Communities Magazine
Since 1972, Communities has been the primary resource for information,
issues, and ideas about intentional communities in North America - from
urban co-ops to cohousing groups to ecovillages to rural communes. Communities
now also focuses on creating and enhancing community in the workplace,
in nonprofit or activist organizations, and in neighborhoods, with enhanced
coverage of international communities as well. We explore the joys and
challenges of cooperation in its many dimensions.
