Preferred term

intentional communities and their survival  

Definition(s)

  • There can be many measures of success for intentional communities, including the personal growth experienced by members, the moral example set by a group that rejects the corruption of the surrounding world, and the cultural creativity of people who share a remarkable spiritual or aesthetic sensitivity. Yet perhaps the most compelling measure is the sheer ability of the community to survive.
