Oh god would I love to live here. I know it would be hard, but I bet it's extremely peaceful. I always site this as a successful anarchist community when people tell me anarchy never works.
fascinating comment, I just have one question, why is it that you wouldn't call twin oaks an anarchist community. (I know very little about twin oaks, I've only heard about it some two hours ago)
They have an organized system of rules. Structured work system. A board of overseer's. They make lots of money because of this. Do you not understand what anarchy means?
Well, we have 100 people and we choose three different ones for this video, because it was important to all of them. There are a dozen people over 60 in the community. Maybe next time we will have more elders in the video
have you bought the land now, I am watching the video 2 years later
Twin Oaks should expand. I know several people (including myself) looking to join an intentional community.
There are reasons the Purcell's don't want to sell the land. The situation is rather complicated -- at least it was when I was there.
It's 2019, make a crowd funding stuff!!

It would be easy for me to transition to this. It's the type of community I've always wanted to be a part of. I would like to visit sometime soon.

Was this land purchased by twin oaks?
Can we stay 3 weeks for a visit?
YEs, there are 3 week visitor periods open in 2020. Look at www.twinoaks.org for dates and the format for a visitor letter
What a beautiful video and wonderful illumination of the campaign!
Was it successful?
We bought 20 adjacent acres

Why wouldn't y'all have asked former members for their input?...?
Why do you think we did not? We certainly did and they supported this campaign
