Awakening the Village Heart and Mind (206)

From their “Zero Mile Meal Eatery” to zoning and financing innovations, O.U.R. Ecovillage in BC, Canada has paved the way for many communities worldwide. For Brandy Gallagher, the story on the planet right now could be a shared ethos of caring: “Everyone is fed. Everyone is taken care of.” Asserting that “No is just an uneducated Yes,” Brandy shows how a village mindset can transform individuals, preserve land, reduce resource use, apply permaculture principles, change laws, and even the way money works.

    I visited in 2005 and I was impressed then. And now to see what the community is up to… it’s so perfectly beautiful. I hope to get up there again soon. Be well. In Peace, Ellen Hopkins
