A list/directory of communes (1 Viewer)

I feel like a list of known communes would be a nice addition. Could be separated out by open, require application, closed, and sketchy ones to avoid.

i know it's something people often request, but i don't know where i would go to find this information.

@ItsAWastelandBaby would you mind comppiling a few and posting them in this thread? maybe we can get a collection going and i'll move it over to the 'resources' section im working on so others can contribute.

Absolutely! I'll do that in a bit here!

If you want to include intentional communities in your search, here's the directory. Many of these communities are thematic such as vegan or yoga, so search carefully.

There is also a list at the back of every Slingshot Organizer, but sadly it gets shorter every year.

There is no price on independence.

I'd like to find some caves in the side of a gorge in the sw... just light a fire and sleep on a bed roll.

The federation for intentional communities is a good place to start, but it can be overwhelming with the number of christian monasteries, bourgeois cohousing and/or closed to visitors. I'd recommend searching for specific types or areas.

Another good resource is wwoof USA It costs 40$ to register, but opens up a huge number of farms to work-trade on. There are a few communes on there, but they're mostly just regular farms, though some have communities of wwoofers. There are also international chapters for almost every country if you'd rather work trade somewhere else.

As people have pointed out there's already a few sites out there doing this. One major problem with communes is that very few last more than a few years without adopting pretty strict rules regarding vetting new members and such. There's a reason all the real nice looking ones have applications/fees and try to bill themselves as an educational endeavor. I think most people on here are just gonna be looking for a week-month of work/chill time without a strict timeline, and there just ain't that many places offering that.

That's exactly why I suggested wwoof. There are work requirements from the places you'll visit, but they're often flexable and in exchange they'll both feed and house you.

The majority of mine do not want to be known. They dont want hippies or homeless people. Maybe a list of people seeking a community they can be apart of?
