- Welcome to Planet Community! In our pilot episode we explore Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, in Northeastern Missouri.
Dancing Rabbit is a living experiment to uncover how to live more sustainably. They are doing this cooperatively, because they believe it is the secret ingredient to resiliency.
Witness life in an ecovillage, the values that drive them, and how it can be done on about 1/10th of the average resources and footprint.

What's is Planet Community all about?
Let’s get real. We are facing multiple, interconnected global dangers, rooted in the exploitation of people and planet. These dangers include climate change, wealth disparity, and social injustice.
These are co-created and mutually reinforcing problems. They are systemic, and systemic problems require holistic solutions.
What do community solutions look like?
Whether it’s a small group in a collective household or hundreds of people on a piece of land, intentional communities are micro-societies offering insights into living a cooperative set of values.
They are living laboratories working to create and model whole systems, integrated locally to globally.
Join the Movement!
Join us to witness, connect to, and learn from inspiring communities that are leading the way in cooperation, sharing, and resiliency!

We need more men like him that doesn’t breed violence within his sons. And how he acknowledges social inequalities not because they effect him in a poor way, But because they effect others in a poor way.
Life isn’t about me me me. A core belief within these communities
This is a well made film, perfectly suited to sharing with our "Green Apprenticeship" permaculture design and training students, as well as my community, Kibbutz Lotan, as we set off into a new stage of community development. Thanks to Aaron Murphy and Rae Machado for making the film and the FIC for nurturing this project and sharing it openly with the world. Good health and good fortune to our friends at Dancing Rabbit for your radiant efforts at making something that ain't perfect, just much better, which is inspiring.
Love how this video turned out. Great job! Very good info and cinematography.
Would love to live this way but with more diversity of cultures . Beautiful film . Thank you
Vegan Vocalist yea same
I actually sold some coffee to a man from this village today. Very nice guy :)
Well done! This is a big truth that needs to be broadcasted far and wide. A functioning community w/ a track record is in a strong position to model for those that are seeking a better life.
Yes! It's time for this to be happening. I hope the subsequent videos will share tools and information that people in all kinds of communities can begin to use. For example, until I find my residential intentional community, I am President of our local TimeBank. It's another kind of cooperative community. I hope all of us can share.
❤
THIS sounds beautiful...
How do I move here with my kids?
Great video Wish you would do more videos to display DR on a day to day basis to let people get a glimpse in to community life. Thanks for all you do.
Sustainable eco village community living is best way to live healthy life. Easy way to learn from different people and enjoy with them. In India BURE also give you great experience in sustainable communities living
Thank you so much for this channel! I'm obsessed with intentional community - I can't wait to learn!
Dancing Rabbit is good and so is the video. It's about 5 hrs north of Ozark Dawn Community near Joplin, which has a mixture of vegetarians and meat-eaters, ages 3 to 60+. We have advertized for decades with FIC, few visitors. We also provide a homebase for truckers.We have an Airbnb biz plus a btc biz, etc. Vacancy for 3 adults or a family of 4. Plus hookups for your RVs, etc. Our Organic Garden/Herbs are registered with wwoof.org Tip: Each video might point out one challenge in each community so its more authenic. What is DR's statistics?
Wonderful. A positive message that is great to share.
Very beautiful
Fantastic
Problems that I find with these eco-villages:
1. What if somebody has aspirations for a professional career? Like an engineer, or scientist, or physician?
2. What about healthcare? Healthcare is insanely expensive in the United States. How can you afford quality healthcare?
Good food and love stops people getting I’ll I’ll health is mental when unhappy get I’ll
One issue with this ecovillage and that is there are some mentally broken people who are in positions of power. So, word to the wise, if you leave their visitor program WITHOUT telling them and then reapply they will deny you. Why? Because you did not tell them, which is utter BS. Then do not express yourself because then their high and mighty selves will deem you 'unfit'. I had been visiting DR for nearly 8yrs and had to leave because my partner at the time was uncomfortable with the Visitor Rep who showed up wearing PJs and caring a Vodka bottle full of clear liquid and not cognitive. Even the owner of the B&B said he was not a 'good choice/fit'. And when I was denied of course I was angry and they DR do not do or can handle someone who is justifiably angry for being 'wronged'. Basically, I have come to terms that if they want that 'individual' who has mental issues and is lazy over myself who has an advanced medical education and building and permerculture skills... well that is ok, because I found an ecovillage that appreciates what I offer. I will say I am heart-broken because I made great friends and connections and because of one individual my dreams were taken. I will say DR is the most simulating Eco 'village' in the United States. I will never return or assist them because if they can't police themselves and make bad membership decisions that means the next bad decision will happen. I do not recommend and if you want I am willing to talk and discuss more in person or over the phone.
Looks hippie but very cool.
@~2:50 regarding "inner sustainability" and what we need to not "burn out" - i think that is the most important consideration, especially 1, for our relatively spoiled younger generation,z, and 2, if there were MORE PEOPLE (with good, lively energies) working cooperatively, then it would make it much easier, "to replenish ourselves"... and easier said than done (sigh), buuut..
how are gen z spoiled more than millennials or x? the way I see it, they were cursed with the blight of social media and have to deal with the depression that comes with it. At least millennials chose that fate for themselves
Did that dude say diversity? Lol didn’t see one black person. These people are too much man.
Thorn Matthew lol fr
The lady right after talking about not being judged there is good too -- you don't need to be judged when you are inoculated with ideology that mandates self-judgement lol
Diversity comes in more than just color.
Idk about the social justice stuff but it is cool.
Community that doesn't judge people while judging people. I am trying to search for more ways to be community driven. Hopefully the rest of the villages are all woke liberals
How many of these people in the video support trump you think. I’d say at least half
It looks lovely, very much like the community I am part of. However it is very sad to me that the ethos/paradigm of 'environmentally friendly', 'sustainable', 'social injustice', and being a "safe space", is so narrowly envisioned. This is not unusual as most folk joining these "eco-villages" are already culturally saturated with a blindness to their biggest footprint. That which crushes Nature and other sentient beings, underfoot. There is no 'justice' for the innocent, no equality or recognition that other non-humans, wish to live, enjoy life and be free from pain, slavery, suffering, and a sudden and often agonizing death. Personally, the only truly innovative communities, the ones that are setting a better example of how we can live in peace and prosper, are those founded on equality for all. Some Buddhist communities do this, as do wonderful examples like Tamera in Portugal, just sad that they are still in the minority. I do however believe that a new consciousness is spreading and that this will change for the better., but it would have been nice to see such examples set by the residents of Dancing Rabbit too. :(
SSJ . really....i can tell you, failure is around the corner for this experiment
why?
@@nurailidepaepe2783 the first dude's with over-inflated ego bragging how 'we've reduced our impact on the environment..' as you look around and see all the factory sourced materials,,which offset any factors he was claiming ..and clearly you can see these people are not at all disconnected from the grid ,,they are just playing around and one day it will crumble
@@phigupot8976I've been think a lot lately about a completely self sustaining community that grows and transitions from bushcraft, to a money-less economy that produces everything internally. With the exception of initially importing a lot of steel stock for smithing, but thereafter carefully melting down and recycling each bit of metal. With a focus on the value that mastering a skill, trade, or craft bring to a person's life. Using research in psychology, sociology, well-being, community, sustainability to inform the principles adopted by the community. This would mean: no electricity, no tropical fruit, no chocolate, no cotton, no rubber, the list goes on. But I don't think those things are essential to wellbeing. It's a thought experiment, but I've been having a lot of fun with it. Makes you think about each aspect of life.
@@phigupot8976 The factory sourced materials you see are reclaimed items, per their ethos. They are on the grid, but they are net-exporters of energy via their solar infrastructure.
