Somerset, UK - Tobias Jones and his wife sold their house in Bristol and bought a 10-acre woodland in Somerset County in the southwest of part England with the plan of creating a communal shelter for people facing a period of personal crisis.
"I want charity, in the old cliche, to begin at home, to be an integral part of our lives – not just something we do with loose change once in a while," says Jones. "The sermon on the mount might actually be a manifesto for life, rather than a few nice ideals to take out for a spin on a Sunday morning."
They have spent 5 years visiting or living on similar communities and Jones has written a book titled "Utopian dreams : in search of the good life" on communal living, so the family feels prepared for the new venture.
