Join our very first Ecovillage Design Course at Rancho Mastatal! Ecovillages are intentional settlements that include indigenous villages, urban neighborhoods and new intentional communities. They are living laboratories for the development of regenerative tools to address the challenges that we face in our time.
In this course we will consider personal and systemic solutions in a creative, nourishing and sustainable way and that help us address the complex situations we are facing in our society .
We will use a holistic approach and learn how to co-create a regenerative culture within a wide-range of topics: social and ecological regeneration, economy and energy systems, governance and decision-making, nature, our inner nature, and more.
We will equip ourselves with the skills needed to create a diverse and regenerative culture that connects humans with nature, all life and ourselves. A culture in which we see each other as part of the bountiful and generous natural ecosystem that is the livelihood of every living being. A culture which gives us a greater feeling of belonging to the Earth and the Earth belonging to us.
