We are a group of people interested in intentional community living in Alaska. We have been meeting over the course of 2023 to learn about community living, community structures, successes and failures of other established communities – all in the effort to embark on our own community living journey! We do not have the land yet and are still figuring out the location of community or communities. Some folks are in the Mat-Su Valley, some are in Homer and on the Kenai Peninsula, but majority of people are in the Anchorage area.
Some of us are interested in rural living and growing food sustainably, some are interested in urban lifestyle – we envision multiple groups forming to create what they are most drawn to. Rural or urban, we are very much interested in incorporating sustainable living practices.
Good communication and social skills are extremely important in our visioning process: Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and restorative circles are some of the tools we are learning and incorporating.
If you are in Alaska and would like to join our group on the way to your community living dream, we welcome you! Please reach out to get on our email list and Discord platform app where we do most of our communication.
