A Community of Intentions

Everyone is suitable for a specific community. Whether it is a growing town or social function to which he or she participates, each group has a group of people working together for a common purpose. But what if you could create your own community instead of living in the area where you were born or growing up? What if someone has the opportunity to create a personalized "intentional community"? According to www.ic.org, the conscious community is "a group of people who choose to work together to live with common goals and create a lifestyle that reflects their common core values" (346).

Essentially, a conscious community is a group of people gathered through the selection. The intentional diversity of the community is immeasurable. A conscious community may extend from individuals or cooperatives to individuals who unite through common interests, values ​​or beliefs. The scope includes collaborative workspaces, friendship groups, communal living and eco houses, communes and public places. A conscious community is a pioneer of sustainable living, personal and cultural change, and evolution of a peaceful society.

A conscious community is a conscious housing community with far more social communication than other communities. Members of the intended community usually share a common social, political or spiritual vision and share responsibility and resources. Conscious communities include Amish village, ash, house, commune, eco house, housing cooperative, kibbutz, land trust. Although it is scientifically accurate, it does not convey the richness, diversity and complexity of human society. Their classification is also almost inaccurate. Despite clutter, the community is essential for humanity. M. Scott Peck expresses this as follows. "There is no vulnerability without risks, there are no vulnerable communities, there is no peace without a community, and there is no life in the end."

Anarchism is very suitable as a way to understand communities of interest, but utopianism and intentional community movement are more extensive than anarchism. This relationship is best considered to be affinity rather than identity. Throughout history, anarchist, utopian, and communist have received equally invalid criticism: their values ​​are idealistic, and their real concrete practice is "impossible". At the same time, anarchists and utopian communists share a positive vision of grassroots, the bottom-up social change that begins with present and present, the transformation of relations and consciousness, and the adoption of an evolving society. Experiment instead of totalitarian blue form - printing. But be careful not to colonize by expressing practices and opinions with labels that are not your own.
