Moora Moora is on a mountain of beauty, art and healing. Our relationships
with each other and the Earth create an opportunity for raising
consciousness, which in turn transforms humanity.

Living in Community
Moora Moora is just one of many intentional communities around Australia and the world. They go by various names - housing cooperatives, eco-villages, intentional communities, communes, co-housing and so on. And living in a community where some or all of your facilities are shared makes use of some special skills and knowledge. Community and co-operation can also be a significant force in our social organisations and personal relationships.
We have set up this page to help you explore various aspects of living in community - not just at Moora Moora. We hope that you will find these web sites and resources interesting and useful.
