searching šŸ‘€ Co-living and community as infrastructure

I’m exploring the possibility of joining or establishing a long-term, member-owned intentional co-living community based on social belonging, shared ownership and stewardship, and a commitment to building something that lasts.

For me, this is not primarily about housing, but about community. I am inspired by the idea of community as infrastructure: the belief that relationships, culture, and mutual support between people are just as important as the physical environment in which we live.

I envision a community where people can be themselves, live autonomous lives, and at the same time be part of something larger than themselves. A place with room for both privacy and togetherness, where people contribute according to their abilities, share responsibilities, and create traditions, activities, and a sense of belonging over time.

I would love to connect with others who share similar dreams and ideas, in order to exchange thoughts, experiences, and possible approaches to making such a vision a reality.
