A question I keep sitting with: how many of us are quietly waiting for the right intentional community while life keeps moving?

I got tired of waiting alone. So I’ve started building an on-ramp — and I’m looking for people who want to help shape it.
The Humanity Lab is a proposal: 4–10 people sharing a home in Tulum for 1–3 months, targeting around June. Real life, real work, real rent — alongside people chosen for alignment and heart, with an operating system built around self-awareness, conscious communication, and collaborative decision-making.
Not a retreat. Not a commune. A container — safe to enter, clear when it ends, and what you learn you carry home.
This is an early proposal, not a finished thing. The right people will help shape what it becomes.

If you like life and everything that it could be but currently isn’t, welcome home! If you have a tiny bit of money and would rather spend that on us as a collective humanity instead of your apartment’s rental cost, please join us with your money and with your soul. Thanks!!!!!

The community offers two models of living: company members reside in their own private homes on the land, while association members share a communal house with private rooms and shared common areas. A stable community of 12 people — all association members — gathers every Wednesday morning to collaborate on communal tasks and share a meal together. The association also includes non-resident members who participate in assemblies and community life.
Together, Liuramae weaves a rhythm of intentional living rooted in indigenous wisdom, ecological values, and collective growth.

**WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS!** The Montie House Cooperative is a cooperative housing organization. At its maximum, our house can fit 40 individuals. We aim to house about 20-30 at any given time. We have a large shared kitchen, several large common spaces, a TV room with double-decker couches, a projector, a workout room, and several small-to-large rooms. Sounds awesome, right? Unfortunately the house is super old and needs tons of work. Worsening effects of climate change are posing new threats like flash flooding. Our members pool our monthly membership fees to cover repair materials, and we pay our membership for conducting maintenance. We also use our pooled membership fees to cover utilities like electric, water, internet, and gas. We cover pantry staples like flour, dry beans, canned veggies, sugar, spices. We also cover toilet paper, toilet cleaner, kitchen cleaning products and more. Uhhhh we usually host at least one big event per month, lots of live music. We end by 11pm to avoid getting in trouble with the city. We are doing a bunch of garden and native planting projects on our relatively small lawn space! We also have our own compost! We are completely independent – our membership votes to designate some members to serve on our executive board. That’s how we run the house! We use Discord for our group chat. There are a lot of student housing cooperatives in the area, but this one has a slightly older average age versus the nearby student communities. It’s a chiller environment which prioritizes strong communication as the basis of a strong community. The house can get dirty – it’s definitely at 18+ community. Pets are not guaranteed to be let in and have to be voted on separately from new members.

Playful Catholic Forest Growers is a forming intentional community rooted in joy, stewardship of the land, and a living devotion to Yeshua in the Catholic tradition. We are gathering people who want to pray, work, dance, grow food, and play together while cultivating a forest‑centered, regenerative way of life. Our vision is simple and bold: to build a small, vibrant community where faith, creativity, and ecological care are woven into daily rhythm. We honor Catholic sacramental life while embracing a spirit of play, embodied movement, and shared labor. We believe holiness can be expressed through tending soil, singing around a fire, learning from the forest, and supporting one another in becoming fully alive. We imagine a place where: We are currently in the early forming stage and are seeking people who feel called to co‑create a small, grounded, spiritually rooted, and joy‑filled community in the forests of Western North Carolina. You don’t need to share our beliefs to apply, but you should feel comfortable living alongside people for whom faith is central. We welcome anyone drawn to a life of simplicity, service, and delight. If you feel drawn to a life where prayer, play, and ecological stewardship meet, we’d love to connect.

Prayer and spiritual practice are woven into the week—Mass, Lectio Divina, contemplative silence, and simple liturgies.
Land stewardship is central—forest gardening, regenerative agriculture, native species cultivation, and hands‑on ecological restoration.
Embodied joy is welcomed—dance, music, movement, and play as expressions of gratitude and community bonding.
Shared work builds connection—gardening, building, cooking, and caring for the land together.
Hospitality is a core value—welcoming visitors, pilgrims, and friends who resonate with our way of life.
Formation and growth are ongoing—learning from Scripture, tradition, the land, and one another.
Bloom Village is an emerging regenerative learning village currently being developed in Ranong, Southern Thailand. The project began from a simple question: What kind of place do we want our children to grow up in? Bloom Village is designed as a small, walkable village where families can live close to nature while sharing resources, knowledge, and community life. The village integrates homes, shared spaces, and a learning campus where children and adults can explore self-directed learning in an inspiring learning environment. Rather than following a traditional school model, learning is driven by curiosity, collaboration and real-world exploration. The land is located on a peninsula near Lam Son National Park, surrounded by mangroves and coastal forests. Around 60% of the site will remain dedicated to regeneration and biodiversity protection while the village itself will be designed for low-impact living. Our vision is to create a place where children can roam safely, families can build meaningful relationships, and people can live in a deeper connection with nature and each other. The community combines professional management with participatory governance so that residents can shape the village together while ensuring high operational standards. Bloom Village also aims to share its learnings openly and contribute to a wider network of regenerative communities that support one another through knowledge exchange and collaboration. Ultimately, Bloom Village is an experiment in designing a future-ready way of living — where community, learning, ecology and technology can evolve together.

A community of humans and starseeds who are choosing to come together for information sharing, healing, research, companionship, and general support, who have been negatively or unwillingly affected by the reptilian race in ways that have attempted to damage their humanity or otherwise limit their ability to fully participate in society. This newly forming community may remain as an online support group for the time being, or may choose to proceed with a more comprehensive residential program (there is expertise for doing this within the community), should there be sufficient desire to create physical spaces for spiritual practice, or simply enjoy the benefits of living in an understanding community of similarly-affected people.

The vision of a New Thought Intentional Community has been coming to be for a while now. It is big and seems impossible at the moment. It seems as if it should be a “someday” kind of dream, not something I should be giving my energy to right now, but it’s become the kind of burning soul desire that my favorite spiritual teachers talk of and I can’t ignore it, no matter how impossible it seems to my ego. My spirit self keeps harping on me that it shouldn’t be ignored. Yes, it may take years to come about, but it’s time to start building the mental equivalent now. Below you will find details of what I see when I think of this project. The Space I see a small community in the woods. It appears to be a campground resort with all the typical amenities you find in such places. There are a few average sized family homes and several smaller residences varying from tiny houses to primitive cabins. There is a community pool, hot tub, and recreational area with a playground and space to enjoy nature. There is a large community building where meetings, classes, group meals, and social gatherings take place. A few small shops, including a general store, can be found within the community. The shops cater to both the residents and visitors. There are wildflowers and gardens everywhere. There is also a thriving food forest and a small collection of livestock. There are two greenhouses on the property. One helps to maintain food production throughout the winter months. The other is used to grow marijuana and possibly hemp. The Residents The members of the community are focused on continual personal growth and wellbeing. They all believe in the power of a positive mindset and are committed to using that power to maintain a prosperous and harmonious environment in which to live. They are conscious of their use of Earth’s resources and strive to be respectful and conservative with those resources. The community shares many common resources and works together to provide for the needs of its people while celebrating individuality and diversity. They gather regularly to share meals, engage in spiritual practice, learn together, discuss community business, and share struggles and celebrations. While these gatherings are important to the community, the importance of time alone and within individual family units is also recognized and respected. The Business The community has income sources that give residents the opportunity to earn their income on site. They offer classes, workshops, and retreats of various types to guests. Many residents utilize their individual skills to create retail merchandise. Others offer services including various healing modalities and coaching.

Hi I bought land in Caroline County in Goldsboro, Maryland that I would like to create an intentional community at. The property is mostly wooded and is 13.3 acres. There is a house with a garage on one end of it that my dad lives at. He’s not interested in being part of the community so he’ll be just like a friendly neighbor. I am open to ideas but generally think a bunch of cob houses in the woods is what I’m thinking with a large main house in the middle. Hopefully maybe a huge garden, maybe an area that is like a campsite. We shall see what develops from the people that get involved.

Windrose House is an intentional co-living community based in Otautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. We are rooted in six shared values: love, joy, communication, sustainability, growth, and community stewardship. We are a queer-inclusive, vegan-friendly, creativity-loving home made up of people from all walks of life and corners of the world. Our community spans over 11 nationalities and several languages. Between us, we have outdoor guides, landscapers, technologists, council workers, teachers, circus artists, engineers, musicians, activists, community organisers, and a few who defy easy description. We are committed to honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to learning what it means to be Tangata Tiriti — Treaty partners — in everyday, grounded ways. What ties us together is a shared curiosity about how to live well with others: with humour, openness to personal growth, and enough self-awareness to know we are all still figuring it out. Community is not something that just happens — it is something we build together. It takes care, communication, and a willingness to stretch, and in return it offers a rare kind of richness and connection. Daily life at Windrose blends routine with spontaneity. We share meals four to six times a week, cook together, maintain the house collaboratively, and make decisions collectively. We draw on tools like Non-Violent Communication and consent-based practices to navigate conflict with care. Governance is participatory — residents propose, vote, and shape how the house runs through a mix of digital channels and regular in-person family meetings. Beyond the house, we are inspired by principles of communal effort, radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, and radical self-expression. We aspire to be a positive example of urban community life — one that is joyful, sustainable, and deeply human. We welcome people who are curious about intentional living and want more than just a place to sleep.

Our home has a long history. The house was originally built in 1871 by J.B. Way and his family, and was known as Remuera — a Te Reo Maori word roughly translating to “burnt hem of a garment.” Over the decades it has transformed from a grand family estate with stables and gardens, to a chapel, a halfway house, and most recently a backpackers hostel. Today it lives on as Windrose House — a vibrant, community-focused home nestled near Hagley Park in the heart of the city.
Rootstock is located on 10 rugged acres on a high hill in Vermonts Northeast Kingdom. Many established gardens, a small orchard, wood-fired bathhouse, tiny off-grid ‘village’, beautiful 30’ yurt, and well-appointed log cabin inhabitable the hill alongside many earth temples in the maple and cedar forest. A regular schedule of healing 1:1 and small group retreats happen monthly as well as a community weekend once a month. Its my heart and my home and my business and my temple and I’d like to figure out how to 1) age in place which will require hands and help, 2) mentor/partner with folks that want to support the work happening here, and 3) share this astonishing place with a skilled and impeccable creature (or 2) who love serving life and humanity and are already quite good at it. Experience with winter, nature, and homesteading are essential. Experience with the healing realm, plant medicine, and high-integrity space holding as well is ideal.

Are you seeking village life? Are you interested in community living but would also like your own home and space? Join us in Skovby, a small village on the beautiful island of Ærø (https://xn--flyttilr-p0a5p.dk/) where there are two families with 5 children between us seeking other like-minded families to create a community of mutual support. We own our own homes and large gardens but live inside a wonderful rural village with 12 more families, 25 children of all ages, village traditions and festivals, all while surrounded by natural beauty. A Home For Everyone Skovby is home to single people, families with children, single parents, rainbow families, and elderly residents living in harmony. For some, neighbours feel like an extension of their own family. The village includes people of many nationalities, as well as residents who have lived most—or all—of their lives on the island in Skovby. Years ago, the village had up to 40 children; as many families left the number declined, but it has grown again in the past years. At the time of writing, there are 25 children aged 0–13 living in Skovby. Life for Children Growing up in Skovby means growing up in a safe, close-knit village, surrounded by familiar faces and other children. Friendships naturally form across ages, with chance meetings on the local trampoline, roller-skating along the back roads, or at the playground zipline. Some families often have extra children gathered around the dinner table. In the area around Skovby, children can explore their inner Robin Hood with archery or rock climbing on selected days at Søby Måehallen. On the outskirts of Skovby you’ll find find the daycare and nursery (or kindergarten) Pippihuset. Children in Skovby are cared for in many different ways: some are cared for at home or homeschooled, others attend private childcare, Pippihuset or Kernehuset, or go to the independent alternative Friskole in Ærøskøbing, or the public school in Marstal. A Nourishing Village Life Skovby is a small village on the “fairytale” island of Ærø, located in the South Funen Archipelago. Tucked away from the main road, Skovby is a place where calm is truly felt. Many residents enjoy a slower pace of life, while the village itself hums with life, history, traditions, and a strong sense of community. Skovby Has Almost Everything–and a little more In Skovby you can buy locally grown vegetables, honey, ceramics, eggs, beeswax candles, bodywork treatments, textiles, delicious treats from the occasional pop-up bakery and roadside stalls, Christmas trees, and much more good to come. Ærø’s free bus passes through Skovby, making it easy to get around the island even without a car. Nature Ærø is known for its beautiful natural surroundings, and Skovby is no exception. Here you are close to the sound of the sea, surrounded by open fields, and soon (in 2026) a 16-hectare forest called Underskoven will be planted—a project by the Danish Nature Agency (Naturstyrelsen) in collaboration with local residents. You can live with sea views and surrounded by fields or in the heart of Skovby where the sea is out of sight but you are often sheltered from wind and weather by the surrounding hills. As you move through Skovby, you and your children may encounter animals such as horses, sheep, and chickens. Skåret is Skovby’s local beach, featuring a shelter for overnight stays, fire pit, camping pitch, picnic tables, barbecue, bathing jetty, and a primitive toilet. Several events are held here, and throughout the summer the locals gather on warm days to swim and picnic. Not far from Skovby lies the Søbygaard Experience Centre, which hosts cultural, historical, and nature-based experiences as well as classical concerts. You can read more here: https://www.soebygaardaeroe.dk/soebygaard/velkommen-til-soebygaard Traditions and Community Skovby has annual traditions and activities, some with roots going back more than 40 years. Events range from sailing races, village-wide flea markets, winter Lucia processions and summer music concerts, to collective work days maintaining our playground. New seasonal celebrations such as a harvest festival and an Advent spiral have been added, while others—like Fastelavn—have been revived as the number of children has grown. Alongside the strong overall community, many smaller social circles flourish: Friday beers at the local beach, monthly pizza nights, singing circles, private gatherings across households, and an annual New Year’s celebration shared by the same group of people for more than 30 consecutive years. This gives Skovby its unique spirit and makes it a very special place to live for all ages. Accommodation Options Skovby offers several accommodation options for tourists and community explorers. If you would like to experience life in Skovby as a visitor or newcomer, you can rent one of the guesthouses or apartments for a shorter or longer stay. Contact us or book directly via Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.dk/rooms/1443683603021565488?viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76 https://www.airbnb.dk/rooms/1569735259290820865?viralityEntryPoint=1&s=76 In the warmer months you may also choose to stay at the shelter located at Skåret beach.

]]> We are forming a sustainable co-ownership community set on 5.3 hectares along the pristine Rio Paiva in the Viseu district of northern Portugal, about 1 hour 45 minutes from Porto. Built around the restoration of six historic stone ruins, the project brings together a small group of like-minded co-owners who value evidence-based land stewardship, personal autonomy, and low-pressure social connection — people who want to live well alongside others. Residents will share infrastructure, tools, and responsibility for the land — a beautiful landscape of mixed forest, productive terraces, olive trees, and a private river beach — while each maintaining their own private home

Greetings! This is a unique community we envision creating that particularly welcomes seniors (55+) although is open to all folks, young and old, who are currently and likely have been long-term vegans or vegetarians. As such, you are deeply committed to the practice of not consuming fellow animals (ahimsa: respect for all living creatures) and desire to live amongst other who also enjoy this lifestyle. We envision fifteen (or more; yet ideally at least ten) of us collectively purchasing a plot of semi-rural, forested land in southern Vermont (or elsewhere, see below.) Each prospective member will contribute funds to acquire and own land in fee simple as a community land trust [”CLT”]. Our individual homes will consist primarily of simple structures: tiny homes and cabins. In addition, we’ll create community-gathering space to accommodate musical events, presentations, food prep, socializing, scrabble/board games, yoga classes and the like. While we will encourage gardening, we foresee having no requirement for agricultural or other labor contribution, apart from the rotating chore of maintaining a clean community house and volunteering to cook a tri-weekly (more or less frequently as the group decides) group dinner. A pooled monthly fund allotted for group activity including group meals as well as for community maintenance will be maintained as need requires. This community is ideal for those who love their solitude in compact space yet also understand the profound value of living amongst a surrounding community of like-minded souls. No leaders; no followers; egalitarian decision-making, care and kindness will be our guiding principles. Your ideas are welcome! We aren’t solely committed to the purchase of land in southern Vermont; other locations are under consideration. We are obviously at the seed stage of an innovative, germinating idea; having never before seen a veg-only community in the USA. So if you resonate with this concept and are able to contribute to a CLT, we look forward to hearing from you. Note that the individual buy-in amount for the CLT will depend on how many of us come together to purchase land, as well as where that land is located. Yet the buy-in is envisioned to be, with a minimum of ten members, in the ballpark amount of 30K per member.

We have a beautiful house with great views of the mountains and of Santa Fe, yet in bike riding distance to downtown. We live near a bike path and we have 3 acres, ready for food to be grown and orchards to be planted. We support craft, art and music. We have bedrooms but also alternative ways to live here, like a yurt or an RV. This is a safe environment, meaning we want to be able to let our guard down with each other. We employ non-violent communication. We also have a large piece of land in the wilderness. We are building a workshop and a large yoga, dance, event space. This is a place for people whose focus is on the real world, on what’s around. So if the screen is central to your lifestyle, this may not be a good fit. References are required. Rooms and lodging are lower than market value and work trades can be possible. We have a well and we are almost off grid.

It Takes A Village Sprung from the dream of a single parent longing for more support, connection and access to safe and affordable housing on a single income. After exploring all of the local cohousing options in/around Denver, and being priced out of attaining traditional cohousing ownership (and its amenities), yet over the limit for a subsidized unit – the idea to to create a micro community with the goal of becoming a shared equity cooperative was born. Intrinsic to this community is that it is inclusive of families, provides vital mutual support needed outside of the nuclear family, and makes the amenities of homeownership (yard for pets and kids, garden space, room to spread out inside and out as kid get older) accessible to those who may not otherwise be able to attain them independently. Purpose We are a family-friendly collective housing model for those who believe we are stronger together. Interdependence and connection are prioritized for residents, with shared resources and community agreements providing a guiding framework. Multiple separate living spaces provide privacy and can support a range of household make-ups, balancing autonomy and privacy with connection and mutual aid. Single parents are encouraged, and all identities are welcome. Options to rent and/or invest, and earn shared equity over time. Principles Shared Community: Relationships and intentional connection are centered. Community agreements are developed by residents to ensure shared commitment, trust and accountability in how we support each other, care for the property, and balance privacy with connection. Shared Equity: Wealth building for residents is afforded through an opportunity to earn a portion of equity in the home over time (exact model in development). Rather than traditional rent, a collective investment model allows for the costs and benefits of homeownership to be shared. Shared Resources: To lessen individual costs and environmental impact, property tools and assets are shared for common use. Shared tools, yard, and garden space provide common amenities without the burden of individual investment and upkeep. Shared Vision: By changing the narrative of the American Dream to elevate cooperative models of living, we can create more supportive, connected communities where individuals and families thrive. Cooperatives can also provide access to wealth building for more people, especially single parents.

We have a unique property that could be an amazing intentional living community. We live here now and do basic leases with our neighbors who rent, but we’d love to have community minded neighbors. The main reason I am posting because in 3-5 years we plan to sell and if other groups are looking to buy they should check us out. Our consolidated holdings are .7 acres, or two city lots, that share a long driveway creating a uniquely private space in the city. There is a beautiful wooded area in the back that creates privacy in the winter, and stunning views of downtown St. Paul and the Capital building in the winter. Each lot has a duplex and large garage. Each separate apartment/home has 4 bedrooms and at least 2 baths. The lower level of the back duplex is fully finished and separate from the living quarters: It is 1600 square feet, half could be a 5th one bedroom apartment/a day care space/a party room. The other half could be an office/a play room/work from home set up/yoga studio or extension of whatever the space next to it is used for. The unique 2 spaces are fully separated, lockable and accessible without going through anyone’s home. There is plenty of parking for guests. We have drafted plan for the the largest home (over 3000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths) to be divided into a main home and a separate, but connected mother-in-law apartement. Total potential: 6 living spaces, plus a common meeting area.

The world is in a profound state of upheaval. And while the causes of our turmoil are incredibly complex and overwhelming, the solutions are elegantly simple, and all around us. We wish to be in service to life through this great transition. We are called to help build the foundation for resilient local communities that are based on ecologically regenerative food systems. We are guided by the knowledge of our pre-industrial ancestors, the wisdom of our Indigenous elders, and the practices of modern agro-ecological land stewards. We are developing a regenerative farm to help life thrive into the future.
