Finally found my people! Yay! I'm Mick. I've had a small commune for 17 years. We live in the wilderness in the Ozark Mountains on a small organic farm. There have been only three of us since our communal living began. We were very happy and worked toward the common goal of getting this farm... and living a life that works WITH nature and is OF nature. Recently, one of our founding members left to pursue.. well... an online relationship! Gosh.. THAT never happens, does it? Broke my heart, but it'll mend. So.. I'm wondering if any of you are also living in small communes and I am looking for advice on adding new members. I'm not sure how to go about it as I've never even considered the possibility that I'd ever be in this position. I mean..wow 17 years? and then POOF! So.. how do I go about finding new partners? Should I even LOOK for new partners? (the internet is a scary place, ya'll) Sell this farm and go do something else with the rest of my life? (lots and lots of work on this farm for just 2 people) This hippie girl would really appreciate any thoughts or advice. Thanks, Mick
hi welcome to here dont let the freaks scare you away the commune section is kind of lifeless ...you will find it here >>>http://www.hipforums.com/forum/forum/59-communal-living/ there is another site people usually mention >>> http://www.ic.org/directory/communes/
I'm trying to sound wise about this, but I'm just not well versed about communal living. I don't know what to say, Mick, other than maybe you should sell it and try living somewhere less secluded. After all the work you've done on that farm you just might enjoy working for a living, paying your bills, and finding a new life for yourself. Good luck.
What spaceman said seems pretty much right on. It still might be worthwhile to post in the commune forum. I don't have any direct experience with communes, so it might be better for me to hold off on any advice. You have a kind face, btw.
Thanks for the responses. My way of life has perhaps gone the way of bell bottom jeans. I posted over in personals, just in case. Communal living isn't for everyone. You have to be willing to remove a lot of defining words.
Hello, welcome to this wonderful forum, although I am also new here, but anyways, i welcomed you. regards mohsin.
