Action: The Future Is Here
In this time of coming changes, long foretold, it is time, once again, to act.
As a mixed race, modern-day, New Mexico pueblo 21-year-old, Lisel Martinez has been glad to be safely home, co-creating an odd kind of shared life with three California housemates picked up along the way when, once upon a time, she was (much less safely) trying to survive out in the larger world.
Personally, she would be content to do nothing more than keep puttering around in the ever-expanding garden out behind her ramshackle home for the rest of her life ... except Life for indians (or maybe everybody these days?) just seems to keep getting harder, even after everything her people across the nation have already been through.
A photo-illustrated, novella-length combination of fiction + contemporary/historical fact, if old-time grandmothers are correct, during times of upheaval when Earth is being reborn, it's important to act ... and Lisel's friends have come up with a once-in-a-lifetime plan to do just that.

Doing Intentional Community:
Expanded 2023 Edition
What exactly is "intentional community?" And how does one go about co-creating it?
Are there typical hurdles to overcome?
In the Green/Sustainable Living Movement, the term "community" often means folks coming together to create some form of shared home space: from co-housing co-ops in cities, to permaculture or off-the-grid nature-based country retreats ... from separatist women's or people of color lands, to communities aimed at unplugging from the wider world's repressive "systems" as much as humanly possible.
The illustrated, creative non-fiction account DOING INTENTIONAL COMMUNITY: Expanded 2023 Edition follows building a certain type of artistic/spiritual co-home adventure on the Big Island of Hawaii from the ground up ... and how this particular, now-worldwide real sense of community continues to transform today.
Like a prismatic drop in the ocean, beyond just being a collection of individuals, global "intentional community" can also equate to entire villages, cities, and nations in the process of cultivating a common history and shared economic/political/spiritual goals.
What is "world peace," if not that?
