Vision
The Big Picture
We envision a vibrant ecovillage based on permaculture principles, operating as a catalyst for cultural transformation. Through courage, hope, connection, and diversity, we are building resilient systems, relationships, and lifestyles that provide vitality and joy through good times and hard.
