What we do

Eco-Village Sol will portray and represent a new way of living, a place to heal, grow and re-awaken deeper aspects of ourselves which we have forgotten and lost in the frantic and hectic pace of our industrialized world.
This will be a whimsical, creative and spontaneous journey; an intense unfolding of what it feels like to be alive, connected and nurturing towards our individual selves, other animals and the fragile ecosystem in which we reside.

Volunteers
If you sympathize with the vision of Eco-Village Sol you can be valuable for the creation of the community. Please contact us. You don’t need to be an expert, because we believe that everyone has a passion that can be of use to Eco-Village Sol.

Development update
At the moment we have 4 acre of land where we are doing mostly agriculture. We are also building lodges and doing much more activity at that location. In the meantime we are seeking a larger land for the creation of Eco-Village Sol.
Creating our own food is very important and there is much work to do. We really need much more hands to help.
In our environment you can learn how to work in harmony with nature, the tropical environment, sacred geometry, etc.
We are in the process of building a kitchen now.

The location is in the east of Curacao. This area is full of development. There are more agricultural lands, an ostrich farm, an Aloe farm, etc.

St. George’s Bay is close to where kitesurfing lessons are given. About 15 minutes from the town center and entertainment venues.

Activities include:
– Agricultural activities.
– Construction of a Tiny house for volunteers and other structures like a mobile chicken coop.
– We work with geometric shapes, so the structures being built are a challenge but a great way to learn more about this concept.
– Water management is an important task at the project because of challenging weather conditions we aim to collect every raindrop and hold it in either the soil or for our daily usage.

The most important for us is that you can feel free.

Join us in the mountains of Western North Carolina

Coweeta Heritage Center/Talking Rock Farm is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Coweeta is located in a beautiful and diverse temperate rain forest. It feels very remote here yet we are just 12 miles from Franklin, NC. Winters can be mild. Coweeta is blessed with springs and a stream, pristine forests, and abundant wildlife. Power is provided by a hydro-electric system which is not connected to the grid. An organic garden and trout pond provide healthy food that is also shared with the local community. Hiking, kayaking, and other outdoor activities are just out the back door. Coweeta is looking for others who would like to join together to form an Intentional Community embracing the principles of Voluntary Simplicity. Simply put (no pun intended): We wish “to live simply so that others may simply live.” It is a recognition that nature provides us with valuable services and resources that we can use to enrich our lives. Utilizing local resources, appropriate technology, and working cooperatively, we can discover creative ways to meet our needs as “directly and simply as possible.”. An example of this, in the tradition of many Indigenous People”, is to gather, and use wildcrafted foods as part of our diet. There is great joy in going to nature’s grocery for our sustenance. Voluntary Simplicity is based on the recognition that “very little is needed to live well” and that “abundance is a state of mind.” Living lower on the economic ladder allows us more time and freedom to pursue other life goals: community and social engagement, family time, artistic or intellectual projects, more fulfilling employment, political participation, sustainable living, spiritual exploration, and more. According to the Voluntary Collective, “The grounding assumption of Voluntary Simplicity is that all human beings have the potential to live meaningful, free, happy and infinitely diverse lives while consuming no more than an equitable share of (the world’s) resources.” We affirm the need for a work/life balance, the right to a healthy environment and healthy food, and healthy community relationships supporting a diverse population. It is our responsibility as engineers of a new generation to make the changes that we want to see happen and pass this on to the next generations. We can’t wait for someone else to do this important work. Voluntary Simplicity is a quiet revolution that can change the world. As one person said, “we must be poets of our own lives and of a new generation.” We hope you will join us here at Coweeta or elsewhere on our journey to a healthier and more sustainable future! Temporary housing is available in a 27 foot trailer trailer with attached deck next to a creek while we build additional housing. Your basic living expenses (shelter, basic food items, power and water) are met through our market garden or other fundraising projects that you will participate in. You are expected to contribute a given amount of your time and energy to help grow our community and meet our financial obligations. Possible future plans include establishing a retreat center for healing our earth and each other. Work includes organic gardening, construction projects and other community building activities. Come join Coweeta and learn how to live lightly on the land and enjoy the Earth’s bounty!
