German language magazine featuring news and information about intentional communities, environmental issues, human rights issues and more.
One of the older intentional communities in the USA. Their Facebook site says:
“Padanaram is alive and well today and is located on nearly 3,000 acres in the wooded countryside of Martin County in southern Indiana. Founded in 1966 by Daniel Wright, his wife Lois and a few friends, it has grown from 86 acres to its present size.”
God’s Valley in Indiana. An relatively old ‘backwoods’ commune first formed by devoutly, and individually religious, Daniel Wright. At one time 200 folk lived there. But it is just about keeping going, now more a 'community' than a commune.

Unusual museum in the UK which offers insights into: “The Panacea Museum tells the history of The Panacea Society, an interesting and unique religious group that once existed in Bedford.”
Includes materials and videos on the 'The Gender of Apocalypse', a seminar discussing women’s roles in Millenarian Movements.
The Panacea Society believed that their home was the site of the original Garden of Eden.

In this way, Passing Clouds celebrates the true diversity of culture in Hackney, London and the world and provides a living demonstration of the ability for people of all backgrounds to come together in love, respect and understanding.
A whole host of info and links to Pagan and Christian beliefs. A lot about spirituality and nature. Communality and celebrations.
They say:
“We participate in dedication and initiation ceremonies. We celebrate life's transitions with coming of age and croning rituals. If Paganism is a celebration of life then the Rites of Passage we participate in are the mile markers of that celebration.”
An old US airbase near Heidelberg in Germany seems set to become a new “experiment in future living” for up to 4,000 people, according to Professor Carlo Ratti. Sounds extraordinary, but will it happen?

Prominent Russian anarchist who was a profound thinker and writer across a wide range of subjects including: geography, the environment, mutual aid and self-sufficiency.
