What we do

Myriad Village is a place of vision and of growth. This land is 320 acres, only 1 hour from Winnipeg, 20 minutes west of Gimli, and within walking distance to Dennis Lake.
This location is well suited to avoid any major floods. There is approximately 60 acres of forested land including oak bluffs and poplar stands; mixed in the landscape are vast hazel standings and chains of wetlands and willow. Boulders piled up by farmers of the past make playful piles of opportunity, while the neighbours cattle left large dumps to avoid stepping in. That is not to say our property is not a vastly beautiful place teaming with life. We spotted our neighbor the beaver, with an impressive den in the middle of the pond. Falcons screeching their ancient song, and the tracks of elk, coyotes and grouse. Dennis Lake is teaming with bird life, from red-winged blackbirds to cranes. Our human activities hope to harmoniously meld with the wildife.
We have taken minutes at each of our meetings dating back to March 2015 and after our first year of membership in 2016, we passed our foundational by-laws. Since then we have begun building foundations such as composting, biodynamic organic gardens, humanure outhouse, solar systems, an earthship home, material storage, swimming hole, & a waterhouse for laundry and to pump from the well.
As a marketing co-op, members have individual businesses, some of which are affiliated with the land. We are from all walks of life, including singles & families with kids. We are associated with Sustainable Building MB & the Community Economic Development Network.

Gaia Ashram Internship

The Pioneers of Gaia Ashram , 5th of July– 2nd of August 2015 The Gaia Ashram Internship is a one month program on Ecovillage Design, Permaculture and Deep Ecology. The internship will be a holistic participatory learning experience & process. Interns will experience being part of the Gaia Ashram Community and we will live together for one month at– Gaia Ashram-. At Gaia Ashram we belief in holistic learning that balances the head, hands & heart. Gaia Ashram encourages participatory learning & values the power of community in holding the learning space. We design the daily & weekly structure of the internship and of our lives here based on these values and principles. Theoretical learning (Head) The theoretical sessions will be participatory and interactive. It will cover the 4 keys of Ecovillage Design Education (Social, Economical, Ecological and Worldview inspired by Gaia Education). Each week will cover one of the Ecovillage Design Keys and integrated into this we will be introduced to Permaculture Design & Deep Ecology in terms of philosophy, movement and personal experiences. Overall, We will have a maximum of 2-3 hours of theory per day on the session days, to also create lots of space for practical experiential learning. See more details of the key content below. Practical learning (Hands – on) For the hands – on practical learning we will be developing the Gaia Ashram’s farm and restoring nature on the Gaia Ashram land using permaculture strategies & techniques that are appropriate for the Rainy Season & the land and its local context. The hands-on work will focus on Gardening work i.e. developing the vegetable gardens, planting seeds & seedlings, transplanting, propagation of plants, making composts, growing and maintaining a Food Forest, planting green manures, planting lots of trees, planting seasonal crops. Apart from the Gardening we will also will be doing some natural building which mostly will focus on creating natural finishes usi
