What we do

MeiRong ecovillage is a loving community, where we take care of local resources and respect the limitations of the nature. We promote a sustainable value within the community, with self-cultivated food, exchange market, get together festivals, and more. Instead of stress and materialism, our village provides for a nurturing relationship, self-realisation & awareness.
MeiRong Village used to be a barren continent, which was formed by flooding and sedimentation in the past dynasties. It is surrounded by water and overgrown with thorns and grasses. There were tigers and wolves in the early years. The village was repeatedly invaded by river water due to its proximity to the Fuchun River, and crops were not harvested. Therefore, the predecessors planted fruit forests, especially plum trees, and Sui Ya called Meizhou. After the fifteenth year of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1750), plum trees were planted on the flat ground. There are many kinds of bayberry on the mountain. The plum blossom bayberry is famous, and green plum has become the most important economic crop. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, large areas of plum trees were destroyed, and villagers planted peaches, plums, chestnuts, oranges, and pears. During the period of agricultural cooperation in the 1950s, a fruit professional team was established to cultivate and manage 213 acres of fruit trees in the mountain forest. In 1980, about 30 acres of mulberry seedlings were added to the sericulture group. From 1967 to 1976, 230 acres of citrus groves were built in the village, which was contracted to 7 professional groups. The fruit output in 1992 was 297 thousand kilograms.
The village includes more than 2,000 acres of arable land, more than 6,000 acres of mountain forests, and more than 80 ancient buildings. Among them, the Luo Family House, Guohouwang Temple, Gong Family Ancestral Hall, and Shukeng Ancestral Hall are county-level cultural relics protection units.

Tools to Change the World

Why learn Permaculture? Permaculture helps us to live a balanced and sustainable life. Whether in a rural, suburban, or urban area, the principles, ethics, and design methods to which a practitioner of Permaculture adheres – or rather, since none of us are perfect, aspires to adhere – are the very principles, ethics, and methods that will greatly increase the possibility for a sustainable, regenerative human presence in harmony with all life on this planet. This PDC, facilitated at a forming ecovillage in the tropics, is, at its core, about relearning a mindset that humankind has lost over time, a mindset of abundance and cooperation not just with other human beings but with all life on earth. The primary steward of your learning experience is Rebecca Reiber, founder of 8th Life Panama EcoVillage project. Rebecca has over 30 years of practical experience in building teams, facilitating change, and creating and implementing Permaculture designs in a variety of settings. She is joined by experienced co-facilitators during each PDC — see the Faciltitors tab. Learn by doing! To increase learning opportunities and keep “classroom time” to a minimum while on site, there are 4 preparatory online classes held in the weeks prior to the onsite course. This maximizes practical hands-on experience and allows for meaningful discussion and action-learning. The course includes 13 full days of onsite learning including over 90 hours of practice, instruction, discussion, and skill sharing. This course will challenge you to learn by doing and, when you’re ready, to enhance your learning by coaching others on what you’ve just learned. We all bring many skills to the table and we each have special gifts and talents and we will also challenge you to apply and adapt these throughout the course. Activities will center around the ever-changing panorama of a forming ecovillage i

David Holmgren Workshop 2014

Creative Collectives and New Earth Systems for life are very proud to present this special event: This will be a chance to get up-close and personal and gain an in-depth insight into the the issues David Holmgren is most passionate about. During his presentations he will uncover new perspectives to keep permaculture activists ahead of the game. “The interactions between Climate Chaos, Oil Shocks and Economic Contraction is confused in the minds of the public and policy makers alike. The rapidly changing context in which sustainability activists and entrepreneurs work is reshaping the context for planning and action.” This workshop is intended to help those at the front line of sustainability use the over-the-horizon thinking of leading Australian sustainability teacher, David Holmgren. Building on thirty years of permaculture teaching, Transition activism and personal example David synthesises how to survive, thrive and contribute to a better world, wracked by unfolding climate chaos, peak energy, economic contraction and geopolitical stress. The Brown Tech Energy Descent scenario is the reference point and context for the workshop, but David also draws on more recent published and unpublished work, including an Energy Descent Action Planning consultancy for Hepburn Shire Council (Vic) as well as his influential Retrofitting the Suburbs presentations that have evolved over time to the current version Surfing The Suburbs. Topics Covered: 1.Energy Descent Scenarios, Planning and Outcomes. Personal Peak Probability Profile, Mainstream Sustainability & Permaculture/Transition compared, Nested Scenarios, EDAP framework & Melliodora case study. 2. Brown Tech Signposts and sub scenarios. a. property bubble collapse; b. climate chaos disasters and c. geopolitical/energy shock. 3. Interactive group activity A personal consideration of sub-scenarios and permaculture strategies. NETWORKING DINNER: The workshop will be followed by a networkin
