Hello everyone, I am wondering if there are any communes worth exploring in Northern Cali. This is my first posting and I was just wondering if any of you could tell me, either on this thread, or in a pm, any useful advice that may answer my inquiry. I am just really down right now from all of this global depression, and I would love to find a great commune that is all for free love, peace, and harmony. Maybe I am just living in a haze, but I do believe there has got to be places out there that are exactly as I describe. You know, just living for music, the earth, happiness, and love. If you guys have nothing for me, I think I will go back up to Eugene, OR to live the kind life up there. A few years ago I lived up there to educate myself in a cool institution (UofO), and it was awesome, and would love to go back for years if I could. $$$ is an illusion, and it seems like we, apart from what so many say, are just pawns thoughout the whole cyle of life because of it. So, I would like to leave that structural way of thinking and seriously live off of very minimal amounts of money instead. By using the forest and whatever else I can get my hands on, ultimately to gain a better understanding of myself and the ways of true nature. Anyways, I hope all of you are well and living life to the fullest because you need to be. May the breeze carry you to your dreams
really, you guys don't have anything for me? i am really curious if there are any real and legit communes left. please let me know because I have tried the icdb.com thing and couldn't find anything, but I do know that these type of communes exist in california. I just need to find out where.
Damn if the same exact thing doens't get posted again and again and again. These days, I feel rather like HHB. We've had few come with any seriousness, mostly lazy sheep.
so you are telling me there aren't any free love communes or people that just camp and live off of the woods in Northern Cali? that has to be absurd. my dream is to play music for the world, and I feel like I have what it takes to become a part of a community like this. i just want to live in the woods and enjoy some company while I am doing it, you know, share some kush, some love, and happiness. i have an extensive knowledge of plants and their uses and plan to live off of them. like i said, all i am trying to do is find a community or a group of people that are willing to live for the same cause-live off the forest, no HOME but a tent, use fire, use herbs, and have equipment to live in nature.
too bad that so many look for a free ride , the "good life" of laid back and smoke and god forbid any real work.....spoile it for those who are not like that....and best believe I judge none....having glass windows that are breakable myself...But the nature of any community that is to survuve is work work work....followed by more work. And you know what...it comes to be something that is cherished....for those who can not believe the last...better find some community that only wants to be a flash in the pan till the first bills come due or the fat daddy wears thin...cause there is no community out there that is independent that does not require Work. have at it yee hah Blessings Namaste
brother, i am not looking to be a free-loader, actually, that is the exact opposite of what i am looking for....did i say anywhere in my post that i am looking for a free-ride? the answer is no, but i did say that I wanted to live off of the land and camp. i would love to live in a community that provides me with work, which could in end allow me to put food on 'the' table...just giving and receiving. A perfect place would be a place that provides work for residents which allows them to contribute to the whole, but in a serene "commune" environment. Let me know please, for I am not a free-loader by all means. Matter of fact, I would love to join the peace corps if I could but it looks like only college grads can go for right now, so....
free love is a myth to those that haven't experienced love at it's finest....without any constrictions, just free-natured love. pure love is free love bro!
since you insist on being our muse,please go into greater detail of what you envision the place for you as being.. and i aint your "bro" so please dont refer to me that way again. i find it condescending..
and let me tell you, even though I am young, I have seen a lot of love my friend despite being lonely for that past months. true love is conscious and impure love isn't Be well bro!
well, okay 'man'. first off, you are an asshole. second off, you are a lonely man. third off, the place i am looking for is already described early in this thread. i envision a place not to far from society, although still away from it, that has nature to live, grow, work, and share on. maybe somewhere in the redwoods, somewhere by humbolt, or basically anywhere in northern Cali.
hey i am not trying to joke and create drama....i am serious. put the popcorn away! sounds like this is going nowhere.
yeah i guess man....we'll see where it goes or for that matter where i go. who knows? maybe i will find a commune though REAL word of mouth, face-to-face networking....none of this bull. Good luck you may say, but i know i will find what i am looking for. I have for my whole life been great seeker, and I know i will find what i'm looking for, though patience is a virtue.
you came to the wrong place for real word of mouth networking.. noone on here but a buncha clueless visionaries like yourself and us grumpy old men who live it and love it and are tired of people like you asking to find a place that only exists in your mind.. when i (and obviously others on here ) see someone spew the words "free love" and "peace and harmony" as their requirements for a communal living situation its a instant red flag and i know you sure as hell aint meant for here or any other place i know of. i wouldnt recommend a place to you for that reason alone. so much more to the reality of communal living,but i aint wasting my metaphorical breath.
i just don't understand how you fools thought i was a just another free-loading ecstatic goat. you guys must not listen anymore....i said "free-love", which is universally known as love that is shared by all people that can love. now how can you go justifying that i am a free-loader? just based on the fact that i said "free-love"? man oh man, what has this world really come to??? :sad:
