Start your own Eco-village/community
Are you interested in starting your own eco-village or community? You are not alone; more and more people are starting with a similar plan. Unfortunately, along the line a lot of these projects encounter obstacles. Usually this is not because the plants are not growing or for a lack of enthusiasm.
- Where to start?
- How do we get a land or a place?
- What makes us a community?
- Making decisions
- Financing
- Conflicts resolution
- Ownership
These are some of the problems that people encounter along the way. During this workshop we will look at some of the solutions other communities have found for these obstacles.
