OCT 17 6:30pm talk Stephen Brooks and Kara Alter Venice CA
Join us for an evening discussion about ecovillage design, intentional community living and regenerative solutions for a healthier, happier planet. Let's co-create this dream together!
https://www.facebook.com/events/2287349968168517/

We will meet in the community garden outside of Beyond Baroque in Venice at 6:30pm, and begin the discussion at 7pm, led by permaculture expert Stephen Brooks and community builder Kara Alter.

We'll also be introducing and answering questions about our new 170-acre ecovillage project called Alegría Village, which will include ~100 homes, an elder village, a community farm, a yoga & event space, an "ecoversity" and sacred spaces tucked throughout the trees. Our intention is to return to our roots, and live a simple, grounded, regenerative, and deeply connected lifestyle surrounded by soul family.
See you in the garden! :)
