-A '''commune''' is an [[intentional community]] of people living together, sharing common interests, [[property]], possessions, [[resources]], and, in some communes, [[employment|work]] and [[income]]. In addition to the communal [[economy]], [[consensus decision-making]], non-hierarchical structures and [[ecological]] living have become important core principles for many communes. Andrew Jacobs of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote that, contrary to popular misconceptions, "most communes of the '90s are not free-love refuges for flower children, but well-ordered, financially solvent cooperatives where pragmatics, not [[psychedelic]]s, rule the day." 
 +'''Consensus decision-making''' is a [[group decision making]] process that seeks the consent of all participants. Consensus may be defined professionally as an acceptable resolution, one that can be supported, even if not the "favourite" of each individual. [[wiktionary:consensus|Consensus]] is defined by Merriam-Webster as, first, general agreement, and second, group [[social solidarity|solidarity]] of [[belief]] or sentiment. It has its origin in the [[Latin]] word ''cōnsēnsus'' (agreement), which is from ''cōnsentiō'' meaning literally ''feel together''.
