Quit your job and move into a commune!

Yes it's true. Communes didn't disappear in the 60's.
I live here at one, and there are more. Want to know what it's like? Ask me whatever you want!
Want to find your own special commune to live in? check out the www.ic.org and www.thefec.org for listings of communities.

QUIT SUPPORTING THE CORRUPT, OPRESSIVE, BABYLON SYSTEM
ANOTHER WORLD EXISTS

Have a fine day.

 

I think most people here all ready know communes exist still.

 

Just like I'm sure Radishacorn already knew that most of the people in here are too spoiled to even consider what he's talking about


Hey Radish, thanks for the links.

You might reach more people if you post this in the Communal Living and Camping and Outdoor living forum on this board.

 

Do you guys grow your own ganja?

 

Haha, yeah, good question. Thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out!

 

so whats the commune living like?

 

Yea living on a commune, would fucking suck

 

Some do, some don't. It mostly depends on the people.

If you have preconceptions about what living on a commune would be like, you're selling yourself short.

They're all different.

 

i would absolutely love to.

 

I will, after I go and live w/ an old hippy love of mine for a while.

I want to check out 'selfsustainingsociety's one very much. Sounds promissing.

 

after i hit up college i'de love to live ona commune for a stint

 

I was looking at getting into Twin Oaks. However, I'm a Canadian and can't get in unless I'm rich or marry an american(or perhaps win the green card lottery).

I was also conflicted about moving into a country that had just, at the time, re-elected Bush. I looked around here in Canada for a community like Twin Oaks, but failed miserably. I recently spent some time at one near Nelson, B.C., but that was a disaster. Oh well, looks like I'll have to keep looking.

 

We've considered it before. What do you guys do for income? I mean you gotta bring home the soysage?? I'm sure you grow a lot of your own food but what do you do for income for extra stuff you want? I checked into an ecovillage and found that most of them have outside jobs. I do love the concept. Tell us more!

 

The commune I live on makes and sells hammocks and tofu. Some smaller businesses of ours include writing indexes for books and growing flowers to sell at the local farmers market. A handfull of people have outside jobs (but no one has to have one).

Peace,

My commune, acorn community has a mail order seed business, and a tinnery craft business. We have one member who has an outside job working with a friend, but here we don't need outside jobs either.

 

that's awesum, iv'e always wanted 2 live in a commune

 

Maybe instead of running away from the world problems, try an fix 'em

 

You can't worry about that kind of thing, would John Kerry really have been any better? I don't think so. Besides, these communes are supposed to be places to escape the outside world, So why worry about what politician is in power? If one politician is going to screw you over, chances are the others will as well.

 

It's rude to try and fix a world that doesn't want to be fixed.
