It seems like everyone wants to start an intentional community these days. Some of my friends are crowdfunding land to build smart eco villages. Some others want to bring all of their internet friends together to the same neighborhood and raise kids together. There are at least a few VC-funded projects that intend to build an entire city, and even my own family might consider buying an old villa somewhere in Northern Italy if a bunch of people we know is going to settle there too.
If you can, you should make time to visit the Findhorn Foundation in North Scotland. Or you can read Eileen Caddy's fantastic book, Flight Into Freedom, about setting it up. I grew up nearby and would often visit, and I always felt better for having spent time there. These days the community is bigger than ever, with many new eco houses and businesses popping up.
Beautiful place, Matala! I stayed there for a day or two, to chill and snorkel, when I was doing an archeological road trip with my dad at age 15. (20y ago already 😅)
