Abstract
Diggers & Dreamers has been following those who have been trying to ‘live the dream’ of communal living for the past 35 years. Through publishing a directory of UK intentional communities, including urban, rural, spiritual, secular, cohousing, and low-impact living models. Alongside insightful and engaging journal articles that give "snapshots" of communal life, capturing the social, political, and personal dynamics of community living.
This current edition contains a directory section with details of 150 plus communities across the UK and a variety of articles including:
• What happens to a community after it clocks up half a century (Crabapple at 50)
• News about the recent annual community conferences (The UK Communities Conference)
• Kirsten Stevens-Wood looks into what can happen when things go wrong in communities (When communities get into Trouble)
• A member spills the beans on the Commune in the North (Doing it in Doncaster.)
• Seasoned communard Laird Schaub asks is there a link between community values and community buildings? (The Relative Fluidity of Community Values and the Permanence of Community Buildings)
• And Diggers & Dreamers editors quiz themselves (What is Cohousing?)
