Intentional community Characteristics[edit] Purpose[edit] The purposes of intentional communities vary in different communities. They may include sharing resources, creating family-oriented neighborhoods and living ecologically sustainable lifestyles (ecovillages).

The school, though not officially affiliated with a particular faith, embraces the values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It was founded in 1867 as a school for girls, and is now a private four-year coeducational institution. While the majority of students are members of the LDS Church, students of all faiths are welcome on campus and are encouraged to be active in their own faith.[5] The university is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and is nationally accredited by the American Academy for Liberal Education.[6][7][8] The campus consists of more than 155 acres (0.63 km2).

How to See the Aura So… picture this. Imagine if you walked around your normal day, like you always do… going to the grocery store, going to work, walking down the street… and every single person you saw had this big, glowing light around them. Maybe you could see colors, or soft, beautiful ethereal wisps of soft hair-like energy, or strange watery funnels like something out of Donny Darko… but this illuminating, halo glow, was there, right in front of your eyes. What if you could see this incredible energy, these auras, around everyone?
