What we do

The Edenhope Nature Preserve is an ecovillage located in a registered Community Conservation Area on West Coast Santo, Vanuatu. The land comprises 786ha of intact, old-growth rainforest, offering a beautiful backdrop to our peaceful way of life.
In this time of global shift and transition, Edenhope Nature Preserve is a sanctuary for people to come and be part of the new world. The crisis of this planet is our catalyst for inner transformation: this ecovillage exists to present a transcendent reality to share in and be part of, outside the existing paradigm of society at large.
Our purpose is to harmonise the inner reality of the human spirit with the outer reality of pristine nature. Communion is our way of being in the world; the human presence is the pulse of a thriving ecosystem, evolving as a collective to understand our individual roles and carry out our responsibility to the earth.
The children who grow up here are the fulfillment of our vision of unity for humankind. Nurtured in a space of love and awareness, it is our children who may realize the purpose for which Edenhope was truly intended: that is, to realize – and restore — the spiritual connection we have to the universe.
Intentions

  • To realize the truth of our Divine nature, living and interacting as an awakened community powered by willing service.
  • To express and share the highest ideals of human life: compassion, truthfulness, and the preservation of pristine nature.
  • To share a purely philanthropic and charitable purpose, unmediated by the desire for individual gain.
  • To maintain equanimity and strength of purpose in the face of global challenges.
  • To protect the children of this world from harm: preserving their innocence, safeguarding all they need to thrive, educating consciously by example.
  • To practice regenerative sustainable methods for infrastructure and agriculture to maintain the basic needs of the community in abundance.
  • To create a culture of peace that radiates beauty throughout the world.

How to join

We warmly welcome you to reach out to us and open up a conversation about coming to visit us. At present (November 2021) the border to Vanuatu is closed to non-citizens, however we are always ready to connect with anyone who feels a resonance with our vision, purpose and intentions about the possibility of a visit once the borders open in 2022.
Here are the steps:
1) Read all the information we have shared on our website and check in with yourself about your own feeling of resonance. Is there a willingness to learn and share more? Are you interested in who we are and how we live? Are you burning with questions? Would you like to take part?
2) If you’re still feeling a ‘yes’ inside yourself, then we would sincerely like to learn more about you. Please take all the time you need to complete the Edenhope Questionnaire, available on the ‘Visiting’ page of our website.
3) We will then contact you and arrange a time for a video chat. You can ask us all your questions, and learn a bit more about who we are and our way of life.
4) Once an invitation is extended, we will provide all of the practical details about travelling here, obtaining visas etc., once the borders open for travel.
Please send any general questions to us via email: ed****************@***il.com

NISSII CHRISTIAN ACADEMY, INTEGRATED COMMUNITY PROJECT

Nissii Christian Academy is a child rights-focused organization that upholds well being of the children and conserves the environment to retain the dignity of the mother earth..we work closely with the community members, specifically women, youths, children and volunteers we further collaborate and work in liaison with the government agencies, local CBOs (Community based organizations)/NGOs and local faith-based organizations, as key stakeholders to enable meet both our short and long term objectives. Nissi Christian Academy is a nonprofit organization, found in Kisui Village along the shore of Lake Victoria where fishing activity is the key economic activities besides peasant farming and micro business activities. For along time children rights have been violated and many children are subjected to different form of child labour, early marriage, rape and defilement beatings and all frustrations. Many children are left orphans and vulnerable due to HIV/AIDS , insecurity (ethnicity division and classes) and other forms of illness attributed to poor and inadequate health facilities around. The situation is heart touching and goes beyond paper explanation. Come and feel !!!! Due to high poverty level around the environment has never been spared as it seen as key source of survival through cutting of fire wood and charcoal burning attributing to a high level of deforestation, lowering the dignity of the mother earth. Nissii Christian Academy has come in-front to safe guard the children and the environment. We therefore plan for a major campaign in December 2019 and we intend to the whole community , all Government agencies and civil societies organization, international well wishers and volunteers to join us in this campaign to help us work for the children and the mother earth and community participatory approach will be the key methodology . Participation will be free and this will also offer participants ideal opportunity to int

Social Vegan Permaculture Design Course

During this fully certified 14 day permaculture course (certified by the Permaculture Association Britain and Roots n Permaculture school) we will delve deep into permaculture including how to design food growing systems, design low impact houses and create economies, while also enriching and taking care of nature. This Permaculture Design Course (PDC) is devoted to creatively facing the social demands of our time and it offers practical impetus to dealing with interpersonal challenges both in the private and professional environment. Special emphasis will therefore be put into experiential learning by creating a temporary community for the duration of the course. We apply Dragon Dreaming and social permaculture tools to design the course and grow as a community, making sure everyone’s needs are met, so we can all enjoy living together in a supportive learning environment. This 90 hour experiential workshop runs in two sections in July and in September. Each week is spread over 8 days, with one day off in between. Part 1: 30th June to 7th July (4th July day off) Part 2: 16th to 23rd September (19th September day off) The cost of putting on the course means we need to raise on average €720 per person FOR ALL 14 DAYS (i.e. part 1 and 2, not just part 1). However we invite you to propose how much you would like to contribute (no amount is too small, so please tell us what you can afford). See below for more details on the costings. Teaching will be in English. === WHAT IS VEGAN PERMACULTURE & WHAT TO EXPECT === Permaculture is a design system for creating abundance in all aspects of our lives, which is underpinned by ethics. In this particular case we look at how to achieve this without keeping animals locked into our systems (animals and insects are encouraged to come and benefit from our system, but are equally free to leave). Hence we describe it as Vegan permaculture. Permaculture is a rigorous and systematic set of tools, ecologica
