Geoph here. I'm passionate about making the world a better place, and living a great life in the pursuit thereof. My two primary areas of focus are: (1) promoting co-ops, cooperative attitudes & practices, and (2) building a sense of community, especially through living in "intentional communities."

Some of my primary involvements: The Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC)
 * Communities Directory
 * I was a core staff member on the first two editions, and still recruit listings from communities not yet listed.
 * Communities magazine
 * I have edited a couple of issues, and write the "Peripatetic Communitarian" column.
 * Visions of Utopia: Experiments in Sustainable Culture
 * I am the producer/director of this video documentary. It's about intentional communities throughout history, and contains 10-minute profiles of some diverse contemporary groups. Check it out. :-)

Co-op Camp Sierra
 * Celebrating it's 67th year in 2006! I've been on the staff since 1986, and have been a co-director since 1995.
