Our Spring 2013 issue focuses on Affordability and Self-Reliance.
Authors describe the many advantages of community living in reducing living
costs through sharing and greater self-reliance—and also the obstacles
people encounter in making community affordable. Articles document specific
strategies employed in cohousing, land trust communities, ecovillages, and elsewhere
to create economic accessibility—as well as stories of coping with illness,
decision-making quandaries, and elderhood. 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.
