Sept 8-12 Growing a Successful Ecovillage or Intentional
Community with Diana Leafe Christian (editor, Communities Magazine;
author, Creating a Life Together: Practical Tools to Grow Ecovillages
and Intentional Communities) and Valerie Naiman (co-founder
Earthaven Ecovillage). EARTHAVEN members have been building our
Ecovillage for ten years now, and we're here to show you how far
we've gotten, to talk about how far we have to go, and to encourage
you to start creating Ecovillages wherever you live. In some ways,
we're more an idea than a place, a path of discovery, a possibility for
the future ripe with blessings. You only have to put it "on the ground."
Diana and Valerie offer you the opportunity to learn, share, reflect
and be inspired to make community happen for yourselves! Details
