What we do

Honeyville Nature Reserve is situated in the Eastern Cape bordering the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve.It is an hour from Port Elizabeth inland from Jeffreys Bay and Cape St Francis and St Francis Bay. It is composed of 800 hectares of land of which only 45 hectares are reserved for sustainable development. The remaining land is protected wild land and rich in biodiversity. Of the 30 hectares of old arable land we are currently farming organic produce on 10 acres.. We support a Permaculture ethos and this we are beginning to implement, commencing with the layout and planning of produce and eco homes. We are attracting investors for 20 footprints within the reserve with which 50% of the sale profits will be invested directly back into infraxtructure. This will be for the availability of water at the sites and for the planting of the permaculture gardens.
Our vision is a sustainable lifestyle for those residing there or as an Artists retreat. There are proposed private eco-sites within the pristine vegetation and also sites within a village setting surrounded by the permaculture gardens. We propose to create a yoga and spa facility as well as hold workshops for natural building, medicinal plant learning, indigenous knowledge , yoga etc..
The 20 footprints available for SALE secure an independent Title Deed. Gps co-ordinates and a landmap are available on our site at www.ecohoneyville.wordpress.com
We are seeking like minded people with a consciousness to preserve, honour and grow this vision. All new structures to be 100% green and the entire village is to be self sustainable.
Please contact us for more information at li**@************co.za or tu****@*****co.za
Thank you

Zambia - Ecovillage Development Training

The Ecovillage Development Programme inspires communities not only to adapt to Climate Change but also to improve their quality of life and lift them towards resilience. GEN inspires local authorities and governments to include ecovillage development programmes in their strategies for the implementation of SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. We have learned that, while there is no one way of being an ecovillage, there are 3 core practises shared by all: Being rooted in local participatory processes Integrating social, cultural, economic and ecological dimensions in whole systems approach to sustainability Actively restoring and regenerating their social and natural environments Together, we will Explore the ecovillage concept and the work and contributions of different types of ecovillages across the world Understand ecovillage development as a tool for climate change adaptation and reaching the UN Sustainable Development Goals Become familiar with a framework for holistic sustainability grounded in decades of hands-on experience and design of resilient communities worldwide Practice participatory whole-systems design, using the Ecovillage Playing Cards Explore assets, needs and potential next steps of a group, project or community in each dimension of sustainability Select specific learning areas (demand driven training) e.g. community building skills, seed multiplication, social entrepreneurship, water catchment systems, etc. to dive into You can choose to join us only for the first week or for the whole training.

Asamblea, 2000

A la asamblea constituyente de Madrid acudieron los siguientes colectivos: Amayuelas (Palencia), La Carrucha Cultural (Huesca), La Osa (Asturias), Permacultura Montsant (Tarragona), Valdepiélagos (Madrid), Matavenero (León), La Garrotxa (Girona), Vettonia (Salamanca), Jardines de Acuario (Murcia), GEA, Bajo el Asfalto está la Huerta (Madrid), Cosas de la Luna (Madrid), Mas Noguera (Castellón). No estuvieron en la reunión, pero manifestaron su deseo de pertenecer a la Red: Los Arenalejos (Málaga), Más Lluerna (Lérida), El Pardal (Jaén), Habioclima (Lérida), Valberzoso (Palencia), As.Macrobiótica PAM (Huesca), Equi-libre (Tarragona). En la reunión se decidió hacer una página web, que se instalaría en el servidor del GEN Europa. Los contenidos de la página incluirán información de los proyectos existentes y otras informaciones útiles para la Red y para las personas de fuera. Todavía pendiente de hacer. La Red tomará el nombre de Red Ibérica de Ecoaldeas, RIE. Se han hecho contactos con personas de Portugal que están dentro del movimiento de ecoaldeas y no han puesto ningún reparo al nombre, aunque consideran prematuro unirse a la RIE. De momento prefieren formar la Red portuguesa de ecoaldeas. Se decidió también formar parte de la Red Global de Ecoaldeas, GEN Europa, con la que ya teníamos contactos. La Carrucha (ahora Selba) lleva la coordinación entre la RIE y el GEN Europa. Ulysses informó de que el directorio de ecoaldeas estaba prácticamente terminado. Sólo faltan algunas fotos y algunos datos. Se recordó a todos los miembros de la RIE que contamos con dos revistas impresas, La Osa y GEA (a partir del otoño de 2001, GEA desaparece y tendremos en su lugar una revista de mayor tirada para la difusión de la RIE: ReHabitar). Por último se decidió que el siguiente encuentro sería en la ecoaldea Los Arenalejos (Málaga), del 23 al 26 de agosto de 2001.
