British Columbia Ecovillage Tour: August 7-14, 2027

May 1–8, 2027 | Southern Spain Experience regeneration and intentional living in the heart of Andalusia Spend eight days exploring a diverse network of intentional communities across Southern Spain, where ecological regeneration, creativity and collaborative living come together against a backdrop of olive groves, Mediterranean coastline and dramatic desert landscapes. Visit pioneering communities such as Los Portales, Oasis Al Hamam, El Molino de Guadalmesí, Resonancia Community and Maitreya. Meet residents and community leaders and discover how each is approaching intentional living in its own way—from biodynamic agriculture and permaculture to natural building, renewable energy, cooperative governance, water stewardship and off-grid living. Along the way, take part in workshops, share locally prepared meals and experience the landscapes and culture of Andalusia as you travel from the countryside around Seville to the wild coast near Tarifa and the desert landscapes of Almería. The tour offers an opportunity not only to see sustainable practices in action, but also to learn about the social and personal dimensions of creating community. A great fit for: Prospective community members, aspiring community founders, people interested in permaculture and regenerative living, and travelers looking for an immersive way to experience the communities, landscapes and culture of Southern Spain.

From The Ground Up is a 7-day residential Mini Ecovillage Design Education (EDE) at Entelechy, a 13.5-acre intentional community on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. August 9–15, 2026. The course follows the Gaia Education EDE framework, covering four dimensions of sustainability: Ecological – Food systems, natural building, energy and water, appropriate technology. Social – Community governance, communication, conflict resolution, collective decision-making. Economic – Alternative economics, cooperative structures, local currencies, social enterprise. Worldview – The values, beliefs, and cultural frameworks that underlie sustainable community – why people want to live this way, and what has to shift for it to last. The course is facilitated by a graduate of both the full EDE and the Gaia Education Training of Trainers programme. It takes place at a working ecovillage where residents live what they teach. Participants stay on-site for the week in wall tents or camping. Communal meals sourced from local Salt Spring farms and Entelechy’s gardens are included. This course is for anyone interested in designing, joining, or strengthening sustainable communities — whether you’re starting from scratch, already involved in a project, or looking to go deeper than a Permaculture Design Course. Up to 22 spots. Application-based enrollment. Early bird: $950 CAD (before June 15, 2026) Regular: $1,149 CAD Payment plans, group discounts, and work-trade spots available.
