We recently had an intriguing conversation about the (un)sustainability of communal living. Paul, who has lived at Lofstedt Farm in Kaslo, B.C., for the past 5 years, said that he doesn&#8217;t think living communally is sustainable. From his perspective, &#8220;it&#8217;s tiring.&#8221;
His opinion comes both from [...]]]></description>

There is one community I had been postponing writing about. This group of people so embodies what we have been seeking on this trip that to put their story into a single posting seemed a daunting task.
Prairie&#8217;s Edge Eco-Village, in rural Manitoba, aims to live [...]]]></description>

Bonnie&#8217;s home in Pic River.
What seems like lifetimes ago now, when we were staying with the Belzers in Nova Scotia, Ed Belzer said something that has stayed with me ever since.
&#8220;The best thing I can do for myself,&#8221; he said, &#8220;is to surround myself by [...]]]></description>

Ed Belzer and his grandson Joe tilling the garden.
We city-folk, myself included, tend to romanticize rural life. As we visit these communities, and see them for a brief moment through our outsiders&#8217; eyes, it&#8217;s easy to continue this tendency. We probably don&#8217;t see a lot [...]]]></description>

Maison Emmanuel
A lot of the people we are meeting talk about community as an alternative to institutionalization.
Nowhere has this been more tangible than with the communities of people with disabilities with whom we have spent time &#8212; l&#8217;Arche Saint John (described in the previous posting) [...]]]></description>

&#8220;If we are accepted with our limitations as well as our abilities, community gradually becomes a place of liberation.&#8221;
I am sitting at the kitchen table in a community called l&#8217;Arche Saint John, in Saint John New Brunswick.

Touring the Waldegrave farm with participants from the Otesha Project
For me, this trip is largely about matching our behaviours to our words; about putting our philosophies and theories and complaints aside, and replacing them with tangible, authentic action.
One community we visited, a place called Waldegrave [...]]]></description>
