“Ecovillage Pursuit: 20 Years of Collective Wisdom”
Since 2005, we’ve pursued self-sufficient communities through trial and reflection. Early groups in Adatepebaşı, Assos, and Kazdağı (2007’de İmece Evi) laid foundations. Lessons from Dumanlıdağ (2011-2020) and Ürkmez (2020-2023) taught us about land rights and resilience. Now in Fethiye, we merge two decades of experience into a cooperative ecovillage model.
Core Principles:
✓ Ecology: Regenerative living
✓ Democracy: Participatory decisions
✓ Solidarity: Shared labor, mutual aid
Why This Matters:
• A response to urban isolation and ecological crisis
• Practical alternatives to unsustainable systems
• Proof that collective care creates resilience
With 20 years of accumulated knowledge, we focus not just on survival, but on thriving together. Every setback refined our vision; every ally strengthened our resolve. The journey continues.
