Virtual Tour of Intentional Communities
Thinking about joining an intentional community? Curious to learn about communities from them directly? Want to peak inside community living and get your questions answered?
The Virtual Tour of Intentional Communities is the event experience for you! Each month we bring together a variety of new and established intentional communities — ecovillages, cohousing, shared homes, coliving spaces and more — to present about about their community in an interactive setting. You’ll experience photos, videos, captivating stories, and insightful dialogue among the presenting communitarians. Plenty of time is included for you to ask your burning questions about community living. Come travel to communities around the world without leaving your armchair!
What you’ll get from the Virtual Tour experience:
- Deeper insight into the lives of communitarians and the places they live
- Inspiration to get you excited about your own community journey
- Information about housing and membership opportunities
- Network building with presenters and fellow participants
- A sense for what’s alive in the communities movement right now
This Month’s Presenting Communities…
Port Townsend Ecovillage
Port Townsend EcoVillage, located in Port Townsend, WA, is a multigenerational EcoVillage dedicated to living in harmony with each other and with the earth, exploring together ways to live more sustainably and joyfully. Their areas of focus include permaculture, non-violent communication, consent/sociocracy, growing food, sustainability, harmony, diversity, and social justice. Residents share ample common gardens, fields, woods, and a large 3,600 square foot shop/art/recreation center.
Green Acres Permaculture Village
Green Acres Permaculture Village, located in Bloomington, IN, is a small, retrofit, intergenerational intentional community in a core suburban college town. They offer workshops, work days, weekly community dinners, and seasonal celebrations. They extend the meaning of permaculture to include permaculture of the body, and interpersonal permaculture. They also have plans to expand by a refreshing their next door neighbor’s abandoned garden bed, and establishing a permaculture garden in its place.
Glomus Commune
Glomus Commune at East Brook Farm, located in Walton, NY, is an income-sharing community on 92 acres of beautiful land in the western foothills of the Catskill mountains. Their community has about two acres of no-till permaculture gardens, chickens, ducks, cats, and perennial fruit and nut trees. They practice regenerative agriculture and holistic land management.

What a beautiful gift to our intentional community builders and leaders! FIC’s programs provide a way for thinking and concerned people to collaborate for solutions to our multitude of global crises. Thank you FIC! – Terri Garcia
I am constantly impressed by the down-to-earth practicality of the FIC workshops combined with the philosophical questions that are so vital for us to explore. I’m grateful for the excellent planning and delivery of the workshops by skilled and inclusive presenters, who create a space that is both welcoming and invites participants to challenge existing ideas and world views. Well done and thank you FIC. – Claire Ogden
