Ecovillages - Communities Magazine Fall Issue
Ecovillages—Issue #156
Our new Communities issue on Ecology is on its way to subscribers and in stores now. You can subscribe now
or order a sample and we'll ship you a copy today!
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, 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.
