The Resilient Communities Project is comprised of an experienced organizing team, multiple Pacific Northwest landholders with from 2 to 120 acres, and an initial formative group of prospective community members. We are forming a network of small socially and economically cooperative communities that can survive and thrive as the neoliberal system continues to unravel.
Many have floundered or failed at “intentional community” for a variety of reasons, including the fact that interpersonal relationships can be incredibly complex and challenging. What is required, then, for success? One ubiquitous failure of organizations, institutions, and communities is that they have lost the ability to learn from their mistakes so as to actually fix them. The Resilient Communities Project instead builds the ability to learn from both our successes and failures into everything we do. If we always remember that however much we know, it is not that much in the big scheme of things, never complete, and sometimes wrong, we can leave our egos at the gate and grow together in humility.
