I don't think I ever posted a link to Twin Oaks Intentional Community. I think all of you might find it interesting, and there is a 3 week visitor program (I intially did that just out of curiosity, then stayed for the summer). It's been great during this course to have had this experience to tie a lot of the ideas to.
It was initially begun to simulate Walden 2, BF Skinner's book, but as it's a true democracy, its goals and workings have changed very organically over time. I could do a whole update about the community, and how much it represents the ideals of things (resilience especially comes to mind) that have come up repeatedly during the course. If I can remember enough things about the place, I will do a more full update, but I really encourage you to visit the link. It's what got me interested in all of the forms of shared housing (co-op, cohousing) that I have incorporated into my life plans.

What a fascinating community! Sustainability seems to be a key issue for group, in terms of both financial viability and membership. The newsletters provide great insights into how they are handling these challenges.
