Intentional community

An intentional community is a group of people who have chosen to live together to pursue a social arrangement or way of life that they consider desirable. Such communities have been formed with the intention of creating spiritual oases, of realising 'hippie', bohemian, or countercultural modes of existence, or of inhabiting harmonious economic and social structures. The lack of such values in the broader society is always implied.

Intentional communities have often been rural. This provides space to create, and space away from the stricken horde. But they may also be urban. For example, a shared house is almost an intentional community, and if its members share a cooperative means of earning a livelihood then it is an intentional community.
