What we do

EcoVillage at Ithaca is part of a global movement of people seeking to create positive solutions to the social, environmental and economic crises our planet faces. Since 1991 we have developed an award-winning ecovillage that invites you to live, learn, and grow. Our mission is to meet human needs for shelter, food, energy, livelihood, and social connectedness that are aligned with the long-term health and viability of Earth and all its inhabitants.
EcoVillage at Ithaca has 170 acres and 100 homes and over 200 residents. It consists of 3 neighborhoods, Frog, Song and Tree. It is one of the largest co-housing communities in the world. Our residents live as families, singles and couples ranging in age from infants to octogenarians. They work in diverse roles as farmers, software engineers, nurses, teachers, writers, poets, builders, musicians, legal and financial professionals, college and school teachers, photographers and artists. We have a variety of working farms, office spaces, community gardens, meadows, ponds and woodlands. Over 80% of the 175 acres will remain open green space, including 50 acres in a conservation easement held by the Finger Lakes Land Trust.

El Llamado del Agua 2017, Mexico

CONSEJO DE VISIONES MÉXICO “El Llamado del Agua 2017” MĂ©xico (Bacalar, Q. Roo) 27/nov – 03/dic Facebook: Consejo de Visiones – Guardianes de la Tierra Website: www.consejodevisiones.org Encuentro multidisciplinario itinerante que se realiza en MĂ©xico, de convocatoria internacional tiene diversos objetivos encaminados a la concientizaciĂłn de nuestra responsabilidad de restaurar y proteger el ambiente, la salud integral de la familia y la comunidad. Este encuentro de trabajo social y de concientizaciĂłn personal- colectiva busca fomentar los valores y las disciplinas que se requieren para un presente sustentable. Además de temas relacionados con sustentabilidad acuden representantes de diversas tribus y pueblos originarios de AmĂ©rica a compartir e intercambiar saberes entre ellos y con toda la comunidad. Durante 7 dĂ­as montamos una aldea de paz y campamento que funciona en base a la colaboraciĂłn y trabajo comunitario. Nuestras actividades de convivio y celebraciĂłn se llevan a cabo en un espĂ­ritu de discernimiento y respeto, de forma participativa. La comunidad se organiza y funciona por consejos (áreas de acciĂłn e interĂ©s), clanes (equipos de trabajo) y comisiones (tareas especĂ­ficas) para la realizaciĂłn de los trabajos comunitarios, las ceremonias, los talleres, las actividades culturales, etc. Cada encuentro se realiza bajo un tema diferente, relacionado con alguna causa que requiera atenciĂłn. Este año por ejemplo “El llamado del Agua” se hace en Bacalar, Q. Roo, paraĂ­so natural por la deslumbrante belleza de la “laguna de los 7 azules”, uno de los pocos ecosistemas que alberga, entre muchas otras especies, a los estromatolitos, el modelo de vida más antiguo sobre la tierra y

As with a Permaculture Design Course, in this teacher training we offer practical solutions for sharing information, which is essential in these current times.We have had great success teaching, and are advocates for the Mollisonian Standard Permaculture Design Course curriculum. We also believe each course taught needs to speak directly to local conditions and the specific skills of the presenters’ team. Jude has taught this course almost thirty times and it is never the same way twice… As proactive educators we are constantly adjusting the way a workshop or course is presented…creating innovative experiences that address varied learning styles while moving from theory to practice. We appreciate the unique skills and experiences of those attending and cultivate networking for future connections and support.
