These Eco Domes Are Creating The Future Of Communal Living - The Nature Channel

In this video we explore how these eco domes are creating the future of communal living. Just imagine living in a stunning, light-drenched, circular home—designed to align with the rhythms of your body and the natural world. Built with sacred geometry and non-toxic, mold-resistant materials, this home can withstand natural disasters and last for generations.

Ericka wrote this last year (and we gratefully posted it) and it has turned out to be only too prophetic and still very needed.

commune life

"Our possessions have become shared, ownership is fluid. Small appliances are constantly exchanged between my sister and I. We trade meals and split resources. This arrangement goes far beyond borrowing a cup of sugar: we pool resources together in order to save money, increase our quality of life, and reduce the amount of stuff we each have to own and store. It’s been eye-opening..."

Just looking into this event - looks awesome: "Feÿtopia Open Science & Human Pyramids"

https://feytopia.com/events/openscience-humanpyramids2

I've wanted to visit #Feÿtopia for a while (a seasonal commune in a French château...) and this seems like it might be the crossover for me (#OpenScience + #communalLiving!? Let's go!)

Anyone else from my fediverse networks thinking of going?

Thinking about how when I was young, I thought I’d live communally forever. I lived in group houses for many, many years without issue. Then around the 2010s I moved to a city where addiction, violence and untreated mental illness were much more prevalent inside and outside of the punk scene. I had housemates invite a friend with a heroin addiction to stay with us. They didn’t tell me about his addiction but suddenly our belongings began to disappear.

Another time after someone in our community was murdered, I walked into my home to find a loaded gun on the kitchen table. The owner was a housemate who loved alcohol & recreational drugs and knew nothing about gun safety. The murder frightened him so he decided to arm himself. In later years, he got stabbed buying drugs and eventually died of his own recklessness.

It’s just funny to look back at how idealistic you can be when you’re young and haven’t yet seen how complicated and gritty life can get. #OldPunkThoughts #GenX #Communalism #CommunalLiving

Greetings from Ca La Fou

Ca La Fou is a pretty special place, they describe themselves as a post-capitalist, eco-industrial colony, they have amongst others a very rad hacker-lab, and a bunch of people living there permanently.

I only visited it once, during an epic road trip with Quiet Riot Girl (RIP) who was part of the Junk Raft Armada (see above quote/link to their blog) and I loved it. This was over ten years ago, so I don’t know what’s been happening there.

If you would happen to be in Catalunya you should visit them. Snd they have a website to check what they are up to: https://archive.calafou.org/ (it seems like they were/are planning to move to https://calafou.org/ but that’s just a holding page first now).

Episode 5.10: The Us vs Them of Community: Ariel & Christina Discuss

On some very serious level, it’s just not solarpunk if it’s not about a community taking action to make the world a better place. Individualism: it’s just so wrong. It’s fair to say that, not just in solarpunk, but in our cultures, “community” is right up there with “children” as an idea of something inherently good, moral, and wonderful. Community is worshiped as an answer to our problems. But Christina gets a sinking feeling every time she reads a solarpunk story that idolizes community.In this episode, Christina tries to figure out why she’s so suspicious of community and so afraid of being suffocated by the rules, regulations, and norms of community. Join us for our Season 5 closer in which she and Ariel peek at community’s darker sides, like infighting, conformity, the potential for ostracizing people who don’t conform, and the fact that the existence of a community automatically creates a them.
