- Опубліковано 18 лип 2017
- Founder and resident of an Intentional Community, Bianca Heyming shares how living with many people is not simply "Bliss, Love, and Light," but in addition a commitment to personal development, vulnerability, and hard work.
Whether designing ecologically inspired environments or navigating the terrain of government policy, Bianca Heyming joins Emersus with one mission- inspiring collaboration through community empowerment. She received her Advanced Permaculture Teaching Training Certificate through Midwest Permaculture, and has a featured speaker at events including: Bioneers (Los Angeles), Permaculture Convergence (Malibu), TEDX (Riverside), Evolver (Los Angeles), and The Environmental Leadership Academy (Riverside). In addition she is a published author of “Guide to Starting a Community Garden.”
She currently resides on a 9-acre intentional community, The Emerald Village, which she cofounded in 2010. There she enjoys managing the food forest, aquaponics systems, honey bees, and four loving goats and too many chickens. Her number one passion in life is spending quality time with her community mates and her loving husband and son.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Intentional communities might be the only way many of us can afford to live in the future.
Very good point
Just look at the Amish. That is how they pretty much live. They are probably better off than the rest of us.
True
Looking into this for that very reason. Been in the back of my mind for years but the pandemic has really brought the reality that our society is doomed unless we do something. I can't afford to live anywhere anymore.
@@FreshHeat I hear you Marcos, I hear you. I'm in the same boat.
Anybody else cry at being loved through the ugliness

Teens need to be validated for who they are INCLUDING their emotions! Trying to "fix" them only implies there is something wrong with THEM which can perpetuate feelings of isolation even more!
Kel Collins love how you worded this!👍👍
Kel Collins p
So True.
Yes, THIS!
Hi Kel you are so right Friend Blessing.
The things she gets from her intentional community is what I cry about not getting from mine. Major things missing from the current societal setup and it hurts me so deeply.
Totally understand that
I hope you're able to find your group of people who can see you as you are and meet you where you are. It is a blessing every single one of us deserves.
@@Kyacchan88 thank you 😌 me too
Woah! Your realness is gutsy and inspiring. Honor to you.
Hi Selestine How are you friend? You know I loved in a Community 4 years a go and I loved every min. of it you may think it is gutsy but it is really not it is the most beautiful thinking I have ever felt in my life it is hard work like she said it is not the work you do it is living with the people on going 24 hours a day but once that is over you will never ever go back to how ever you live the support is just so awesome. You know it is not living with the people it is letting go and feeling and not being scared to let people know that you are a beautiful person that is what it is you will never know that true feeling on less you try it Thank you Selestine. Blessing to you.
Woah, I never imagined more than just 3 or 4 people in my life who would keep having a close relationship with me even after seeing me at my worst.
Sounds like communities can be great for growing in emotional intelligence (EQ)!
Thank you for this. I've lived for 44+ years in an intentional community... and some of the lessons are so universal it makes me laugh (or maybe tear up) in recognition. The community I'm part of does have more of a hippie past, and hopefully we kept the good bits of that as our journey continues.
I'm looking for a community as such. I am more than I can be in this modern day expectation of life. I need to go I'm ready to go. I can no longer hold on to the stress and anxiety from these expectations in this crazy city. I have experienced homelessness. All to turn back to the 9 to 5 because I can't find or afford living in the city. I am seeking something like a hippie community. I have knowledge on how to live off the land, I have holistic nutrition educational experience. Why do I know so much of the land and energy and I'm stuck Lossing my mind in this city fast life. I want to love the life I live not just live this life and call it loving. I have no kids no family. . . .I'm crying out for help I need that opportunity to show others what I truly have to give to this life I just need directions on how to get there. . . .lost in thought. . .
@@DayDreamers_Reality dm me
@@allazuwonw6860 I'm not sure how to do that on here. Do you have a social platform I can do so?
This woman is absolutely beautiful INSIDE and OUT!!!!
Hi Rusty how are you friend? Yes she shore is and she is so right about Community it is just so beautiful and it take a lot of hard work but is is worth it all the way I was in one and loved every min. of it and I am now looking to get in another one or to start one.thank you Blessing's.
@@paulafernandes5988 hello Paula. I'm in the US. I'm curious why you left the community or did it disband? I want to be a part of one myself someday 🙏🏽🙏🏽
It's quite poetic how they have named their village as a warning to themselves to never hold the illusion of community but to actually build a connected family unit.
Thank you for your transparency & vulnerability.
As Dasa of Oikos Intentional Community, Sunflower Village, we continue to grow together, despite politics, human frailty and perceptions. We are about the core of the human condition and the values that support unity, rather than division.

Anyone else crying right now
One love
LOL Hi yes how are you friend she made my heart cry with joy I know how she felt I was once in a Community and I loved every min. of it and she is right it take a lot of hard work but not the that is hard it is the living with the people and that to is not hard it is just getting used to living to the whole but it is so awesome to live this way and it is worth every min. of it. and I am trying to find one as we speak or I will try to get one going here in Canada ON, Blessing you friend.Paula
What warm and beautiful vibes she gives off 💛💜
NVC! I knew your community must be doing well if you were willing to spring for Non-Violent Communication training.
OMG, I cried as you were ending. True vulnerability... That is so beautiful.
I have some land and I planned on making housing for my friends to visit, but this just opened my eyes to a wholly diferent mindset. Thank you so much!
This is so beautiful! I really enjoyed watching this.
I plan on building my own community (intentional community as it seems to be called) and I‘m gathering all the information I can get.
...💎gOld💎... ...absolutely raw, precious unadulterated gOld... ...thank you Bianca, for being willing to expose your vulnerability to demonstrate the pOwer of really, truly, being seen, heard & loved... ...unconditionally... 💎gOld 💎
Indeed
Our church is absolutely an intentional community. Thank you for this beautiful description. Growing up our family had tight community. Now after the pandemic, it so easy for people to unplug even with our church community. But it is so essential to life!
Sounds like yours is a community. An “intentional community” is a group of people who have chosen to live together.
I l9ve the idea of mediation quarterly for growth
What a beautiful growth
Love this video so much - love you B! Thanks for your leadership and for your amazing offering of love @EVO
Im watching this high and wow. The massive truths she's saying
A beautifully wonderful and incredible gift from the Universe! Thank you so very, very much!
Thank you for this. It is simply wonderful!
This needs at least a billion more views.
Beautiful. Thank you i needed this tonight.
Thankyou so much for sharing your heart and your passion. This was truly enlightening, inspirational and beautiful.
Yes! The techniques we have to communicate and deepen our relations create the structure necessary for stability within the tribe. Great lecture!
Finally just saw this Bianca. Thank you so much!
Wonderful, powerful talk!
SO REAL. So lovely. We spend so much time and energy behind a mask- our 'personality'. Thank You for this reminder! Peace.
I wish there were more people like this..
I think most people feel this way... We need to become those people... 🌹💓 End the vicious cycle of being alone because we're feeling alone, and feeling alone because we're being alone....
@@afireinhearts1302 Indeed friend
wauw what a beautiful temoinage I have learned indeed that communication, clear agreeements and deblokking situations are very vital
Some say intentional living would be the only way to afford living. I would say intentional living is the only way to live a sane life.
Beautiful woman, beautifully said💗
Thank you for making this talk MEANINGFUL......a scarce commodity these days!
Living in an intentional community in Costa Rica called Ecovilla truly changed my life.
Wow! So beautiful
I want to live.
I’m starting an Intentional Community in Southern Oregon, loved finding this video.

Love the idea of this. We had real community in East London in the Sixties. Would love to be part of that again.
Wonderful sharing.
I love what you are saying. Healthy Interpersonal connectedness and communication are absolutely required. How can I learn about the structure and business model of your community? To others - please post links to other communities and how they are set up.
Please post supporting how to documents!! Also a particular style of communication I've become very fond of is UpLvl communication. I find it very helpful when it comes to communicating in a group
Ic been looking for something like this
damn that video cracked me up so much. Thank you for the insight into communal living.
I'm crying
The natural state for children is to be raised by and interact with adults. The mistake of the past 100 years is to allow children & teens to be grouped by peer age. We’ve lost all of our culture because of “peer culture”. Time to take back the next generation and step up as parents!!!
@
Gamerad360 Anarchy is self organizing.Example: If we are a group of people, confounded by a problem to be solved, and that problem involves (for example) building a bridge where engineering calculations are critical, it is logical that the members of the group with the appropriate skills & experience organize and lead the project, although without any sense of permanent hierarchy. In the meantime, while the bridge is built, folks will have to eat, drink, wash, etc. Each of those need shave skills attached as well, as individuals who excel at keeping track of seeds & production, animal husbandry, water, food preservation/distribution, etc.. Smaller, personalized communities help each person excel in something & contribute. Market capitalism excels at promoting sociopaths who do little of positive output, but make more than most of us will see in a lifetime, including professionals who could sew your severed limbs back together after a disaster. This defies morality & ethics. So much of the unrest in the world is due to insecurity (safety, food, water, health care, education, etc.) We need nurturing, not war.
Nice. I'm looking for this. I have 45 acres with electricity and water and would like to start one actually.
Where are you located
Oh? 👀
@@cyan7460 as in oh oh? Lol

An intentional community might be what I need
I am 53 and mobility disabled . How do I get information about a community?
What state do you live in?
@@TheJoescruffy in Northern Virginia but open to moving thank you
@@susanhicks3336 A search on google of "intentional communities" will give you many options of different places with websites with phone numbers you can contact and visit! I found one in Virginia called Twin Oaks Community. Good Luck :)
Thank you so much
Susan Hicks check out The Bruderhof
You've been to my home village. 97523?
so those communities where they pass the dutchie to the left.. .. .. where do i find one of those types of intentional communities?
maybe something like a rainbow gathering community, im looking for 50% MORE hippie than you'd think.
peace, love & pot
keep me aware, if you do find one hehe
When the person passed by her, I swear I thought it was going to cut to a flashback. lol
☀️✨💚☯️
Does intentional community mean Trible Life?
@@sz7646 art thou disrespecting intentional communities?
Intentional communities may be the only way we can protect ourselves from tyrannical culture and government.
It was good, but 50% more dramatic than expected
LOOL
Women can be funny.
@@curiouscaseofsharonchristi8256 Go on then and hit me.
Hahahaha
im down for the community but not the counseling part,thats where i draw a line
kind of cohousing alike
The real question is why do they call it Cardiff by the sea when the original Cardiff is already by the sea?
The group is only missing one thing.
What is that?
If the DemonScraps have their way we ALL will be living like this...
However, I do respect this lady and her ideology very much!!!!
You are a demonscrap
jeezus lady
your legacy and communication dousnt seem very fun
Well they won't have to worry about your company.
this lady seems wonderful and all, but this doesn't make me feel any better about intentional communities. also, how exactly is it 50% less hippie?
I like what they are trying to do but I don't think it will work. Because people will always a different value on different types of work.
And yet there are communities like this in Denmark that have been around for over 40 years.
The Bruderhof Communities are celebrating their 100th anniversary in 2020.
Dancing Rabbit Eco Village in Missouri and many others have been doing quite well for years.
Humans lived like for hundred of thousands of years before agriculture so wrong again Donald!
So back on plantations then.
Bring JESUS to the community problem solve
No angel. Holy are the eyes that have never seen the Bible, or participated in the global army of Santa
@@jacehendrix3194 love it
The army of Santa is pretty scary. 🎄
Did you know that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and if you Believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour
I dont believe in jesus
der denni may I ask why? ❤️ btw look up Isaiah 53 and psalm 22 they are prophecy’s about Jesus written long before the crucifixion and can be found in the Old Testament or on google 💕❤️😊 also look up the prophecy of tyre and what happened ( and really do if you don’t believe in God )
Eventually would breed laziness
kaden adventures if it worked, everyone would be doing it
@@mickyosully4592 ...The Bruderhof Communities are celebrating their 100th anniversary next year. They have communities around the world now.
Gary Edwards never heard of them
Been around plenty of these communities in Hawaii. They are all living in squalor. Only the people who obtain some kind of power stay long term, the rest get tired of the living conditions and politics and leave within their first year.
Please define laziness
Number 2 death is suicide, what else could it be? Cancer? What else kills kids? You have a good point but I stopped watching at this point. C'mon. Why go over the top to make your case.
definitely not over the top it's just a truth that most people dont want to hear or choose to ignore
