Do you want to experience community and network with community builders?
Do you want to learn skills, gain insights and get to know the Earthaven community?
Do you want to contribute to something larger than yourself while also enjoying yourself?

Be an active participant in the everyday rhythm of life and work at Earthaven Ecovillage!

The best way to experience Earthaven’s way of living is to pitch in and experience it yourself. During Ecovillage Action Week, you’ll work side-by-side with residents, making meaningful contributions while exploring new skills and expanding your ideas of alternative living. You’ll learn by doing and getting to know the community — and having a lot of fun in the process.

In addition to community work parties, you’ll have the chance to enjoy meals with community members, as well as the option to participate in yoga, meditation, hiking, and Earthaven neighborhood and home tours.

Highlights:
Working together to contribute to the beauty and functionality of the ecovillage
Conversing with villagers over dinner, around the fire, and in neighborhood work parties
Touring Earthaven’s common areas, buildings, and off-grid facilities
Exploring Earthaven’s off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods and homes
Connecting with the natural world, including hardwood forests, creeks, and birds
Practicing self-care as a pathway to rejuvenation through meditation, yoga, hiking, and soccer
Contributing to something bigger than ourselves in the fresh mountain air
Learning about residency and membership realities and pathways

Ecovillage Action Week gives you the opportunity to work collaboratively to accomplish whatever task is at hand, contribute to new experiments in regenerative lifeways, and experience the joy and satisfaction of having done so with new friends.

This experience combines your head, hands, and heart to ground your theoretical understanding of community into an applicable action-oriented lifestyle. Embody a holistic approach to living, thinking, and serving others.
