This post endeavours to facilitate our collective workspace to gather all the facts, stories, images, music etc over time, so that we can do justice to the history of each of our beloved sanctuaries.

GET IN TOUCH! – many hands, hearts and minds make light work! We look forward to hearing from you!

This is what we have so far:

We hold the vision that eventually we’ll have a Topic for each of the sanctuaries. To achieve this we’d love to get lots of personal stories of members and guests to breathe life into the history of our sanctuaries. Please get in touch with your own stories and photographs so that we can create a rich tapestry of appreciation and sharing.

The new sanctuary is being born as we write this. Park Ecovillage Trust is holding this process of emergence and has lots of fascinating reports, images on the website, eventually all that will coalesce into history but for now it is very much news hot off the press.
