The Fellowship
for Intentional Community nurtures connections and cooperation among communitarians
and their friends. We provide publications, referrals, support services, and
sharing opportunities for a wide range of intentional communities, cohousing
groups, ecovillages, community networks, support organizations, and people seeking
a home in community.
Looking for more information, in more depth, in your quest for
community? The Resources section and
the Wiki at
the FIC family of websites present an array of free
services to help deepen your understanding of intentional community life, including
the following : 
- Reference Articles
- REACHBook bulletin board
- Events Calendar
- The Intentional Community Wiki
- Community Classifieds (free and helpful to read, not free to post)
REFERENCE ARTICLES. The FIC has permanently
posted in the reference
article section a number of particularly valuable articles
of general interest to those interested in intentional community, including a
complete
set of the excellent and much-requested 30+ articles
which were printed in the print 2000 Communities Directory.
A few examples:
- What's True About Intentional Communities:

- Permaculture:
The Path to a Sustainable Future

THE INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY WIKI. We are growing
the
IC wiki into a collection of shared knowledge, information, and resources
for intentional communities, those interested in intentional communities, and
those interested in creating more community in their lives in whatever form.
Read it, enjoy, and then please pitch in to help us improve the content!
Wikis are user-created, written and edited by their online community of users—Wikipedia is the best known example.
COMMUNITY CLASSIFIEDS. Listings
of land/houses/real estate for sale, services, job opportunities, products,
and publications offered by, and of interest to, intentional communities.
