What we do

Liminal Village is a co-living and co-creation hub in the center of Italy. We have been experimenting forming temporary communities aimed at creating value for the world, heal themselves and heal the collective, by emphasising the balance of personal, local and global needs. Inspired by the concept of a Resource-Based Economy, Liminal, meaning “a place of transition” or “a place that occupies both sides”, is an embodied experimental ground where value-aligned people can co-create and experience the future they would like to see. Using natural cycles to guide progress, we focus on reinventing how we can live in harmony with each other and the planet, by “upgrading the operating system of society” and transitioning from scarcity based market economies to “access abundance”
It is a place without spectators, as all the guests participate in the creation of the program, giving talks and workshops about their knowledge or passions.
During their stay, visitors of the Liminal Village are invited to balance their attention on three aspects:
Personal: Work on/do something for yourself. During your stay, you can find and set your personal goals and life project, or advance your own. Find your Ikigai, fight your fear, learn something new, write your book or your very own TED talk!
Local: Do something for the people around you and for your surrounding: Teach something you know, build something, create art, regenerate the place around you, etc..
Global: Do something for the planet and the people living on it: Find a cause that you deem important in the world, find out more about it, then find ways to help and improve!

We host temporary communities for weeks/month-long events (hack-alongs) in four stages: discovery (starting at new moon), co-creation (up to full moon), then integration (last quarter) and harmonisation (up to new moon). More info on hack-alongs is available on the website.
We also have residency programmes for selected participants.
Get in touch with us if you would like to apply for a short stay / participate to an hack-along.

Ecovillage Youth Exchange Project Launched

Ecovillage Youth Exchange Connecting youth and communities across continents This year five young people from Senegal and five young people from Germany will have the chance to share their knowledge about ecology and social justice while diving into each other’s cultures thanks to a collaborative project between GEN Africa and GEN Europe. The project envisions an exchange for young adults involved in the ecovillage movements in Africa and Europe, where we explore steps towards healing and reconciliation between and within the two continents. We will focus on youth empowerment through skill-building and exchange of knowledge around ecological living, education, and project development, working towards a regenerative and community-oriented future. In July-August 2022, a group of Senegalese youth will be welcomed into an ecovillage in Germany, then in November-December, the German participants will travel to either Guédé Chantier or Bambey Serere ecovillage in Senegal. During the exchange, the participants will explore the core question of how young adults in the ecovillage movement can empower and support each other in their activism for change while exploring steps towards healing and reconciliation between the African and European continents. The group will be accompanied by group leaders, and the process will be supported by trainers, facilitators, and a team of support volunteers. The outcome of the exchange will be guided by the participants’ skills, interests, and experiences – but it could result in new exchange projects, an exhibition, a film, or a theatre piece. If you, or a young person you know, is committed to the project’s core themes of ecology and community, racial and social justice, and youth empowerment, apply for this experience today! Applicants should be between the ages of 18 and 30 and resident of either Germany or Senegal. App
