“If life is about something, it’s about getting along with people.” Don Clark reports from his Arizona ecovillage. “Since last year, the volume of people inquiring has doubled,” “A lot of people are saying they don’t like what’s going on, so they’re looking for alternatives.”

Check out this news article covering intentional communities as alternative lifestyles, including some words from FIC’s Executive Director Sky Blue, and a 2 minute video talking to residents of Wind Spirit and TerraSante, both Arizona ecovillages.

Here is a short podcast about it: https://soundcloud.com/cronkitenews/listen-living-green-in-ecovillages

To learn more about these communities, and to find more communities in Arizona, or any other particular state or country, see the list on the Communities Directory: https://www.ic.org/directory/intentional-communities-by-country/
