Blueprints for Belonging: Conversations on Creating Intentional Communities
"Blueprints for Belonging: Conversations on Creating Intentional Communities" is a monthly event where host Cynthia engages with innovative founders and experts in intentional communities.
Each session is a deep dive into their experiences, challenges, and successes in community building, offering invaluable insights and practical advice for aspiring community creators. This series is an ideal platform for learning, sharing, and connecting with visionaries dedicated to cultivating sustainable and harmonious communal living.
In June, we welcome Patrick Hiebert, the founder and CEO of EcoVillages, a freedom and self-sustainability focused community development company.
Patrick has been designing eco-sensible and self-sustainable communities for several decades. After founding several high-tech software companies and selling them, Patrick and his son lived on a boat and sailed the ocean. It was here that they honed their craft of self-reliant living, generating and conserving power and fresh water, and focusing on sustainability and freedom.

This month we visit with three intentional communities in Vermont, USA.
� Cobb Hill Cohousing
Cobb Hill, in Hartland, Vermont, is located in the Upper Valley region of the Connecticut River valley. It was formed through the purchase of two adjoining former dairy farms creating a total of 270 acres. The land includes barns and a silo, 15 acres of prime agricultural land, high pastures, a large regenerating forest (including a 1000-maple sugarbush), and a small stream and pond. Today the community is home to about 50 people in 28 homes designed for sustainability, plus about 50 cows and 50 chickens. There are multiple non-profits and small enterprises on the land including cheese making, maple syrup, raising sheep, beekeeping, and more. The guiding principles of Cobb Hill are: unity, community, equity, sustainability and synergy.
� Living Tree Alliance
Living Tree Cohousing is a 91-acre kibbutz-inspired village in the heart of the Mad River Valley, Vermont. Living Tree Alliance is a multigenerational, ecologically driven community of individuals and families actively building a meaningful, integrated life experience based on authenticity, connection to land, spirituality, resiliency, communication and collaboration. Together they are redefining community, regenerating land, and revitalizing culture. Their approved plan is for seven residences, a common house, and workshop on three of the 91 acres of land. The village design is compact, accessible and ecologically oriented, balancing the dynamics of community engagement with the needs for personal space.
� Rah Rah Village
This growing ecovillage and intentional community is located on 23 acres in beautiful southern Vermont since 2001. Their values are respect for nature and each other. “F

FEATURED COMMUNITIES:
The Hive
The Hive is a collective with a culture of sharing in Portland, Oregon. We are a home that holds space for the broader community and each other as a chosen family. We are working on intentional communication, anti-oppressive practices and building resiliency.
Headwaters Ecovillage
Headwaters is a multi-generational community nestled into the wooded hills of Cabot, Vermont. The community began in 2011 and today consists of 8 households on 14 acres. They are situated at the headwaters of the Winooski River, hence the name. Most households have built their homes using natural or sustainable building techniques. Homes are clustered near each other to allow for greater shared open space. The design of the community is loosely based on permaculture principles.
Village Hearth Cohousing
We are an LGBTQ+ focused, 55+, community in Durham, NC, with 15 acres of wooded land just 15 minutes from downtown Durham. We are gay and straight, single and coupled, working and retired, from Durham and beyond, and we represent a variety of professions, skills, and interests. Our Vision is to live in an active, caring community with the infrastructure to age in place, balancing the privacy of a smaller sustainable dwelling with opportunities for social engagement and the support of the larger community.
