New Culture DC
- Fellowship for Intentional Community
Mission: communication, community building, personal growth, social change
From www.ic.org/directory/new-culture-dc/:
New Culture DC is a non-land-based intentional community of over a hundred people in the DC/Baltimore region. Our members are those who have experienced New Culture at an event, gathering, workshop, or at an intentional community based on New Culture, and choose to become part of our intense and intimate network.NCDC sees community as a means to social change, and one of our goals is to encourage our members to live in ways which serve as models of healthy ways of relating to the Earth and to each other. We see our community as a means to produce a world without fear, violence, coercion, or sexual repression. We believe that there are several key components to realizing this vision: self-responsible individuals; mutual support, honesty and openness in interpersonal relationships, a realization that means determine ends, and a realization that the personal is political — that is, a commitment to personal growth and change.
We are the DC New Culture group. There are also local New Culture groups in Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Massachusetts; and there are intentional communities based on NFNC principles in Virginia, West Virginia, Washington State, California, Hawaii, and Oregon. To facilitate the community-forming and personal growth process, and to enrich our connections with each other, we hold conferences, workshops, and camps throughout the year, as well as many informal gatherings. Often, New Culture people will become housemates, forming a kind of mini-intentional community.
