Good news from friend and colleague (once long-term editor of Communities Magazine and author of Creating A Life Together and Finding Community) Diana Christian (and previously fellow ecovillager at Earthaven) who writes (at her excellent new website, Ecovillage News):
I’m publishing Ecovillages as a free, bimonthly newsletter in order to encourage and inspire ecovillage projects with news about what ecovillages are doing worldwide. People seem to love photos and stories about how others are succeeding in good work. Ecovillages will bring you stories about successful projects in every issue, and practical, how-to information, too.
From six to eight articles will appear in each issue, in a variety of topics. Here are the kinds of articles and ongoing columns you’ll find:
- The ecovillage movement
- Ecovillage conferences & gatherings
- Ecovillages in the News
- Profiles of ecovillage activists
- News about individual ecovillages worldwide
- Practical ecovillage tools:
- Communication skills, decision-making, governance
- Permaculture, natural building, appropriate technology
- Legal, financial, & zoning practices
- “Ecovillagers Write” (letters to the editor)
- “Book & Video Reviews”
I’m especially keen on stimulating more interest in ecovillages in North America, ideally with news of what people are doing elsewhere. You’ll find stories about ecovillage projects in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, South America, Australia and New Zealand, southern Asia, China, and Japan. (We’re everywhere!)
