Communities #206 (Spring 2025) Ecovillage Visions

Volume 2025 - Issue 1

The stories in Communities #206, Ecovillage Visions, explore what a viable future might look like, both for intentional communities and for the wider world. We take an in-depth look at a radically innovative, affordable integrated energy system with global applications; hear from an original inhabitant of Biosphere 2; explore intentional community as an alternative path for young adults faced by an ecocidal society; examine transformations necessary within intentional communities themselves to meet wider emerging needs; contemplate cooperative futures as explored in imaginative works; and look at tools to make cooperative living more functional, including spiral dynamics, boundary circles, emotional healing processes, and more. We also begin to pay tribute to Laird Schaub, whose influence in the contemporary communities movement (including in helping Communities navigate beyond its first two decades) cannot be overstated.
