Talking intentional communities and natural building with Dr Samuel Alexander. Sam is the founder of The Simplicity Institute which is an educational and research group which envisions a simple way of life. His most recent books are Simple Living in History: Pioneers of the Deep Future and Entropia: Life Beyond Industrial Civilisation. The latter book led one reader to offer him some land. The land and project there (in Moe, Gippsland) is called Wurruk'an, and it's an on the ground experiment where the theories of voluntary simplicity are put to the test.
