Neo-Tribes

I just found a group on facebook called Neo-Tribes for the building of "intentional communities". If anyone else is interested please join, as we need all the connections we can get. This was my introduction:
"Hi, I'm an unemployed art/philosophy blogger. I don't really have any friends, and feel most connected to the travelers I receive through Couchsurfing and other sites. They're very open-minded people, and ironically, I've found that they often understand things I say that would be awkward with people I actually know. But, I usually only see them once, as we live too far apart to keep in touch.
It's my dream to find like-minded people to learn together, teach each other new skills and use them to collaborate on any kind of creative project.
This summer I met some people who I was hoping to help start an earthship commune with in Taos, New Mexico, so to be ahead of the holiday season I bought my flight ticket for just two weeks later, but just as I was going to enroll in the earthship academy, one of them felt like it was going too fast and broke off contact.
So if anyone else is interested in getting help, let me start by saying what I was probably too late to say to them, that I'm interested in helping even if I don't get to stay in the commune. I apparently cannot emphasize this enough. We need to connect to form an international community, so that we can share resources, information and people that might be needed in one project but not another. For example, I can advise anyone interested in starting a commune to look up earthships, geodomes, and opensourceecology ."
think networking is the first step. Once we know the right kind of people, the only thing that's left to do is start building the thing, and once we know those people we'll know what resources we have and what we can do with them. Until then we don't even know where we'd build the thing — it might as well be in Thailand for all we know, because we'll have to move anyway, and then we might not even have to worry about money — so we don't have to think about the practical side just yet. We just need to network network network and the rest will just fall in place. Especially since the first step is finding people we click with, because otherwise what's the point?
I've already joined workaway, helpx, couchsurfing, airbnb, nightswapping, bewelcome, hospitalityclub, globalfreeloaders and warmshowers. I guess these communities are the first step: we don't necessarily need to start with physical communities, and besides, we could find people to start physical communities through these websites as well. Also, some people could open their houses to people on the long-term and gradually turn them into communes. I'm unable to host anyone on the long-term in any one place because I share my grandfather's old house with my parents. However, if you're willing to come with me every week from my grandfather's to their house (so you don't disturb their privacy) you can stay on the long-term to exchange ideas and collaborate. In my grandfather's old house there's lots of space and power tools to experiment with projects, and my father, a DIYer, might even be interested in helping.
