Intentional Community Development - Pt 1

LAUNCHING April 30th 2026 I had my first Intentional Community experience in the early eighties and since then have gone on to participate as a guest / consultant in more than a dozen start ups while also conducting a nation wide research project in collaboration with my academic degree in Cultural Anthropology. I’ve visited some of the most successful communities worldwide and love to watch the evolution of this trend over the past few decades. In Intentional Communities Pt 1 and 2 I’m delighted to share with you what I’ve discovered along the way and ultimately to steer you in the direction of more specific resources as potential next steps. Here’s a list of some of the headings we’ll explore…. • TELL ME A STORY • TOP TEN EXAMPLES • BIG VISION SMALL STEPS • ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS • WHY SIZE MATTERS • WHICH COMES FIRST • IDEAL STARTING POINTS • COMMON PITFALLS & SOLUTIONS • CAPITAL AND CURRENCY • ENTERING AND EXITING • RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS
