Many great movements in history have sprung from little places, cities or even sections of cities, like the Left Bank in Paris. Small concentrations of creative people have produced fresh insights that eventually benefited the entire human race. Even today, there exists in America places that are fomenting the seeds of the next great sea-change of our time: intentional communities. One of these movements is called Ananda. Cities of Light is the story of Ananda, and how it can serve as a blueprint for others wishing to build or improve their own communities, wherever they may be.J. Donald Walters' books and music have sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 24 languages. He is the founder of Ananda, one of the world's largest networks of intentional communities, with six branches on two continents. He is also widely considered one of the foremost experts on spiritual practice in the world.
