RE: Spiritual Communities?
ORIGINAL: sunanda
There is a book listing places for spiritual retreats but I'm afraid I don't know the name.
For India there is a great directory called 'From here to Nirvana' which is a listing of ashrams - how to get there, what their ethos is, how much it costs to stay, what the dress code is = that sort of thing.
Certainly it would be good if the same sort of publication were available for UK.
Hey, David, maybe we should get together and write and publish one. Now, there's a thought.
Okeedoke. 😉
You know, there were so fewer spiritual communities in the mid-70s that they were all contained and listed in just two books! - "The Pilgrim's Guide to North America" and "The Pilgrim's Guide to Planet Earth". Then again, if you kept the entries short, perhaps something like that is just about possible.
If it doesn't exist, what would be needed is, say, "The Pilgrim's Guide to India and Nepal"? That's doable. It also isn't limited to communities.
Hi everyone,
Sorry to resurrect a 10+ yo thread from the depths of the interwebs, but as this thread ranks on top in Google for searches related to "joining a spiritual community", I just wanted to follow up on the topic - any spiritually/consciousness minded communities out there that are happy to accept new members?
I'm currently looking to leave my busy London life behind and it's proving rather difficult - the existing "famous" places like Findhorn aren't at all easy to just "move into" and start contributing. I'm ideally looking for somewhere I can rent/contribute/buy a share, as I'm ok financially and understand that most self-sustaining communities usually are not cash-rich.
I'm into green living, spirituality, yoga, meditation, gardening and currently am working on a retreat project that can potentially bring a lot of attention, visitors and business into any community.
Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone! 😉
Hi George,
No problem resurrecting the thread, as you've done it for good reason.
I can't think what other 'well known' communities there are, but have you taken a trip to Glastonbury and asked around there, or looked at the adverts in most of the shops around there. That's the sort of thing that is often advertised.
Hi guys! I'm from Peru and looking for the same! Intentional communities. Although working in London as Cabin Crew I'd like to find a intentional community place to live, being able to move London twice a week for my flights aprox. Please, let me know if you found something! Thank you!
