchen, from community in the workplace to community in Cuba, Bookshelf has something for every cooperatively-minded person on your list.

Your gift will simultaneously support FIC and help the special people in your life be inspired about the year ahead. See http://store.ic.org for the possibilities.

(NOTE: Order now to ensure delivery for Christmas.)
