Or alternatively stay right where you are and turn where you live into a
community.

If you are moving from a city or suburb and looking for a place where
people work together generally you have a couple of already established
option.
First is that there are numbers of eco-villages already thriving in
various states, and you can join one- google for eco-village or co-housing-
lots
of them follow the Findhorn example and work on cooperation principles
with like-minded principles. My Sister and her husband live there, and all
does not always go smoothly, but gets worked out.
If you are not that much of a joiner- just want a simple small community-
there are thousands of those in the US in places with strong agricultural
economies. Pick a climate you like- go there- join a community group or a
church and presto - friends and a nice rural lifestyle. So many folks from
developed areas forget that rural America is the lifestyle of their dreams.
