Before reading your posts we thought that "obviously" land goes first, but it's making much more sense to us atm to find the right people first. In any case, before we think about building communities we want to live for long-ish periods in at least a couple of them.
Btw, it'd be great to have an article from you on how to find work exchanges in regen villages. Since you've lived at so many maybe you have some wisdom and resources to share 🤔🥰.
Hey Nicole! I'm not sure if this would interest you, but I would love love love an article about what to do if you already:
- have land
- live on that land
- but want to turn your land into a small community
I started researching ecovillages and all that after I had already closed on land and started the process of putting a tiny house for myself there, however it was always my vision to have a few homes and a mini community wherever I ended up purchasing.
My plan is a small community, probably 3-4 other tiny homes or so. Gardens. Common space, etc.
I have a focus on sustainability but it's definitely not as specific/"official" as ecovillage standards. But I think this approach could be much more personally sustainable for some, I didn't need funding to start, and some people may already have land that can sustain several homes but not hundreds of acres to build a whole village on.
I do wonder how financially/legally to set a lot of this up too. I have found your newsletter and many of your linked resources very helpful and love reading it, so thank you for doing what you do!
