Ecovillages - Communities Magazine Cover - Fall #156 
Ecovillages—Issue #156

Our latest Communities issue on Ecovillages is proving to be one of our most popular issues. If you haven't seen it yet, get a copy by subscribing or ordering a sample now!

Our Fall 2012 issue focuses on Ecovillages. We hear from long-established ecovillages about how they've evolved, and from new groups aspiring to create sustainable settlements. We learn about physical skills, logistical and legal considerations, organizational dynamics, and the interpersonal keys to ecovillage success. We consider the intersection of ecovillages with cohousing, social change work, neighborhood-building, and international networking―and also continue the group process discussion initiated in our Summer issue. Please join us!!

Communities Magazine

Since 1972, Communities has been the primary resource for information, issues, stories, 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.

Please subscribe today! If you're already a subscriber, tell your friends about us, or better yet give a gift subscription.
