Travel from Burlington into Vermont’s small towns, farmland and forested countryside while experiencing a wide range of approaches to intentional living—from urban and village-based cohousing to rural ecovillages, regenerative farms, spiritually rooted communities and lifesharing. Meet residents, tour homes and shared spaces, participate in community activities and learn firsthand about sustainable building, permaculture, cooperative decision-making, local food systems and the realities of creating a life in community. Along the way, enjoy some of what makes Vermont special: organic farms, farm-to-table food, artisan cheese, maple syrup, mountain hikes, swimming, waterfalls and beautiful summer landscapes. The small traveling group also becomes a community of its own, offering plenty of opportunities for meaningful conversations and connections throughout the journey.
