Ecovillage Weekend
Want to see what life is like at a rural ecovillage but don’t have time to dedicate a week or more to the visit? We’ve designed the Ecovillage Weekend for those who can’t leave their lives behind for more than a few days but are curious to gain first-hand experience in what it’s like to live in an ecologically focused intentional community. Your short visit will be full of educational experiences, hands-on activities, DIY fun!

Using our twenty-year-old ecovillage as a living laboratory, our Permaculture Design Course interweaves the wisdom and knowledge of the permaculture movement with the firsthand learning experiences of an intentional community. This project-based-learning course can help you dive into the interconnected world of permaculture. Come learn ecological design principles that encompass the whole system working with nature to provide a regenerative form of growing food and living life.
