Northern/Central California commune?

Hello everyone!

I'm a newbie on this site and I joined because I have a serious interest in joining a commune. I would really like to stay in the N.Cal/Central Cal area but wouldn't dismiss any good opportunity, as long as it was in a moderate climate. I have spent several hours the last few days trying to get info on California communes, and without a whole lot of success. I am all ears and
would appreciate any and all input that you would like to share with me...PEACE!

 

Check the Santa Cruz area

 

Do you have any names or links or any info on how to find these places?

 

www.ic.org but i can tell you for a fact that most of the ones listed don't exist...

have you tried www.wwoof.org ? might be a better way to "break-into" communal life.

 

Thanks so much BoogaBaah...I will give these links a look...PEACE!

 

Boogabaah is right, ic.org is the place to go. And lots of the communities there are either forming - trying to get it together - or gone, so you will wind up doing some digging. The failure rate among new communities is pretty high.

You might check out the Oakland Morehouse - it has been a commune since 1968, I lived there for three years before I moved to Lafayette Morehouse in April. The Morehouse community has a whole process that helps people get acquainted with communal living and they teach courses about it.

 

the main problem with IC is they'll let anyone put a community on there.. without checking to see if it is REAL.. and once it's on there.. you can NOT delete it..

i know 3 separate people that have put their "commune" on there and they don't even have land or other people.. :frown:

george has a good idea.. communal houses. there's plenty of them about!

 

I think I have found where I want to go, and I'm ready to leave yesterday...
