“The final attunement was a great moment of celebration, and on this occasion we encouraged the Community to come and join us. Over a hundred people joined the builders and our team as we stood in a circle around our first eco-house, first in silent contemplation and then to raise a loud cheer for the builders.

It was just one house, but it was pioneering. We had not just built our first eco-house, but we had created the first breathing wall eco-house of its kind in the UK, battling the authorities to get permission to build it. We had started building the Ecovillage.”
