Ecovillage

Some good thought has gone into the establishment of an ecovillage in the Hunter this week. The dream is to create an association of people that work together to reclaim our basic abilities to feed and house ourselves and to connect deeply with each other.

Imago Forest is one potential location, but we are not being rigid about this.

Imago Forest is on 173 acres, most of which is forested with beautiful tall Eucalypts. There are several cleared spots between 1-5 acres in size. The plan is to have hamlets in each of the clearings. The hamlets would be made up of 3-10 separately owned cottages placed around the outer edge of the clearing. Each cottage would be private and have it's own garden. In the centre of each clearing would be common land eg. Mandala Garden, Pastures etc.

Each hamlet would have its own individual characteristics determined by the people living in the hamlet.

The eco-village is intended to be flexible so that you can own/lease and live there full/part-time. Within the context of the guidelines, being able to fit into everyone's lifestyle is important to us.
