Start living the life you want in community!
Ecovillages, cohousing, co-ops, permaculture centers… With so many different kinds and styles of community living, it can feel overwhelming to know what is best for you.

Hi, I’m Cynthia and I’m here to help you find your community.
Over the past decade I’ve traveled to over two hundred intentional communities worldwide. I’ve seen all the things that can go right, and all the things that can go terribly wrong with finding a new community.
Now I help people from all backgrounds to find the community that is best for them. Save time and energy by avoiding misaligned communities.
It’s my passion and pleasure to get you connected with the specific communities that are a good fit for YOU— based on your needs, your values, and your lifestyle.

FAQs
I'm not sure if I want to join a community yet. Should I still book a session with you?
Many people choose to have a session before they are 100% sure they want to join a community because they want to start learning about what their options are and get guidance on if community living is right for them. If you don’t feel ready, how about taking the Community Type Quiz? It’s free and a great way to start learning about communities that may be a fit for you. .
I want to start a community instead of join one. What should I do?
Keep in mind that joining an established community is way easier than trying to start one, and you may be suprised that a community that is close to your vision already exsits.
If you are seriously interested in starting a community and want consultancy on your next steps, sign-up for a Community Starters Consult. You’ll get advice specific to your project as well as introductions where apprioprate.
In what parts of the world can you recommend communities?
I can recommend communities in all regions of the world. That said, I have the most experience visiting communities in North and Central America, Europe, and India. I mostly work with Americans or Europeans looking for communities at home or abroad. Feel free to contact me if you are unsure if I can help you with the region you are interested in.
Will you put me in direct contact with my recommended communities?
After our matchmaking session you will receive your personal list of recommended communities, including links to learn more about them and a short description of why I think each community could be a good fit for you. I encourage clients to first contact the communities they are most interested in on their own. If for some reason you don’t hear back from a community you are excited about or it seems especially fitting, I’ll put you in touch with a connection at the community if I have one.
Do you offer a lower rate for low-income individuals?
Yes! Please contact me to inquire about my sliding scale rate.
I still have questions. How do I contact you?
Head over to the contact page and I’m happy to help. Looking forward to being in touch!
