Why would that be illegal?
What is an intentional community…? Are there unintentional communities?
Curtis, you MUST be born again….
Looks like it was a fun workshop.
This could be an hour long interview about the community. I'm glad you kept it short and sweet. Cool place.
I like the concept of an intentional community, for the past several years, it has not made sense to me for people who don't care for each other to buy houses so close to each other and yet people here do just that and don't even try to get to know their neighbors…not good. We need more intentional communities here in the States. By the way Curtis, feel free to address the very inappropriate and assumptive comment about Rose Creek Village that was put out by a poster here, because it blows my mind how someone like yourself plays awesome and funky music by Birocratic, an artist from NYC and yet somebody had the nerve to say the shit they said below. Thanks in advance.
Great to learn about. Thanks
Cant wait to visit for the Lean Farm Summit!
Very interesting information about the intentional community. Thanks for the video.
Cool. Like a hoppean covenant community 🙂
what was the biggest difference in what you guys taught from last year to this year?
There's a community of Sufi in East New Lebanon NY. They have a wonderful thing there as well. And farming is wonderful.
This is what I've wanted to do for so long! Can't talk my friends into it. 🙁
"Man, everybody is so friendly here…." Welcome to the deep south Curtis, the country's best/worst kept secret! It's changing but still retains that basic neighborly spirit, in my opinion. If you tolerate heat and humidity (and every garden disease/pest known to man), it's a great place to live!
Hope the rest of the community realizes that with a farm in the very middle of the community they will not go hungry if something goes downhill with everything else!
I have been advocating for intentional communities for several years now…I spent almost a decade living on the streets and saw and experienced what people have to go through to survive in that situation…if there was this kind of option for the homeless the world would be a much better place…great video Curtis….https://www.facebook.com/freedomfarmsfoundation/
Cool place I'm glad that you highlighted it. You're awesome Curtis
My take is that there were existing houses already
Do everyone pays rent for their house
Ray is farming on his own, not part of a group
Which was my first impression
Will they ever be doing internships there? Thank you!
Wait… is this Ina Gaskin's community? Because that would be really cool.
"Intentional Community"……. sigh
I get a severe case of hooded dead eyes followed by a slo-mo facepalm every time I hear the latest version of "lefty re-labeling" of long employed practices that predate their arrival by multiple centuries. Townies that go country are sometimes afflicted with severe cases of undiagnosed "Headupbummeritis" that is actually spotted immediately by locals that are too reserved to point it out to them.
Thanks for interviewing Ray about this! I've been interested in founding a community for a decade. I've sometimes started to doubt the longevity of an ic, since 90% fail. Well, we can see that some do make it. I think that the founding group was friends first helped make this community a lasting one.
I currently live in a similar rental situation. It is owned by a guy that founded a commune in the 60's. Now he prefers to have tenants and fewer meetings. The decision making here is still somewhat participatory though.
Tickets still available this year for selmer Tn???
I love the village & the people living there. I'm so blessed to be close & to know so many of them!
I praise and thank God, The Creator of us all. God Created such beautiful plants and trees. None of us Creates even one leaf. Only God Creates. So Glorious God Is!
Love this idea!!
