'They have huge TVs': New generations are moving into communes
Hannah Pearl is raising her children in an intentional community where residents share land, values and support one another. But she doesn't want to "rough it" like she did when she was growing up.
Hannah Pearl, born in one of Australia's oldest intentional communities, raised her children the same way, valuing community and nature. The Tuntable Falls Coordination Co-op, where she now resides, was formed in the 1970s following the Aquarius Festival. The co-op has evolved over the decades, with older members preferring simpler, more modest living arrangements.
In contrast, Hannah's generation embraces larger homes and modern amenities. As Tuntable Falls' long-term residents face an aging population, they strive to maintain the community's values while accommodating new members.
