New page focusing on Communities near Austin. Aug 17, 2007.
We should contact these places ahead of time to:
- make sure they're cool with visitors
- find out how long we can stay
- find out how much notice they need when we're coming
- find out if we'll have to pay, or if we can barter for room/board, or if there's anything they need we might be able to acquire
Other community resources:
- Directory of Intentional Communities at the FIC (organized geographically)
- Global Ecovillage Network
- federation of egalitarian communities
