Giving you the opportunity to connect inspirational learning with a holiday, we have chosen the Croatian island Brač and the project Gea Viva for a special Dragon Dreaming experience. Located in a Mediterranean garden close the fishing village Milna, Gea Viva is a retreat camp and eco base, that invites you delve deeply into nature. The venue is surrounded by special places, such as the dragon’s cave, which will inspire our process. Here you can unwind, find inspiration, meet like-minded people and experience Permaculture, eco living, art and the creative forces of the Earth. On the 5 -day Training you`ll get to know the method and practice it. And you will also learn how to tame the dragons all in the beautiful settings of the Adriatic seaside.

If you live or want to live according to the values of cooperation, sustainability, and equality this conference is for you. You’ll get something out of this event whether you’re brand new to communities and cooperatives, or have been living and working in them for decades. The conference focuses on Intentional Communities, including models such as Ecovillages, Cohousing, and Housing Cooperatives, and the larger cooperative movement, including all kinds of cooperative and collective organizations. The Twin Oaks conference site has open air facilities and the basic registration option includes camping. Indoor accommodations are also available. Meals and snacks are provided (including food contributions from participants) from Friday dinner through Monday dinner. Activities at the conference include formal workshops and presentations, open space workshops provided by participants, community introductions and networking, tours of three different intentional communities, a rockin’ dance party, and plenty of time to hang out and have fun.

This event shall take a form of lecture where students in my College are made to understand that if they do not do anything about the climate now, there will be no future for them. If we act as a community watching each other, the world will be a better place for us and our children. There will also be walks to areas that have been affected by climate change.
