Alisa Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I can't go into too much detail at the time but I have recently applied to live in a intentional community (otherwise known as a commune) in Virginia. I had to go through alot of bureaucratic bullshit and there is a chance I might not get in due to health problems. There not severe but the commune had some bad cases in the past and are gun shy about letting new members in. There is a chance I might not get in. If I don't get into the one i have in mind I will try another one but I really want to get into my first choice because I love the environment/people. For the first time in my life I feel like my life is going in the right direction. So if you can cross your fingers for me and hope I can charm my way in.Alisa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pillowy star Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Will you have internet access there ? Seriously though, vibes over the big pond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 before giving out vibes willy nilly could you please let us know if this cult commune you want to join is for or against the skygod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yermom Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 ((((Vibes)))) for getting in. If they don't invite you to join the community, just assume it wasn't going to work out anyway because any group who doesn't want you as a member must actually be a pretty crummy group.

Alisa Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I lived in modesto moved to orlando FL in march. I am applying to Twin Oaks. Them and East Wind were founded by the same person (Kat Kincaid) so there sister community's. They were both based on the book Walden two (by BF Skinner)and income sharing. Twin Oaks is known for being the second hammock producer in the US and has a small line of tofu. There is also a small 15 person community also founded by Kat a few miles away called acorn. They run a seed company called southern exposure. If i don't get into TO I will go there or another smaller community in C'Vill. Eather way I am staying in Virginia and going to keep trying to get in. I hate tofu thoughalso the local radio station plays wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I love hammocks. what is C'ville? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 some time ago, the wife and I gave serious consideration to visiting the East Wind Community in Southern Missouri with thoughts of settling in if it proved a good match. Funny you mention that.........back in 94, I considered doing the exact same thing........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alisa Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 C'Vill = CharlottesvilleFunny i am picking up on the local lingo after three weeks I feel like Virginia is my home already. I lived in Florida for almost a year and I never considered it my home.I have no money otherwise I would go to east wind for awile to see how it is like there but my mind is set on twin oaks for my ultimate goal.

Alisa Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 So I didn't get in to Twin oaks. I am now living in a smaller community nearby. Im not entirely conferable with the new living situation and Have been considering East Wind. The thing is I don't know anybody in Missouri and would be somewhat stuck if they rejected me or if it didn't work. I gotten attached to Virginia in the past month but don't want to be in another living situation where I am not happy. But mabey since I only been hear a week and a half I haven't gave it enough time. I been told I can reapply for twin oaks in a year so if i stay I will still be somewhat connected to the community. Advice, words of confert? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viatroy Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Benedictus and kaplaa! dude I was at the Shaker complex here in Albany over the weekend, and heardlots of firsthand ghost stories from my friend who works there. The Shakercommunity is undead and well in Albany. Alisa, I say stay put for awhile (apparently everyone else does too) and see whatdevelops, community or otherwise.
