FREE Webinar: Shamanic Ecovillage Design

Embodying Authentic Community

With Gregory Landua

Wednesday, Nov 28, 6:00 - 7:30 PDT

Presenters & Hosts

Gregory Landua


Description

What does it look like to intentionally co-create healing human communities that are rooted in healthy relationships between humans and nature, humans and humans and spirit?


Join us for a conversation to explore community creation and sustainability from transcendent awareness to the most practical realities faced by ecovillage projects around the world.


This webinar will be facilitated by Gregory Landua - lead facilitator for the Shamanic Ecovillage Design Course - a powerful and deep dive into community being hosted at the Paititi Institute in Peru from January 4th - 16th.


During the webinar Gregory will provide insight into functional community models around the world, common pitfalls faced by aspiring Ecovillages, powerful embodiment and communication practices that can help create the communities we want to live in everyday where we live now, and how traditional indigenous wisdom can help point the way towards the emergence of a new culture of connection and regeneration. 


Shamanic Ecovillage Design Retreat

As we take our first breaths in 2013 it is time to take active steps in rethinking how we live on this planet together.


How does relationship with spirit, with indigenous ancestral plant medicine ceremonies and with deep commitment to healing one’s self and the planet empower the creation of vibrant communities?


Each group will have its own answer and this course explores how to develop awareness and practices that allow for the growth of functional, healthy, earth-based, regenerative, post-modern, productive communities and ecovillages.


We will explore the creative tensions that arise when designing community, living in community and committing to community. These tensions can be evolutionary forces that weave our communities together into supportive, productive, healing families, or they can tear apart relationships and destroy idealism.


We will learn from the mistakes from the past and we will allow for the dream of the future, we will stay grounded firmly in the now through body awareness, practices, and the development of authentic communication skills.


Participants will engage community governance theory and practice including consensus models, post consensus model, and community theory from monarchy to anarchy.  Where does your dream fit? How do you build it?

Ecovillages & Intentional Communities

Over thee last 50 years, the international Ecovillage and Intentional Communities movement has birthed communities all over the world and connected together communities that already exist or have existed for thousands of years. Some of these communities include eco-towns like Auroville in South India, the Federation of Damanhur in Italy and Nimbin in Australia; small rural ecovillages like Gaia Asociación in Argentina and Huehuecoyotl in Mexico; urban rejuvenation projects like Los Angeles EcoVillage and Christiania in Copenhagen; permaculture design sites such as Crystal Waters, Australia, Cochabamba, Bolivia and Barus, Brazil; and educational centres such as Findhorn in Scotland, Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales, Earthlands in Massachusetts, large networks like Sarvodaya (11,000 sustainable villages in Sri Lanka); EcoYoff and Colufifa (350 villages in Senegal); the Ladakh Project on the Tibetian plateau;  and many, many more.
