The Intentional Community Movement

The intentional community movement involves people intentionally choosing to live together in shared spaces with common values, goals, or practices. These communities prioritize cooperation, sustainability, and mutual support, often sharing resources and responsibilities. Examples include cohousing neighborhoods, eco-villages, and cooperative housing. Participants seek a sense of belonging, social connection, and aligned lifestyles, often emphasizing environmental stewardship, social justice, or spiritual principles. The movement aims to create resilient, supportive environments that foster community engagement and collective well-being, offering an alternative to conventional individualistic living.
