Twin Oaks Communities Conference
August 29- September 1, 2025

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 — 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.

Since our post-pandemic reboot, each year’s TOCC has spotlighted two “themes” or “tracks“, with one theme focusing on diversity & equity and the other rotating by year. So every workshop slot will offer content on these themes, along with a variety of other workshops on more general intentional community topics. 

In the spirit of this extraordinary time, our first theme is “Resistance and Resilience: Confronting Challenges, Cultivating Possibilities”.

Workshops will explore promoting self-sufficiency and activism within communities, while also building a wider like-minded IC network. Other possible topics could include how ICs can support sanctuary services and protect threatened communities and individuals.

Our second theme is “Transforming Community Culture to support BIPOC and PGM Representation, Empowerment, and Long-Term Retention.”

Transformation requires breaking through Inner Resistance, to Become who we desire to Be! This is as true for the larger complex dynamics of Communities, Cultures, and Social Movements as it is for Individuals. Only Cultural Transformation can liberate us from unconsciously and unintentionally mirroring the biases we bring with us from the default society.
