Description

Best of Communities Magazine

Communities magazine is the leading publication for all topics related to intentional community. From the broad-stroked overviews to the intimate details, this quarterly publication covers it all. With so much content to explore, we’ve distilled it into a single compilation!

Volume VII – Relationships, Intimacy, Health, and Well-Being

A key component of living in community is developing and maintaining healthy relationships based on compassion, emotional depth, and authenticity. Oftentimes, the emphasis is on quality of connection, not the ability to fit relationships neatly into the traditional categories of nuclear family and binary identities.

In this book you will learn: 

• the range of relationships that exist and develop inside community
• how community can provide a precious safety net when members face devastating health challenges
• how community offers hope for coping sensitively with mental health issues in the era of de-institutionalization
• the ways that communities are pioneering an attempt to redefine security in terms of relationships

You will recognize authors leading the intentional community movement, representing cutting-edge thinking and how-to explorations of the social, ecological, and economic aspects of sustainable living.
