    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.

    I suggest you check out the Auroville Society in Pondicherry

    http://www.auroville.org/

    "Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity."

    That is one of the few communities that I have been to and I found it interesting

    There is also the OSHO commune in pune but it has a dubious reputation

    before you pack your bags and leave permanently
    I suggest
    you visit auroville stay there for a month in the hostel see how it feels
    Compare it with your present living environment and the advantages and disadvantages that each environment offers and then take a final decision

    I would say you would love auroville
    If you are french then you will fit in well as a significant majority are frech
    A little humid and hot though.....
    Nice beach though
