Twin Oaks Communities Conference
Friday August 29 – Monday Sept 1
For over 50 years, the Twin Oaks Communities Conference (TOCC) has brought together people seeking intentional communities with folks who are already living in them. There are performances, tours, presentations, curated workshops on intentional community living, great food, and more!
Join us from August 29 – September 1, 2025 to network and learn about communities of all kinds — co-housing, co-ops, communes, ecovillages, and more — at one of the best-known intentional communities in North America. You’ll get something out of the conference whether you’re brand new to communities and cooperatives, or have been living and working in them for decades.

Convergence of Intentional Communities
Monday Sept 1 – Thursday Sept 4
Created by and for people who live in intentional communities, the Convergence of Intentional Communities (Convergence of ICs) has two core goals- to build stronger relationships between intentional communities, and to guide the networks & organizations supporting ICs on how to best serve member communities.
In cooperation with the Foundation for Intentional Community, we are proud to present the 2nd annual Convergence of Intentional Communities (CIC), September 1-4, 2025.
If you have ever wanted to have more influence on how communities interact with each other, this event is for you.
