Welcome!
eurotopia is the name of a directory of intentional communities, communes, co-housing-projects and ecovillages in Europe. eurotopia is a printed book that can be bought from us or from any other bookstore. It has been compiled every three to five years since 1997 (see also FAQ). The current edition is available in English and German.
eurotopia is also this website, which deals with intentional communities and their relationship to the rest of the world. Find our definition of intentional communities here.
eurotopia has its origins in Germany: It is being compiled in/by members of Sieben Linden Ecovillage. Many volunteers helped to research communities and to put together the book.
In 2024 we will publish a new directory, so we are eager to learn about all communities out there that we might not know yet… and we are already contacting all communities that we do know. We also plan to offer an online directory because as much as we love our printed format, international shipping and distribution has become less fun every year in the past. This might actually be the start of a really exciting venture, because don’t let our neglected website fool you: eurotopia is the most comprehensive communities directory in place, at least for Europe. And that includes online recources. You have found this text, that’s great: Welcome aboard!
