The Hollies is not a community though.

I would love to know more about finding a commune in Ireland. I am really interested in the idea of living in a community of like minded people.

Does anyone know of any communes or communities in Ireland, preferably ones without specific religious ties, where a guy can drift in, play some guitar, do a bit of healing, maybe offer some arts workshops and generally get involved - and most importantly, learn something?

I am prepared to travel anywhere on this island and I have my own tent

I hope someone can help.

Thank you.

Just wondering how you plan to fund this lifestyle? Savings / Dole ?

In ireland there is a few too though
Like Cloughjordan http://thevillage.ie/ Carraig Dulra http://www.dulra.org/ and various others eg http://permaculture.ie/projects
Significantly, we have a much longer established and larger scale project than elsewhere in Kinsale http://www.transitiontownkinsale.org/ , the first of its kind in the world. Totnes, Devon, has now also adopted this policy, but Ireland was a world first/leader in the area.
