Our Summer 2013 issue focuses on Community Wisdom for Everyday Life. We learn from current and ex-communitarians what lessons they have learned in intentional community that are applicable to life in the wider world, and also what wisdom intentional communities can glean from the larger society. Contributors discuss how to cultivate community-orientation in diverse settings, and we also continue our "Busting the Myth" decision-making series. 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.
