Ecovillages and community living are attracting increasing attention as people seek to create more of a sense of belonging in their lives, or live a more sustainable lifestyle in the good company of friends. Finding Community is a no-nonsense guide to help readers research, visit, and evaluate each potential new community in terms of their own long-term social, spiritual, financial, and legal well-being. Case studies, anecdotes, and a "What It Costs" table cover both the US and Canada and provide a thorough overview for those who are considering community life. Useful considerations include : Important questions to ask (of community members and of yourself) ; Signs of a healthy (and not-so-healthy) community ; Cost of joining and staying ; Common blunders to avoid. An ideal complement to Creating a Life Together, Finding Community shows how to research thoroughly, visit enjoyably, evaluate intelligently, and join gracefully.
Diana Leafe Christian is the author of Creating a Life Together and editor of Communities magazine. She lives at Earthaven Ecovillage in North Carolina.
