<p>Best of Communities: I.

These 15 articles in “Intentional Community Overview and Starting a Community” provide a peek behind the curtain at some the pitfalls and challenges facing community builders, so that you’ll have a more realistic idea of what it will take to survive your start-up years and actually become a home. You’ll find first-hand stories from forming communities, as well as sage advice about legal structures, the importance of community spirit, how to understand “cults” as a pejorative label, how to assess prospective property, and the importance of making process agreements before you need to apply them.

XV. The Peripatetic Communitarian - The Best of Geoph Kozeny Geoph wrote a back-page essay for Communities for nearly 15 years.After living in community (in a variety of settings) for most of his 20s and 30s, Geoph went on the road to visit communities and promote them January 1, 1988. He died of pancreatic cancer in 2007, less than three months shy of being the peripatetic communitarian for two full decades. It was an amazing achievement and dedication, which benefited us all. The Peripatetic Communitarian – The Best of Geoph Kozeny bundle features 53 of his best efforts peering behind the curtain of community living. Now that he’s gone, we have no more to look forward to, but at least we have this bundle to help savor his inspiration and timeless insights for a long time to come. Thank you, Geoph!
