1 Corbin { 03.27.10 at 2:33 pm }: Hi, I’m Corbin from Idyllia West, an income sharing commune forming somewhere in the Western Washington, Oregon, Nor Cali area (wherever we can get the land). I saw your ad in off-grid and was curious to know how things are progressing as far as getting others to go in with you on the land in Yale, WA.

My wife and I are trying to form a commune called Idyllia West and are seeking others to help found the commune. If you’re interested, please respond or for more info you can find us on the web. http://directory.ic.org/22671/Idyllia_West

I’d like to learn more about your plans and your thoughts on the future for the middle class in America (you know, the only ones who CAN’T get government bailouts :). If you have a moment pls drop us a line or check the ic.org site for more info.
2 C Holmes { 08.31.10 at 8:27 am }: Many have aspired to high ideals, manifesting broad expression of “commune”.
Yearned for, so long, I may never see it~that magical community/commune that actually works.
I thought we’d found it; we struggled hard to buy 10 acres. Figured area could support group of small-holders with similar ideals & goals.
I put much energy into manifesting like-minded people! People bot acreage nearby; SEEMED on similar wavelength.
We rejoiced & welcomed them!
Farmletts bloomed, small businesses grew. Creatively, they sparkle!
They seemed like really nice people.

Then one damaged person moved back after decades absence, talked trash, manipulated, threatened, connived.
Then a few more people started having anger-management issues over things that made no sense, or were all/part imagined.
A few thefts, item[s] later seen on others property.

Misunderstandings, pain/fear/anger so thick for years, it could be cut with a dull rock.
Those who exploded anger & spun wicked fictions about others, claim they were the ones harmed.
Ones harmed by those with anger management issues live in fear, hide/avoid, have generally withdrawn from community.
Those claiming neutrality have managed to invalidate & betray ones hurt by the bullying episodes.

It’s literally Heart-Breaking.

What does Consensus community do then?
What if the involved claim they practice consensus problem solving?
What does a Consensus Commune do about/with elderly, infirm, disabled or developmentally different people?

If someone joins while healthy, then gets disabled, What is their place in Commune?
[Some communities keep them, others do their best to get them to leave, one way or another.]
Does everyone have some value to add to community -Or- are some jobs more valued?
Is everything shared?
Some personally owned?
Shared living to what degree?
How far does “communal” go?
Are there models for conflict resolution in that setting?
When those who claim they practice consensus, yet vilify one or more people for unknown or baseless complaints, what then?

I really would like to hear/understand more of your ideas, philosophies & plans.
