The intern group was asked "What Are Your Preconceptions of An Ecovillage?" and here are our answers:
Off-grid, Clean, Hard work, Appropriate technology, Diversity (plants/people/animals), Networked, Communication, Economic sustainability, Group effort, Goal oriented, Process oriented, Education, Spirit, Growth, Creativity, Sharing, Celebration, Interconnectedness, Integrated systems, Learning, Dirty hippies, Organic food, Natural shelter, Intergenerational people, Support, Fun and humour, Birth, Vision, Imagination, Love and respect, Local, Helping, Healthy, Co-creation, Peace, Culture, Courage, Exploration, United resources, Integration, Compromise, Breaking down barriers, Intention, Life, Circles and spirals, Indefinitely sustaining life
This is super idealistic and in reality, no ecovillage has achieved a harmony of all these elements but it wonderful to aim for because ultimately it is possible to include all of these and more. Personally, I can see all of the components already here, from seedlings to grown up.
