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.

Thank you
John and Karo

Economics For Transition

https://www.schumachercollege.org.uk/courses/postgraduate-courses/economics-for-transition There is an urgent need for a radical rethink of our economic system. We need new thinking and new models that recognise the challenges we face now, rather than blindly following the path that has led us into the converging crises we now face. These models will enable us to both mitigate the impacts and adapt to these inter-locking crises – including climate change, biodiversity loss, the peaking in fossil fuel energy supplies, financial instability, food security, poverty and so on. They will be built on an understanding of the complementarity of ecological protection and human flourishing. For 20 years, pioneering thinkers and practitioners have been developing alternative economic ideas, models and experiments that were once considered radical and marginal. As we turn to face a new economic dawn, these theories and practices are now moving centre stage. Why Schumacher College? Since 1991, Schumacher College has been pioneering radical new thinking in economics, attracting leading teachers, practitioners and activists from across the globe. We have inspired and supported thousands of organisations and individuals from many different countries in their quest to achieve a more sustainable and equitable world. In 2011, in response to the deepening economic and related crises, we launched our first postgraduate programme in Economics for Transition in association with the New Economics Foundation, the Transition Network and the Business School at Plymouth University. Now in its fourth year, this partnership offers you an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the cream of radical economic thinking, activism and entrepreneurship globally. Hosted by highly respected radical economists, completed by an unrivalled visiting faculty of teachers and practitioners from across the world, you have a unique chance to join those at the forefront of new economi

Taller Introductorio Dragon Dreaming

En este Taller nos introduciremos en la filosofía y técnica de Dragon Dreaming, de forma teórica, experiencial y también de forma práctica, aprendiendo sus fases y pasos. Para ello queremos ofreceros un taller activo, con diversas actividades y dinámicas. Dragon Dreaming DD ha sido co-creado por John Croft y su difunta esposa Vivienne Elanta (los cuales han colaborado con Joanna Macy). Esta técnica se basa en 3 principios: Servicio a la Tierra, Creación de Comunidad y Crecimiento Personal. Dragon Dreaming DD está inspirado en el activismo social y ambiental, la ecología profunda, la nueva ciencia moderna, la teoría de sistemas vivos, la teoría del caos, la no violencia y la sabiduría de los aborígenes australianos. Dragon Dreaming nos facilita el conectar con nuestra llamada, concretizar nuestros sueños y materializar los de forma física, haciendo de estos sueños una realidad. ¿En qué consiste un taller introductorio? Se explica la herramienta, basada en una rueda, con cuatro partes o dimensiones: El sueño, la planificación, la acción y la celebración. Se introducen herramientas transversales de facilitación de grupos, comunicación carismática y no violenta, acuerdos grupales, inteligencia colectiva… Se introducen herramientas dinámicas, participativas y vivenciales para poder: 1. Plasmar los sueños que tienes, tendiendo un puente entre ello y la acción 2. Compartirlos con la gente con la que quieres hacerlos, de una forma auténtica y desinteresada. 3. Crear un sueño colectivo a partir de un sueño personal, que integre la visión de grupo 4. Fijar una meta clara, objetivos y tareas, de forma participativa 5. Diseñar una estrategia, mediante el Kadabirrdt, de forma participativa 6. Crear un presupuesto, conectando con nuestra inteligencia colectiva. 7. Crear una red de apoyo para ayudar en la creación, seguimiento y consecución 8. Crear una metodología de evaluación y celebración de las tareas y metas propuestas, que tenga un todo divertido
