I´m in need of some help: I´m completely fed up with this greedy world we´re living and i want to join a intentional communitie, so i can be myself, be free and have, finally, peace of mind. Further more, i have a dream. India. One of the most magical and mystic places os earth. So i ask if anyone knows where to find such communities in India, for i have had it with this material society. I am aware of ic.org and other sites with listings of intentional communities but there must be much more unlisted. So please, especially you old hyppies help me to fulfill my dream... And all of you that share some of my thoughts, who think this is all wrong, are more then welcome to tag along in this journey. Many thanks.
Good luck fidning peace of mind, but India has one of the most opressive socities in the world. The Indian caste system is probably the must enduring form of slavery to ever exist on earth. The caste system is legally obselete, but is still practiced much like the Jim Crow laws of the 1880's.
i have friend who goes to my school who is from india and his parents live there, and he lives there during the summer, ill ask him aobut what ur looking for.
If at all India, I would suggest Kerala or Tamil Nadu in the South. People are still poor there like in the rest of India, but people there are socialy more concerned. Otherwise I can suggest any of the buddhist monastries in Sri Lanka. Just go there and ask if they can teach you to meditate and you will find a new way of living! Lastly, I know of some people in western, industrialized countries with such strong minds and self dicipline, that they are able to remain in their own countries, but yet opt out of general consumer life! Fascinating - as I can´t see me being strong enough for that, but the more of those people there is, the more we have a chance to really change the world into a better place! Therefore I keep looking up to these folks and maybe one day, I will be able to free myself.
