Global Ecovillage NetworkCatalyzing Communities for a Regenerative World

The Global Ecovillage Network envisions a world of empowered citizens and communities, designing and implementing pathways to a regenerative future, while building bridges of hope and international solidarity.

GEN aims to create such a world by spreading the physical and cultural technology of ecovillages. We invite you to get involved with this work!
