#151

Communities' Summer issue focuses on Intimacy.
Our authors explore the various forms that intimacy can take
and what
it means to be intimate with others, with oneself, with the
world.
How do we develop honesty, transparency, vulnerability,
trust, caring,
support, presence, and closeness, whether as individuals,
couples,
families, close-knit groups, wider circles, or people in any
other
form of relationship? What can community―and
Communities
contributors―teach us about intimacy? A lot, it seems.
Please
join us to find out.

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.
