The list of organic farms to volunteer in Italy is overwhelming, but I’m excited deciding which hosts offer the experience I’m looking for.
I just want to spend this summer in a commune atmosphere focusing on meditation, yoga, expanding my muses, and learning about permaculture. I may even apply at some of the entirely self sustained farms- no modern luxuries, really throw myself into the off the grid lifestyle. That would be one hell of a transition.

I’m really drawn to the self sustained community notion, but wonder where to start? I’ve heard of some communes in the country that have trial experiences for newcomers, but no one has anything solid for me to research other than hearsay.
I’ve recently decided that rather than continuing my majoring in psychology I’d like to pick up a more practical trade, and develop skills toward living a less dependent lifestyle.
The thing is that I’m legally blind, so I can’t just throw myself into a craft..
Gah! Where to start?
