start a commune
IS ANYBODY OUT THERE??? 3 months ago

I would LOVE to start a commune here in the up north area of Minnesota. I am searching STILL!!!! for like minded people who would love to share in a communal living group. I have always had this dream of working together and really building something good and whole away from the “me-ism” and the “running with the Jones’” lifestyle so many of us have seemed to adopt.

I have also come to realize that much of what we have been taught is the “American Dream” can cause a significant group majority or people to feel inadequate to achieve this goal, one being of the simple pride of home ownership and a sense of family and community purpose. I believe in these economic times that if the “little people” were to band together in a group it would be easier to attain such a goal. After all what bank establishment can turn down 4 people with incomes and 8 people with credit no matter what that score may be. WE ARE NOT A NUMBER. It’s time to band together and make the “dream” our own. Any one out there willing to take this chance?

Keep aiming for this

Your idea is fabulous. I live in Canada, or you can bet I’d seriously consider it. Keep trying, and keep trying. This is how widespread change is made.

funniculee thinks she might be getting it together.

Have you seen this website?

Intentional Communities Website

It seems to be a good place to go in order to find like-minded people. Tons of info, and I think that you can even advertise in the classifieds to find others to be a part of your commune.

Hey, also – have you visited any similar communities? If you are really serious about doing this it would probably be a good way to start, too. There are tons of ‘em listed on the site, maybe some are near you. Many of them have provisions for short-term visitors to come and stay so that they can experience how things are done in community. MANY ways of doing this, from full-on almost completely off the grid communes to shared housing/common spaces.

Good luck! This is something I have thought about doing for quite some time, but have never had the time to devote to it. It is definitely hard work to do it right…but totally doable also. As you can see by the site, many are doing it already!
