The Intentional Communities Directory is part of the Intentional Communities website, a project of the Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC). Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC). Intentional Communities can update their listings online so you get the most up to date information possible.
If you are looking for an intentional community, ecovillage, cohousing, commune, co-op, or other cooperative living arrangement, browse through our community lists – alphabetic, geographic, or by type of community (ecovillages, communes, cohousing, co-ops, or christian), look at our maps, or search our database.
You can filter your search on many key characteristics of each community such as location, size, etc. To obtain more information about any listed community, contact that community directly using the contact information they have provided.

In addition to ic.org, I’d recommend that you read either of Diana Leafe Christian’s books, for example Finding Community: How to Join an Ecovillage or Intentional Community. Unfortunately one of the most common things about intentional communities is that they are short-lived, often succeeding on physical aspects but not the social interactions necessary to survive and thrive as a group. I think one of the reasons why our intentional community has lasted is that on a human scale it is often more important to place people and human relationships above “progress.”
