Community Culture

We seek to co-create a thriving and loving world. Our Ecovillage culture is based on sustainability in the widest sense: spiritual, social, ecological and economic. We aim to maintain a caring community based on inclusion, affordable housing, health and wholeness. We participate in social movements towards shared living, co-housing and social action. And these are the stories from our culture.
