Don't do this to party. Do it if you want a challenge and to learn how to make the world a better place through community service projects, communal living, sustainable living practices and agriculture and learn how to reduce your impact on our earth. It's alternative, experimental nature and community connection is inspiring. Study culture and spirituality in a network of intentional communities.
