  • Table of Contents
    Introduction In Creating a Life Together, Diana Leafe Christian estimates that 90 percent of attempts to start an intentional community do not survive past the initial stages. Similarly, many personal searches for intentional community fizzle out due to lack of adequate information, guidance, or exposure to fellow travelers’ stories. In both cases, ignorance of the wide array of options possible, and of the breadth of resources and support available through the Fellowship for Intentional Community and allied groups, undoubtedly contributes to the “failure” rate. This volume on “Starting a Community” and the next volume in this series, on “Finding a Community,” address the need for one-stop collections of stories to help founders and seekers. They are meant to complement the Communities Directory (available in print and online: ic.org/directory), COMMUNITIES magazine, a quarterly publication focused on Life in Cooperative Culture, and educational resources available through Community Bookstore (ic.org/bookstore). These books should broaden anyone’s outlook on what is possible and how to pursue their dreams of community. Within each section we hear from a range of voices spanning a great diversity of perspectives and experiences. In this volume, following more general “overview” articles, we dive into on-the-ground stories from founders, arranged roughly chronologically, followed by a separate roughly chronological flow about experiences of community that don’t fit the classic intentional community definition but are nonetheless powerful for their creators and participants. Most articles are drawn from the past decade of COMMUNITIES magazine, with several excerpted from the Communities Directory and a few from older issues of COMMUNITIES that were also excerpted in our Best of collections, Volumes I and II.

  • Yarrow Ecovillage Opening Statement NEB Re-Review Of
    The National Energy Board’s TMX Reconsideration Opening Statement by the Yarrow Ecovillage 2018-14–05 It is our understanding that this reconsideration review by the National Energy Board, of Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, was ordered by cabinet in relation to the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal released on August 30, 2018. (Tsleil-Waututh Nation et al. v. Attorney General of Canada et al., 2018 FCA 153). A succinct overview of the findings of the Court are contained in the Federal Court of Appeal’s (unofficial) Executive Summary: “The validity of the Order in Council was challenged on two main grounds: first, the Board’s process and findings were so flawed that the Governor in Council could not reasonably rely on the Board’s report; second, the Government of Canada failed to fulfil the legal duty to consult Indigenous peoples. The Court accepted both grounds.” ( http://www.fca-caf.gc.ca/fca-caf/pdf/ Executive_Summary_Trans_Mountain_(English)_clean.pdf Our concern is with the first of the two grounds stated above: “…The unjustified exclusion of project-related marine shipping from the definition of the project rendered the Board’s report impermissibly flawed: the report did not give the Governor in Council the information and assessments it needed in order to properly assess the public interest, including the project’s environmental effects…” (Ibid.) We are part of a bioregion here in the Lower Mainland. This bioregion extends from the Salish Sea to the Eastern Fraser Valley. We are also part of the larger Fraser River watershed which has its headwaters near Mount Robson in Northeastern British Columbia.

  • Assessing the Environmental Practices and Impacts Of
    ASSESSING THE ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES AND IMPACTS OF INTENTIONAL COMMUNITIES: AN ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT COMPARISON OF AN ECOVILLAGE AND COHOUSING COMMUNITY IN SOUTHWESTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA by WALEED GIRATALLA B.Sc., The University of Alberta, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in PLANNING in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2010 © Waleed Giratalla, 2010 Abstract The ecological footprint of the average Canadian is three times greater than the global per capita biocapacity of the planet. The purpose of this research is to gain insights from intentional communities on how to reduce household ecological footprints in Canada. Intentional community is an inclusive term for a variety of community types, including ecovillages and cohousing, where residents have come together to achieve a common purpose. Studies show that intentional communities have per capita ecological footprints that are less than those of conventional communities. I corroborate these findings through my own ecological footprint analyses of Quayside Village and OUR Ecovillage, in southwestern British Columbia. These communities have per capita ecological footprints that are smaller than some conventional averages. Overall, Quayside Village and OUR Ecovillage also have comparatively similar per capita ecological footprints, suggesting that residents of both urban and rural intentional communities may demonstrate similar environmental behaviours. Intentional community living is currently confined to small‐scale grassroots initiatives so even the aggregate environmental benefits are insignificant. Municipalities and land developers can help to advance the pro‐environmental practices of intentional communities by increasing incentives for this community model and adapting intentional community practices to a conventional context.

  • Table of Contents
    Introduction Volumes 1 and 2 in this series address how to find your place in intentional community by either creating or joining one. But how can this experience—and communities themselves—last past the “honeymoon” phase? How can groups turn long-term ideals into reality within their lives together? A combination of “soft” and “hard” skills and systems must be present for intentional communities and their members to endure, evolve, and thrive. Sustainability in both human and ecological relationships is key to developing a cooperative culture that lasts— and is the focus of Wisdom of Communities Volumes 3 and 4. The stories in this final volume focus on the “hard,” practical skills and approaches that allow communitarians to live more ecologically now while preparing for the future. Authors share experiences, tools, advice, and perspectives that will benefit anyone who wants to help their community endure through changing local and planetary conditions. Articles explore the nuts and bolts of developing eco-resilience: food, water, and permaculture; shelter and eco-building; energy and ecological footprint; ecovillage design and implementation; eco-education; and finding resilience in cooperative culture. These areas will prove more and more essential in allowing communities to navigate changing circumstances on our planet while growing into new, regenerative ways of living. Learning about these “hard” sustainability skills from others engaged in similar work can help communities immeasurably. All articles are drawn from the past decade of Communities magazine. For this volume we drew heavily from our specifically eco-themed issues, of which we publish at least one a year. Some of these issues proved so popular that they are out of print and available (until now) only digitally.
