Ionia is a remote, and sometimes misunderstood intentional community located outside Kasilof, Alaska. The community was originally formed nearly 30 years ago by four families, each seeking a simpler, quieter life.
The group, now numbering around 30 full-time residents, continues to pursue their goals in the relative solitude of their 160 acre communal property.
INDIE ALASKA is an original video series produced by Alaska Public Media in partnership with PBS Digital Studios. The videos capture the diverse and colorful lifestyles of everyday Alaskans at work and at play. Together, these stories present a fresh and authentic look at living in Alaska.

Its truely amazing....everything centered around food which is how traditional family communication always took place many years ago.....alaska looks amazing & perfect place. Still not managed to get here but now emailing and remaining hopeful..life has changed, mother with alzeimers whom ive been taking care of at a distance, she snow in a home. so Ionias stance re mental issues which are affecting many of us through personal stuff & relatives/parents with dementia.....the way of the world unfortuantly and defiantly not getting better in Uk at present. Im fortuante bill & Marlene Tara, great macobiotic health teachers have moved nearby me recently..thye ve both been to Ionia.

: ) I heard Bill Johnson, plus several from the second generation, talking clearly about this unusual and unique intentional community. Lovely to hear the clarity of those who live in Ionia. I lived with these people 1983-1989 and was part of one of the four families that founded Ionia. IMHO the world is a better place with Ionia in it. I feel Ionia is a place where few may actually wish to live, but which embodies answers to many of the world's problems. Thank you for creating and posting this video!

Such an interesting idea.

@peterhull9126 3 года назад

Just like the 12tribes

@satka2mau487 9 лет назад

so true that reason we are getting people `cracking up` is social...how we live isnt healthy esp in cities now....stress, fast food, fast eating, no/not enough time....disease of modern society is killing us. We need to build communities to support one another..its the only way we can survive. I visited australias crystal waters community, stayed a night/day...apparently permission would never be got for another such community now....theres 200 people living there incld from Uk. Intreasting enough an eco solar powered festival "sunrise" in monmouthshire got cancelled becoz local council trumped up a noise ban of 35 whatevers which is sound of gnat sneezing....powers that be dont want to support ethically generated ventures it seems...so sad when months ahead everything was sorted..Was conservative council that got elected recently too that did this here....cameron also supports fracking!!!

Know anything about ionia michigan?

@clayguinard3651 4 года назад

How does one meaning myself become a part of this community

@debrapearson4571 4 года назад

Would this be considered a cult.

@bingbongalong Год назад

I don't think so, because cults keep their members stuck via coercion and manipulation and Ionia doesn't seem to do that. A group of people deciding to work and live together isn't automatically a cult

@aaronjennings8385 9 месяцев назад

They are an extended family. Grandparents, parents, children.

@nancyk4421 8 лет назад

I went on a tour of this place and it's not what you see, it's what you don't. They are not self sufficient and all farm equipment is grossly under utilized and sits idle, over grown I weeds and dirt. The food they try to grow, is fertilized with their own feces. The gardens and high tower hot houses are full of weeds and generally devoid of anything resembling edible food. Their explanation of how they grow their own food and why it is so much better than commercial produce is laughable. This place is not accountable for all the monies they receive, from foundations State and Federal governments. One look at this place and it leaves you wondering, what exactly is their mission and why have they been given so much and done so little with their resources.......just go take a look, their video is joke and the message they give is regrettable.

@coreyfedorowich3292 2 года назад

Nancy I'm investigating this place. If you would be willing to talk to me about it, please let me know and I can provide a social media account or email to message on.

@leonapelletier9659 Год назад

Monies goes to one word ARMS lmfao guaranteed they got some heavy shit and bunkers its exactly what I would do.

@aaronjennings8385 9 месяцев назад

@@leonapelletier9659 nope.

@aaronjennings8385 9 месяцев назад

They showed me around. They have beautiful hand built homes, a massive workshop, and a lumber milling facility. They have made good use of their inheritance.

@loganselkirk3074 10 лет назад

So they basically made an Alaskan kibbutz. Woo!

@wendyleeds-hurwitz8447 10 лет назад

This group doesn't like the term "commune," but they do seem to be a an intentional community - as you say, much like the kibbutzim in Israel.

@loganselkirk3074 10 лет назад

Since when did I post this to google+? hmmm

@wendyleeds-hurwitz8447 10 лет назад

interesting - didn't know you could cross-check inadvertently here! also didn't know that it would tell me when someone in my circles posts - guess that means people I know aren't doing much posting here

You are the Ionians ? lol ahahah If the Ionians had won, we might be now, I think, be going to the stars. We might at this moment have the first survey ships returning with astonishing results from Alpha Centauri and Barnard Star, Sirius and Tau Ceti There would now be great fleets of interstellar transports And Great trading ships to ply the spaces between the stars ...
