GLAD YOU ARE HERE
I'm Cynthia
After a decade of travel and work with over a hundred intentional communities, I'm living my community dream at an ecovillage in Vermont.
Honestly, money is still a concern. I worry about the future of the economy and my own finances, but let me tell you — it's all made so much easier by living in community! I have a network of support, a culture of sharing, and economic opportunities that never would have been possible otherwise.
Now I use what I've learned to help people just like you find a community that works with your finances. Whether you have enough for a down-payment or barely enough to get by, there are strategies you can use to get into a community that's comfortable for you.
