When families disagree on how to live buen vivir principles in modern life

My family wants to embrace buen vivir's emphasis on relationship with land and community but we live in a suburb and everyone has different ideas about what that looks like. My teens think we should move to an intentional community, my partner wants to start with changing our consumption patterns, and I keep thinking about our disconnection from our own indigenous roots, but we never actually coordinate our efforts.
