Brause has been involved in the communities movement since the mid-1970s, when she lived and worked in a communal retreat center and attended the quarterly gatherings of the New England Network of Light. She wrote a vision of a future intentional community as part of her M.A. program with Beacon College. She later cofounded an intentional community in Oregon and lived and worked there for almost 20 years.
