living labratories creating viable futures
A community where people have deliberately chosen to design their life together around sustainability. That means thinking through how they handle everything from food and energy to decision-making and culture, with the goal of healing rather than harming the place they call home.
No two ecovillages look the same, because each one grows out of the people who live there and what matters most to them. Some are communities built from scratch around a shared vision. Others have been around for centuries villages that are updating age-old ways of life with modern insight. And some are neighborhoods within larger cities, reimagining what urban living can be.
What ties them together isn’t a checklist, it’s a shared way of working:
Today, thousands of these communities exist across the globe, connected through the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN).
Ok, so you want to become an ecovillage,
how exactly do you do that?
That’s where the Map of Regeneration comes in. It’s GEN’s guide for what regenerative living actually looks like in practice, helping communities figure out where to focus their energy and how their efforts fit into the bigger picture.
