    I have searched, but not yet found an intentional community I would like to join. The only alternative seems to be to start one myself. I have also searched, but not found anyone who would like to be co-founders with me. Again, I have to do it myself.

    There is nothing wrong with doing it yourself. It's just not as good as doing it together and as soon as you have joined with the first one, you are in fact doing it together. The reason it is better to do it together is, of course, that very few people have all the talents required for such a project. What I could do and have done is to outline a project the way I imagine it could be done in as much detail as I could. So now I'm looking for that next person who thinks I'm on the right track and who is willing to help refine it; make it better.

    I imagine you are a community seeker yourself or, even better, you are a founder like myself. Then, we could combine our knowledge and help each other making it better for both of us. I imagine the format to be weekly one-hour video calls. Another option is to join the already existing weekly discussion hosted by Cultivating Caring Communities: https://cultivate-caring.community/

    I imagine a common purse community based on modern Christian values, a sort of a modern day monastery, initially with a home base here at my house in the Catskills region of New York, about 90 min. from New York City. If you're interested, let me know. You can learn more about the project at this website: https://sites.google.com/view/newcovenanthouse/home

    Hello - fresh off the 2022 CCDA Conference in Charlotte NC. It was inspiring, as always! 

    We hosted a networking session "Peer coaching for those exploring intentional community" on Friday Nov 4 at noon.  18 people participated, for a lively exchange of questions, experiences, and mutual encouragement. 

    For any of this group who wish to continue the conversation in this forum, join and post a question or contribution.   Be in touch,  Toby
