About this audiobook
Diana Leafe Christian tells us, "All of us have a gene for community, and we're yearning for that sense of connection and harmony and good will with others, living with shared resources and more cooperation than we do in mainstream culture." A resurgence of interest in joining with like-minded individuals and families to live in support of one another, sharing a common vision in work, play, lifestyle and spirituality, has led to a rise in the number of intentional communities around the globe.
