About us
We are interested in supporting the growth of intentional communities and ecovillages in the St. Louis Area. This means helping people find each other, find the projects that meet their needs, share strategies and resources, and build community across projects and groups.
A diverse range of folks and interests show up at our meetings, though people tend to be community-minded, oriented toward social change, and with a bent toward ecologically-minded living. If at some time you have become excited about sharing resources, wanted to feel more connected to your neighbors, or worked to reduce your impact on the planet, this Meetup could be for you!
Note: This group was started as "Intentional Community St. Louis" in 2011, and, as of August 2013, has been revitalized by combining with a group that has been meeting around these topics since late 2012, the St. Louis Ecovillage Network.

Seniors in Cohousing Forum: Sharing Challenges & Best Practices (Boulder, CO)
Silver Sage Village Senior Cohousing, 1650 Yellow Pine Ave, Boulder, CO 80304, USA, Boulder, CO, US38 attendees from 6 groupsAs seniors living in cohousing neighborhoods, we've all come to experience the joys and challenges of community. We have homes, Common Houses, and physical and social structures designed, in some cases decades ago, for ourselves at an earlier age, with different priorities and needs than what we are experiencing today.
The realities of aging in community often unfold in ways that weren't anticipated. What are cohousing communities--both intergenerational and senior--doing to navigate these challenges and be resilient?
EXPLORE WITH US in a day-long interactive Forum featuring senior residents from various communities, sharing best practices, challenges and what we have learned about the important issues of aging in community.
For each key topic, we envision a circle of 8-15 speakers from a range of communities—plus interested listeners. Facilitators will bring in a variety of different communities' perspectives on key topics identified based on suggestions from participants and their communities, and by you, with the survey below, open to all.| When: | Sunday, October 25, from 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM |
