In today's podcast, Sam Coffman discusses the concept of "Intentional Community" from the standpoint of preparedness and survival. "Intentional Community" can mean a lot of different things to different people.  Sam breaks down some different aspects of the idea of community into a few various levels that might make it easier to sort through how to go about forming your own community or communities of like-minded people.

Today, Sam talks about:

• What "intentional community" means
• What are 3 different levels of community?
• How do you go about finding and creating community based on those levels?
• How does stress affect community?
• What are the gathering points of community? The "watering holes?"
• How does The Human Path try to create community and put stress on people to help them come together?
• What are some of the things you should think about when choosing a school to learn skills (of any sort) at, and how does that relate to community for you?
