These are some of the questions my guest Ma’ikwe Ludwig, author of Together Resilient, examines with us during our conversation. She also addresses how intentional communities help to create resilience for members, dispels some of the hippie myths about communal living, and gives us an overview of the different types of intentional communities. She also shares how shared values or needs bind us together, and how communities fail. In the end, this interview is about creating a cooperative culture so that together we can lean into one another and create the resilience required in order to live with abundance and joy, whatever the future may hold. After listening to this interview, what are your thoughts on intentional communities? Do you live in one or are you considering it? Let me know by leaving a comment.
