Homonym: Commune (Community)
A commune is a group of people living together and sharing resources, responsibilities, and often decision-making. This arrangement can be based on various principles, such as economic cooperation, social equality, or environmental sustainability. Communes can be found in different forms, including intentional communities, co-housing projects, and agricultural collectives.
In a commune, members typically collaborate on daily tasks, such as cooking, cleaning, and maintaining shared spaces. This lifestyle promotes a sense of community and can lead to stronger social bonds. Some well-known examples of communes include the Amana Colonies in Iowa and the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland.
