Why Thousands Are Leaving the System for Intentional Communities

*What if the solution isn’t to fight the system, but to leave it entirely?*

In this powerful episode, Dan Astin-Gregory sits down with Cynthia Tina, founder of Ecovillage Tours and Community Finders, to explore the rise of intentional communities—value-driven, alternative living environments designed for connection, self-reliance, and freedom.

Cynthia has personally visited over 200 communities worldwide and has years of personal experience living in intentional communities, and shares why more people than ever are rejecting modern isolation, surveillance, and top-down control and choosing to build a better way of life.

If you have ever been curious about community living, whether you're craving off-grid simplicity, meaningful connection, or sovereignty from failing systems—this conversation is for you.
