Ecovillage Tours

On the Costa Rica Ecovillage Tour, we got our hands in the soil and learned all about seeds, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture! From food forests to syntropic farming, we saw firsthand how ecovillages are cultivating a sustainable future—one seed at a time. 🌍💚 #EcovillageTour #RegenerativeFarming #Permaculture #SeedSaving #SustainableLiving #OrganicFarming #CostaRicaLife #GrowYourOwnFood

In the heart of Auroville, our India Ecovillage Tour participants found themselves immersed in a one-of-a-kind experience—the Sounds Garden, where nature itself joins the orchestra. 🌿🎼 Surrounded by resonant stone sculptures and instruments designed to amplify the melodies of the Earth, our group came together to create spontaneous, communal music—a harmony of voices, hands, and hearts. 💫 This wasn’t just about making sound—it was about listening, feeling the energy of the space, and co-creating something uniquely beautiful in the moment. 🎵✨ 🌏 What if community could sound like this? A blend of different rhythms, tones, and expressions—woven together into something greater than the sum of its parts. Swipe to experience the magic of the Sounds Garden with us! 🎶💚 #EcovillageTours #Auroville #SoundsGarden #MusicOfTheEarth #IntentionalCommunity #SustainableTravel

Beautiful morning tour at Acorn Community in Virginia! "Acorn Community Farm is an intentional community located in the rolling farmlands and woods of Central Virginia. We are an egalitarian, income-sharing, secular, anarchist, feminist, and consensus-based commune. The community was founded in 1993 and has since co-owned and -operated a successful bioregional seed cooperative that is the primary source of our shared income. Membership in the community usually fluctuates between twenty and thirty individuals. Full members of the community receive an equal share in the land and its assets, and in return are expected to work 42-hours per week in the community. This is inclusive of our cooperative, but also includes garden work, domestic work, volunteer work, carpentry and maintenance work, and other diverse labor options." #commune #intentionalcommunity #ecovillages #ecovillagetours #acorncommunity #southernseedexchange
