I love the idea of an intentional community

Here is one I found online:

http://www.thevardo.com/dancingbones/

Welcome to the new & official website of the Dancing Bones intentional community. We, as a community, are a work-in-progress and so is this site... enjoy the flux! :)

Place: We are located in the Baker River Valley of New Hampshire at the entrance to the White Mountains. The land is 40 rugged and heavily wooded acres. There are presently six individually owned residences, two of which are in the final stages of construction. A 16x16 cabin functions as community building with shared kitchen, shower, laundry, guest room/library and pantry. A 48x48 covered platform enables us to comfortably host large groups for open-air functions. There are also several tent platforms peppering the land for those wishing to camp.

Identity: Here we focus on simple and sustainable living. Our buildings are low impact and tend to be low cost. We share our lives day to day, giving support to one another and grow stronger as a community.

There are pictures to view at their website.

And one of the cabins is for sale: http://www.wildabandonskinworks.com/cabin/

Wow

First I was dying to finish high school and start college. And then I was dying to finish college and start working. And then I was dying to marry and have children. Then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could return to work. Then I was dying to retire. And now I am dying and suddenly realize I forgot to live.
